Winter’s cold, sure, but it makes for some seriously stunning photographs. Snowflakes, snowmen, white canvases, glittering icy trees? It’s a photographer’s veritable wonderland! Here’s how to dress to take advantage of that winter wonderland.
Do wear a couple layers underneath to ensure you stay warm. Double up on those socks and throw on some long johns, if you must!

In a world where mental health is prevalent but its vocabulary is excruciatingly poor, photography brings us a visually emotional narrative. – Andrea Marsh (AdaLilly Photography)
I have had a camera in my hand since I can remember, but I truly fell in love snapping shots in high school with my little point, click and hope for the best camera. Its therapeutic. It became more than just art but a way of self expression. A categorized piece of the legacy I will leave. In choosing this passion I now call my profession, I am leaving behind a powerful language in images that builds a story to bring joy, and will speak to the most generous part of our human nature. To know that my work will have an involvement in someones wonder and joy, that is why I love this very powerful and complex language.
Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Anniversary!
Wow! Can you believe how much has changed in one year? I can’t. I’m reflecting back on this time last year and thinking about how lucky we were to have beautiful weather (it was stifling hot) a gorgeous backdrop, and finally a stunning couple! So in love! It was an honour to work with these two beautiful people. I am so grateful they put their faith in me to capture their memories from their perfect day!
Today we toast to you! Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary Sandy & Greg! We hope you both get spoiled!
Love all of us at the ALP Studio

If you break down the word ‘photography’, it literally means “light – writing.” While technological advances have changed since it was first named, the original meaning still gives me all of the feels.
Light absolutely matters! Its a topic often discussed in the photography world regardless of your level of expertise. I believe one of the most common hurdles to overcome is how to use your light. Be it natural light or studio light. While I may not be the most profound expert on the matter I do understand that it is a key factor for creating a successful image. Brightness and darkness are determinations of light, it helps set the mood of the image. Hence why it’s imperative to know correct control and manipulation of it, getting your image the best texture, colour vibrancy and luminosity.
Please note, Im not an instructor and don’t claim to be one but I do hope this helps my clients understand why I choose specific times of day particularly when shooting outdoors and then when shooting indoors in the studio for specifically styled genre’s.

7 Tips for Preparing for Your Summer Session
You know we’re ready for a hot summer, but are you? Here are seven ways you can make sure your summer portrait session goes off without a hitch.
Dress appropriately. Summer means hot and humid weather, which can lead to sticky bodies. Choose breathable, lightweight fabrics that don’t weigh you down. As for shoes, sweet flats or loafers are a great option. (Ahem, can we just put in here how in love we are with linen & cotton blends…#swoon!)
Think about your hair. If you or a family member’s hair reacts to humidity in a negative way, opt for a hairstyle that won’t leave you feeling insecure. For example, a pretty braid or an updo is a good choice. Or you can wear a headscarf, or use a little extra product to keep frizz at bay. If you’re still unsure might we suggest utilizing our professional HAMU services included for one in our session fee!
Pack necessities. When packing your photo shoot necessities, we recommend bringing the following items: Lots of water for all, a snack for sustenance, sunscreen, umbrella for shade, water mister, makeup touchup.
Get creative with session ideas. Summer offers a host of activities that lend themselves to amazing photo sessions. For example, there’s the Stampede (well usually), perhaps a circus, festivals, and plenty more. I’d be more than happy to shoot a really creative session with you. Not to worry if you haven’t any idea what to get creative with, this is discussed in our pre-session consult, we’ve got your back!
Think about head to toe details. For example, if you’re wearing flip-flops or open toed shoes, you may want to have manicured feet. If it’s really breezy, a hat or scarf can keep things under control.
Rest assured knowing I won’t let you overheat. Sometimes it’s hard just to walk outside when it’s scorching outside, but know that we’re going to have an amazing shoot. We’ll spend lots of time in the shade, dive into the cool A/C when we can, and I will never push your family into staying longer than they can or want.
Incorporate props. Outdoor summer shoots are loaded with imagery as is, but we can always incorporate a few props into the mix. Vintage step stools in a field look gorgeous, as do blankets, balloons, and even visually striking treats (lollipops, ice cream, etc.).
We can’t wait to work with you and your family!
