The DeGroots | Edmonton, Red Deer & International Photographers

I am very, very happy to share with you today some photos of a few of my most favorite people. The DeGroot's are an amazing family, each and every one them have hearts as big as they come and a Faith that is truly inspiring. When Heidi (one of my very best-est friends!) asked if I would be interested in shooting some family photos for their Parent's 30th Anniversary I was super excited. We were a bit limited when it came to locations because of the cold and Ryan's wheelchair, but honestly it wouldn't have mattered where we shot the photos; it really is their joy and love for each other that makes these photos amazing. I really hope you guys love the photos and that they will become a keepsake and an awesome memory =) Can't wait to send you the rest! LOVE YOU!! ENJOY!!Truly,KarmenP.S. Thanks to another favorite person and best-est friend, JO!

Flash Back | Edmonton Boudoir Photographers

So I was browsing through some old work and came across this reproduction assignment I did a year or two ago. I have to admit my technical skills have greatly improved since then but I still love this shot! So I decided to share it with you =) Often when looking for inspiration for boudoir shoots I look back at old Hollywood type glamour. I just love the soft femininity that is both honest and sexy; I like to think you can see all these things reflected in a modern way throughout my boudoir photography. So anyways, my shot is the one on the left and the original on the right (obviously!!!). ENJOY!!Truly,Karmenp.s. The Marilyn look alike is the beautiful Jessica Noordhof. Hair and make-up was done by my talented little sister Rebecca Hughes.

Benjamin & Danielle {forever} | Edmonton, Red Deer & International Wedding Photographers

Hey Everybody!!! First of all I just want to say thanks so much to all of you who keep coming back to check out my new work and welcome to anyone who is here for the first time =) All the input and encouragement I have received from all of you over the past year has seriously helped shape my photography and keeps me working hard to become a better photographer with every shoot! I am so passionate about what I do and I absolutely love photographing people who are passionate about their photographs, as well as their event. Ben & Danielle were one of those amazing couples! It was easy to tell that so much thought and planning went into their beautiful wedding, they even managed to choose probably the most gorgeous day in October. The entire day was basked in a low, golden sunlight that seriously enriched their photos with such a romantic, natural feel.Danielle is an amazing artist and you could see her creativity mirrored throughout their entire wedding. From the decorations to the amazing bouquets, most of the details in their big day were handmade or purchased off of the fantastic online handmade & vintage market place, Etsy, including Danielle's dress which is a replica of the one Zooey Deschanel {I adore her!!} wears in 500 Days of Summer {one of my most favorite movies!!}. Throughout the entire day I found I was so easily inspired by the two of them and am sooo thrilled with the photos. Check it out for yourself! What do you think?? ENJOY!!Truly,KarmenP.S. Don't forget to check out their awesome photobooth!!!P.P.S. Brendan & Jo, thanks so much for assisting =) You guys are seriously the best!

Ben & Heather {sneakpeek} | Red Deer & International Wedding Photographers

Good Evening!! I am more than thrilled to share some engagement photos I took of friends and stunning couple, Ben & Heather!!! I am not going to lie, this was one of my toughest shoots to date. Between the freezing cold wind, lack of shade and intense afternoon light this last minute shoot was not easy on the nerves or the ears or the toes!! Without any time to scout for locations, we had decided to shoot down by Gull Lake but upon arrival found it to be less then desirable.Fortunately though, being a gorgeous, patient and easygoing couple, Ben & Heather rocked this engagement session!! You can barely tell that no one had feeling in most of their extremities less then 15 minutes into the shoot. It was so fun working with you two; you are so amazing together. Watching you joke around, being all cute and romantic while literally freezing was amazing =) We had so much fun, especially considering the circumstances. I can't wait to shoot your wedding; I am so glad that it is in September not February, haha. I wish you all the best in the rest of your wedding plans, I know you guys will have such an amazing BIG DAY surrounded by all your friends and family!! Hope you love the photos as much as I do, I cannot believe they turned out so amazing!! ENJOY!!!Truly,Karmenp.s. Heather is an amazing make-up artist and hair stylist who has collaborated with me on a bunch of shoots in the past and I look forward to lots more in the future!!! If you want to check out some of her work, the most recent shoots Heather has participated in were part of the Red Deer Boudoir Marathon! She also did make-up for a bunch of the Brides I worked with this summer. If you want Heather to do your hair & make-up for your wedding or photoshoot, let me know and I will send you her way =)p.p.s As always a huge thanks to Jo for toughing it out with me and being amazing as usual!!!
