Jill and Chad got married on June 19, 2010. Jill booked me for this wedding over a year ago and I was patiently waiting for quite some time to shoot it. The entire wedding was 1920s themed from the hair, make up and dresses to the music. Even the guests dressed in flapper girl dresses, suspenders and top hats. I absolutely love the fashion of the 1920s so I was pretty much in heaven shooting this wedding. Everything about it was unique. The groomsmen had there own theatrical walk down the aisle and the Bride came in surrounded by peacock feather fans. I had the lovely Stephanie Scade second shoot for me so some of these images are ones that she took. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Cheers! Talia

 Hi friends!

Here are some family photos of the Soroka-Gladue’s. They have two children; Nicholas & Brooklyn both of whom are cute as a button. Nicholas was very outgoing and not in the least bit shy. As soon as I got to their house Nicholas took me by the hand and showed me his room which had a lovely Thomas the train decor.  I thought it might rain during our shoot but luckily it cleared up and we had a lovely shoot out in Calahoo. I’ve never been to Calahoo but Charlene had scouted out the perfect location for us ahead of time.  With train tracks, decrepit old barns and a beautiful old rusty truck I couldn’t have asked for a better location. I know the prairies can seem rather bleak especially in the winter but in the summer you can’t deny that the prairies are beautiful. Ahhh summer! If only it would last a little longer…

My good friend Kasia recently had a baby boy named Vitali on June 6th.  Here are some recent photos of Vitali at around 2 weeks of age. 

Enjoy!

 For those of you who don’t know me very well, in addition to photography I also work as a nurse. I work in adult psychiatry and the royal alex hospital in edmonton and emergency and the sturgeon community hospital in St.Albert. Dena is also a nurse and we work together in emergency. Recently she was pregnant with her second child. She has a lovely little boy named Benjamin who calls me “Tala.” Here are some of her maternity photos. Dena recently had a beautiful, healthy baby boy named Reid, who was born with a natural faux hawk. I took some new born photos of Reid yesterday. I will post some photos of Reid soon but in the mean time here are Dena’s maternity photos! Thanks for reading!

Enjoy!

Hi friends! 

Here is an engagement shoot I recently did of Winter & Ty. Winter and I went to high school together and I could not be more excited to be shooting her wedding this fall in Slave Lake. Winter and Ty are such a cute couple! They are so obviously in love it made them super easy to photograph. For the shoot I borrowed my brother’s VW van and was fortunate enough to find a farmer that allowed me to do the shoot on his property. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the photos!

Cheers, Talia

My sister-from-another-mister, Jill, was recently pregnant. She is the love of my brother’s life and an amzing mother of two..now three as she recently had a baby boy named Arlo (will post some photos soon!). These are a few photos I took of her literally a week before she was due! Hope you enjoy them! 

This month has been full of maternity shoots! Including my good friend Kasia. Here are some photos of her lovely belly. Visit soon as I will be posting some of her newborn son Vitali!

Cheers, Talia

Hi friends,

I recently booked a wedding with Misti and Chris for the fall and instead of engagement photos they wanted a couples boudoir session. I have done a few boudoir sessions with women but not a couples session. The shoot was a lot of fun and very different from any type of shoot Ive ever done before! Misti and Chris were so relaxed and fun it made the shoot a blast. Take a gander at these photos and please feel free to share your thoughts! Thanks for reading!

So the hipstamatic, for those of you who don’t know, is an app for iphones in which you can take pictures with your phone and digitally change lenses, film and flashes. Its pretty much the best app out there (I think!). I love it so much I decided to blog about it. And I will add more hipsta photos with time. If you would like to receive my hipstamatic photo of the day on your phone send me a text at 780-242-8254. Cheers!
