A little Halloween story about the origins of my witchy era… 🧙🏻‍♀️

When I was a little girl, a boy once called me a witch. He proceeded to explain that the reason redheads are so rare is because we’re all witches and we were burned at the stake.

Naturally, as a little redheaded girl, I was absolutely DEVASTATED

Fast forward to adulthood and apparently that little boy was onto something… because instead of being offended, I’ve fully embraced my witchy side.

The woo woo, the moon phases, the crystals, the little rituals, the things that probably make perfectly ordinary people question my sanity. All of it.

And every Halloween, I happily put on my witch hat and lean ALL the way in.

Turns out, I didn’t grow out of being called a witch. I just grew into it. 🔮

Happy Halloween, witches. May your coffee be strong, your intuition be loud, and your photos always be a little magical. 🖤

Can we talk about how we keep waiting for the perfect time to book family photos? When the kids behave. When we lose those 10 pounds. When life calms down. When we have matching outfits and our s**t together. 😂

Meanwhile, our kids are growing, life is happening, and YOU deserve to be in the photos, too.

You don’t need a perfect life, a perfect body, perfectly behaved children, or a tree full of leaves in your backyard. You just need to show up 💕

And P.S. Calgary… fall photos are NOT cancelled just because your yard looks like November! 🍂😉

Now tell me… which ghost personally attacked you?👇

WE SAW A MOOSE in Carburn Park!!! 🫎 We ALMOST rescheduled this session, and I’m SO glad we didn’t! It had been raining on and off all day, and when this sweet family arrived for their session it was absolutely POURING. But this is Calgary, after all… sometimes you just have to sit in your car for 10 minutes and wait for Mother Nature to get her act together 😂 And sure enough, we ended up with the most beautiful evening for photos! ✨

Now for the funny (not-so-funny) part… 😅

We spotted the moose briefly twice during our session and made sure to keep a respectful distance.

After the session my whimsical self decided to wander off alone to see if I could spot it again. I didn’t realize one tiny important detail… MOOSE ARE ACTUALLY REALLY DANGEROUS and attack more people than bears 🙃

I sent my husband a photo, wandered off on my little adventure, and then proceeded to be unreachable for AN HOUR. Meanwhile, my husband was convinced I’d been attacked. Whoops 😬

In my defence, there was a full moon and I had been left unsupervised 🤷🏼‍♀️🌙

Anyway… we got beautiful photos, saw a moose, made some core memories and I gave my husband a new reason to question my decision making skills. I’d call that a successful session

Please don’t follow my wildlife viewing strategy by relying on the animals feeling your non dangerous vibes to not attack. Admire wildlife from a SAFE distance, friends 🫶🏼🫎

The colours were perfect but the weather was less than desirable 😬 It rained off and on for this session…last year they had an extremely windy session…perhaps next year they will be blessed with good weather for their annual family photos 😅

We saw the Fishcreek bear right at the very beginning of this session!!
I was just yapping about how I thought I was far more likely to get robbed than to see a bear during a session and then the bear crossed the path right behind us 😳 Still annoyed at myself for not catching a photo

Once in a blue moon I venture out of the burbs 🙃
