Stoic and chaotic. When contrary characters team up, allow themselves to be vulnerable, and are honest with each other, they have no problem overpowering the bad guys.

Photographer truth bomb.
If you spend 12 years doing the same thing, using the same lighting, never swaying from your own curated formula, you might get talent blindness. 😂
We tried something new and let me tell you, I felt like a noob. I so badly wanted to just turn my light, change my settings back, and choose the colors I always do. But consistency has felt like redundancy lately. And as a creative, that's just not the point.
Here's your gentle to push to spend a day just playing around. Because as Bob Ross said, "We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents".

Well isn't this the most pleasant surprise?! I can honestly say I didn't even realize I was nominated for the Airdrie category. What a great feeling to know someone took the time to put my name in.

Thank you! Thank you!
Proud to be nominated and a winner in the city that started it all.

Do you ever look back at photos of you holding your babies and think, "How were they so small?"

I have been slacking this year with posting, but it's not for lack of motivation. I am working on SO many great new things for Kendra Paige Photography, including processes that help serve you much more efficiently. So you can enjoy the same service and level of talent, but wait less for it. 😊

Should I do black, navy, or something different this year?

Feeling so happy and content now that all the sales are over.

Does anyone else feel strong anxiety during the last week of November? Some great deals to be had, but I'm not a fan of the push to spend.

Who remembers this absolutely stunning, wintery dream maternity session?

What makes these images so stunning? Well, aside from the obvious gorgeous mom-to-be, it's the styling and attention to details. The way it all works together. One of THE most important aspects of creating dreams.

Elements of your photographs I promise to never fake with Ai;
1. Backdrops. Having a real life backdrop, I find, helps children and even grownups FEEL like they are part of the entire vibe. Children especially fall into their imagination when they are standing next to a castle, or glittery fairy tree. I find "adding it in later" really takes away from their overall experience. To me, they need to be there with me. We create the photographs together. Creating backdrops is also a whole other art. And I truly enjoy shopping for them. A lot of backdrops inspire my sessions.
2. Clothing. Nothing beats a child's reaction to seeing themselves in a beautiful princess dress or adorable elf costume. As soon as a child puts on flowy, layered tulle, they instantly want to twirl and sway.
3. Emotion. See points 1 and 2. I love interacting with each child in a way that releases their inhibitions and allows them to just be themselves. Creating an environment and space that opens their imagination helps me capture true emotion. A photo session is not a performance. It's a real life moment of each subject feeling awesome/royal/strong/powerful/content/demure.
4. Overall appearance, skin, body, and hair. Yes, I photoshop and retouch everything. But I do it by hand, with tools and brushes. Just like a painter. Why? Honestly because I love to do it. Ai editing cuts down editing in half. But it also takes away half of what I enjoy about this art.
5. Communication. I promise you will always be reading my words, in my own words. For everything. Always.

Why do I keep going back to the same locations year and after year? Because it's so PRETTY!

Big Hill Springs Provincial Park is such a treasure to locals. I encourage all Albertans to take a moment or two to tell their MLAs how important having these parks in Alberta is. Alberta's landscape is part of what makes this province so great. We all need to work towards preserving this land, so that future generations can enjoy it too. Without these reserves and protected areas, what is Alberta?

Tell me in the comments which provincial park is your favorite!
