The Portfolio

 

There are so many threads we continue to weave into our family story as we grow and change, here at Plaited we have an option for every shape, size and phase. Follow the story that represents the stage you’re in right now.

 
 

Memories at Home

Home is where we make most of our memories together. This family wanted to record all their favourite parts of their day that take place in their home. We designed this shoot to include breakfast in bed, getting ready together, cooking in the kitchen, and playing “chase” around the main floor. These portraits will always remind them of their favourite things about this stage of life.

 

Family picnic downtown calgary

This spring family photoshoot, under the lilacs in Riley Park in Calgary, was a tailored experience to capture their family’s love of spending time together over food. We designed this session to capture those memories for them in a stunning way.

 

sailing boats in the stream

Family walks and playing in the river in Calgary’s Fish Creek Park were among this family’s favourite activities to do together, so that’s what we did for their session. We made little boats for them to race down the river, their Dad showed them how to skip stones, and they splashed around with Mom. This was a night filled with fond memories, and they won’t ever forget them since they’re what the portraits on their walls are made of.

 

A Family Newborn Session

This Families Newborn Session was planned to include the baby’s brothers as well as her parents. We made sure to go over the places in their home that they like to spend time with the baby, capturing photos in those places to preserve the memories of her newborn days.

 

Motherhood Session

Motherhood is an incredibly personal experience of deep connection. It’s transformative and sincere, powerful and gentle, and each moment is laced with a kind of magic that only comes from being someone’s safe place, of giving and receiving unconditional love. There is nothing that makes me want to freeze time as much as motherhood does, which is why Motherhood Shoots are such an incredible experience. Perfectly curated to capture your connection with your child and their connection to you, just as this custom South Calgary Motherhood Session does, covering all their favourite things to do together.

 

Maternity Session

This family makes memories downtown Calgary, living close by and adventuring in the city are some of their favourite things to do, so that’s where we decided their photos should be taken. We chose a heritage building as the backdrop for their portraits, a location that matched the classic style they wanted was the perfect plan to suit their family at this stage.

 

Summer Days in the backyard

When your little one’s favourite time of day is bath and story-time, there’s no better activity to centre a family photoshoot around. For this Family Session in Bearspaw, we designed and styled this shoot to look stunning as we captured their favourite memories together in their own backyard.

 

In-home newborn session

There’s nothing better to remind you of the miracle and magic of life than a sweet little newborn baby and their parents love for them. This Newborn Lifestyle Photoshoot took place in Central Calgary and was designed to capture their feeling of being wrapped in a cocoon as a new family, filled with sincere love and safety.

 

Cityscape Extended Family Session

When our family grows older and children move out, it can be hard to get together! Extended family photo sessions are the perfect way to take advantage of those rare moments and document your growing family. We start with large family portraits, as well as pictures of each unit on their own, making sure we get all the groupings you could want or need. This family has made beautiful memories in the city of Calgary, so a Downtown session with the cityscape as the backdrop was the perfect personalized plan for them.

 

Family Adventure Session in the woods

This family’s favourite thing to do in the summer is explore the woods, spend time in the fort they built with their Dad, and wade through the nearby stream. We designed the wardrobe to match the setting and adventured together, capturing real memories these boys will look back on fondly even when they’re grown.
