Mercer Photography
Description
Natural, fun and soft photography to capture your history. Simply put, I believe photos create a family's history book.
As a young girl, I loved when my family pulled out the family photos. I remember looking at black and white photos and thinking, this person is a part of me and I wonder what they were like? I wonder what my great grandma's fur jacket felt like as she walked down the street of Edmonton for the first time? Or what my grandpa was thinking as he rested atop his prized horse overlooking the landscape of the prairies.
Photographs show us where we have come from, where we are now and even in some cases the hope of a beautiful and exciting future. They tell a story. Our history.
I can't wait to learn yours.

Making my way through work, I realized I hadn't shared any images from this session! I can't tell you how much both Brandi and I love working with the Brousseau clan. We've had the privilege of being along side them, watching their family grow into what it is now. Each time we both come away commenting on how great a unit they all are. It's a beautiful thing to witness! Here's to many more years of growth!
Chamberland Family Sneak Peek
Brandi and I were so incredibly excited to work with Roberta and John again and to meet their precious baby boy. This duo became a trio and it's clear it's how it was meant to be. Little Rollie is unbelievably blessed to have two amazing parents who are absolutely smitten with their little gem. But really, who wouldn't be? How beautiful is this new family of three? It is evident their life is going to be an adventure and I'm so fortunate to have been able to document the beginning of it. Congratulations Chamberland family!
[OFFICIAL VIDEO] O Come, All Ye Faithful - Pentatonix
Well, it's that time of year that I would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has invited Mercer Photography into their families and lives to document such special moments. I know many of you do it, not thinking about the larger picture and what these images will mean down the road. But my hope is that you can understand what a blessing it is for us to be a part of it. As a small Christmas gift to you, I'd like to present you with two of my favourite Christmas carols this year. Don't worry I'm not singing...That gift is primarily saved for anyone I take road trips with! The first is (no surprise here) O Come, All Ye Faithful by Pentatonix (https://youtu.be/Mj7Pr42rliI), and the other Ding Dong Merrily on High by the Rend Collective (https://youtu.be/3mYsVdSB0oc). I hope you enjoy a few minutes of Christmas fun and get up and dance! Merry Christmas everyone and a very special welcome to the Mercer Photography family for those already booked for the new year! We can't wait to see what's in store for us in 2017!
Prouse Family Sneak Peek
Despite some crazy weather forecasted yesterday, we were able to sneak in this adorable family just before the snow flew! I'm so thankful we were able to finally meet up as this was a session that has been in the works since the summer, haha! It's amazing to be able to travel and meet different people and be able to deliver these special moments to them. Sweet little Owen was a charmer and definitely had to be documented before he changed a bit. Thank you Prouse family, for braving the chill and taking us to such a gorgeous spot!!!

Brandie + Lance Engagement Sneak Peek
Ohhh this couple. Sometimes you meet clients who are just natural. They glow and laugh and have a great time with the session, and it's just easy capturing their moments. Brandie and Lance are two such people. I can't wait for their wedding next year! Here is a small snippet of their session. I have so many favorites and had a hard time narrowing them down. Thank you Brandie and Lance...We are so happy to be working with you!!! **Feel free to tag yourself and others and to use your images on your personal Facebook page, but please refrain from cropping the watermark or editing the images in any way.**
Happy Sunday all! I just wanted to touch base quickly, and let everyone know I'll be away for a little bit this month. The good news is, I'll be spending some fun family time in Slave Lake! I will have time for some sessions in that beautiful community, so if anyone is interested, let me know! I'd love to capture some wonderful fall moments with great people!
Bodnar Family Sneek Peek
A later than normal share, but I wanted to make sure to share this fun family session! We were able to spend a beautiful autumn evening with the Bodnar family yesterday, and we had so much fun! It's a treat living in a small town and knowing people for years and then getting to document their family. Bodnar family, you guys were a blast. You are so beautiful, easy going and up for anything. Thank you so much for spending time with us! **Feel free to tag yourself and others and to use your images on your personal Facebook page, but please refrain from cropping the watermark or editing the images in any way.**
Lepper Family Sneak Peek
It really is so incredible to be able to see a couple grow and go from being two people in love to a family that adores each other. I will never get tired of it. The way that Justin and Lindsey just LOVE their son, Jack, is beautiful. They enjoy each other to the core, and I mean really Jack...you could melt a heart of ice! Thank you so much for letting me capture this time with you three. I always love the chance to get to hang out with you guys! **Feel free to tag yourself and others and to use your images on your personal Facebook page, but please refrain from cropping the watermark or editing the images in any way.**
Roberta + John Maternity Sneak Peek
Oh this couple. Roberta and John are so simply lovely and kind and gracious. They love each other so sweetly and now they're adding to their family. This baby is already so loved and celebrated, not just by the proud parents to be but also by an incredible group of people John and Roberta surround themselves with. It was an incredible honour John and Roberta, to document this moment of your lives! **Feel free to tag yourself and others and to use your images on your personal Facebook page, but please refrain from cropping the watermark or editing the images in any way.**
After a sort of strange summer, today made my heart so full and happy. Not one but TWO wonderful sessions for families who are growing. I've said it once and I'll say it again. Everyone that asks me to document their lives has no idea the blessing they are bestowing upon me. I thank you all!
