I turn moments into significant memories that move your soul.

C’mon! I’ll show you how!

 

When it’s time to hire a photographer to capture what matters most in your life…

Get someone who understands you and pulls you out of your shell, so you can call the best shots & find the authenticity you’ve always wanted along the way.

 
 

If you feel a little awkward or unsure of yourself, you’re in the right place. Palm and Prairie Photo is a place where you go to get captivating images in a fun but intentional-about-visual-storytelling manner.

 

Because I get it - you want photos that reflect your personality, elevate your confidence, connect with your loved ones, and grow your love towards each other. 

I also get that getting photos taken feels a little intimidating. You’ve built a beautiful life and wonderful relationships, but you’re just a little uncertain…and all the what-if’s start to creep in…

…what if I look awkward?

…what if I have nothing to wear?

…what if my kids don’t cooperate? 

Take a deep breath! My job is to provide and guide you through a stress-free photography process from start to finish. Think of me like your personal storyteller and the friend who taught you the right way to curl your hair.

My greatest joy in the process is uncovering the magic of your story.

This studio has always been (and always will be) less about me, more about you. I truly believe that every season, every relationship and every soul is purposeful and worthy of being seen.

Our stories, victories and struggles, and everything in between are what mold us, which in turn create beautiful, significant memories that we have the opportunity to preserve and cherish forever. And I can’t wait to collaborate with you to uncover YOUR magic.

 

 I believe:

Great photos should remind us of what we are, not who we “need” to be.

It’s more important to have a beautiful soul than a “perfect” body. Every body is perfect, just as it is.

Humour is my secret weapon when adding more joy into each shoot.

I believe in choosing courage over trying to “fit in”.

Our voice is one of our greatest gifts - we should use it to speak the truth we see in people.

 
 

You can entrust your most meaningful moments to Palm + Prairie!

Bring your story and I’ll help you tell it like it is.

 

The Palm + Prairie Story

I was born in California and raised in Alberta. I’ve always been inspired by the visual aesthetics, deep culture and effortless beauty that both of these places have to offer.

With a style that is part nostalgic, part fine art, my work balances both the candid and polished moments with warmth and the essence of your soul.

Palm is a soulful expression of what I create while the wild and open prairies remind all of us to find new strength and know that we can be braver, better, and more capable if we allow ourselves to be free.

That’s how I knew ‘Palm + Prairie’ was the perfect name for the studio. I wanted to create a photography business that was different. I wanted to create work that showcases who you are while inspiring you to grow and be courageous.
