🍂 PORTRAITS & PIES 2026 🥧📸

Dozens of families. A whole lot of pie. Puppies, kittens, little ones, grown ones, plenty of laughs… and one VERY chilly but absolutely beautiful fall afternoon. ❤️

This is what Portraits & Pies is all about.

Seeing so many of our incredible clients gathered together at Bebo Grove, surrounded by the spectacular fall colours of Fish Creek Park, was pretty special.

Real estate may be what first brings us together, but it’s the relationships that continue long after the keys are handed over that mean the most to us. And getting to reconnect, meet new additions (two-legged AND four-legged 🐾), and watch families grow year after year is one of the very best parts of what we do.

To everyone who bundled up and joined us - THANK YOU! We loved spending the afternoon with you and hope you love your family portraits and enjoyed every last bite of your pie. 🥧

A huge thank you to West Legal, our event sponsor, for helping us make the day extra special.

And if you missed Portraits & Pies this year… there’s always next year! 🍂😉

We’re already looking forward to it.

So grateful for this community. So grateful for YOU. ❤️

Picking a paint colour is harder than it looks — and according to interior designers, most people make the same mistake. 🎨

The biggest one? Choosing a colour before considering the room's fixed elements like flooring, cabinetry, and lighting. Paint should be the last decision, not the first.

The full article linked below walks through exactly how to get it right.

Thinking about refreshing your space before listing? 📲 Get in touch!

Interior designers share how to choose the right paint color for your home, from testing swatches and evaluating light to coordinating with finishes, materials, and surrounding rooms for a cohesive, long-lasting look you’ll love.
