Jillian G.

Ah the whirlwind season of Graduation. If your a photographer who does grad sessions, you know.

June should be spelt Gune

Jilli bean, I have known this nugget since she was around 5.

So graduation photos for this lady was slightly surreal, in a how the hell is she adulting already way.

She’s wicked smart, artistic, funny, and kind. A true beauty in all the ways.

Luckily Jillian and I are a great match on the creative side of things. This shoot was beautiful and brilliant.

As you can see she’s a natural.





Boyfriend Beckett was a gem at going with the flow. - Thanks for your patience Mr. B




A quick little drop in by some of her besties, was such a blast. What a fun group!

Morgan B. Graduation

Some smiles and laughter, with Morgan and her family while snapping a few for her grade 12 graduation, amongst the vibrant colours and serene surroundings, of Saskatoon’s Forestry Farm.

I took some photos for her brothers grad a couple of years before, so it was slightly nostalgic to have the family in front of my lens once again.

Such an honour capturing this monumental milestone in Morgans life. Thanks again for having me xo.

A Covid Grad


A Covid grad from the inside.

Social distancing left the Graduates of 2020 looking for new and inventive ways to carry out a graduation ceremony and celebration.

This beauty is Paige. I’ve known her, her whole life, and adore her and her strong and magnetic personality.

I was excited, honoured, and little curious about how this was all going to play out.

It took place at a race track. I believe there was more than one school involved. So there were a lot of diplomas to be given out, and a lot of waiting.

Each graduates name was called with a brief introduction.

They would then proceed to do a lap around the racetrack, safely segregated inside their vehicle. Waving to the crowds out an open window or sunroof, like a parade of royals.

It was a grand procession of vehicles of all shapes, makes, and models circling the track, each containing graduates optimistic for a future yet unwritten.

Here are some photos from the day.
