Newborn, Family & Portrait Photography in Drumheller & the Canadian Badlands
Couples, dance, cosplay, and commercial work too — capturing your story against Alberta's most striking landscape.

Hi, We’re Joel & Tracy!

  • Joel Fabrick

  • Tracy Abildgaard

We're a partner photography team based in Drumheller, right in the heart of the Canadian Badlands.

Joel brings the technical eye — he's the one finding the light, the angle, the moment before it happens. Tracy brings the direction — putting people at ease, getting genuine expressions instead of stiff poses, and making sure every session feels more like hanging out with friends than a photoshoot.

Together, we've built our business around newborn and family sessions, along with couples, portraits, dance and boudoir — plus the fine art and landscape work that first drew us to this stretch of Alberta.

When we're not shooting, you'll find us out exploring the Badlands with our son Charlie and daughter Georgia.

We'd love to help you capture your story.
