On this particular day I received a call from the mom suggesting maybe we reschedule as her little human was deep into play and didn’t want to get changed.  I suggested they still come… bring all the things she was dressed up as.  Well…. she sure brought all the things LOL!  This young lady is so full of sass and awesomeness!

I hope you agree that we still managed to pull off an annual school like photo at the end…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

This year my fall was filled with my own kid’s sports and time has slipped away… I’m just getting to posting these session options now!  BUT that’s great for those of you who may have been late to plan your holiday photos.  I’ve had several families already sign up who were waiting for me to share the booking for these sessions, that said there are still many options that I hope will accommodate all of your needs.

If you have any specific request for your family photos please do not hesitate to reach out and ask.

Please connect directly for Newborn options as well!

To book a session, simply use this link to select time options from the calendar:  CHRISTMAS MINI SESSIONS

Backdrop options include white, grey, navy or natural wood as in years past and can accommodate sibling groups for any of the options.   The barn option is limited to about 4-5 siblings.

To book your time click here:  Child Portrait Event

A minimum purchase of $35/child or sibling set is required on the day of the session.   As an example, if you have 3 children on the day of the session your minimum deposit would be $105, if you’d like to also include a sibling pose it would be $140.

Hope to see you soon!

Join with me in celebrating her beautiful smile and joy she brings just by being her!

It is not as often that you’ll find me capturing a wedding these days, but I was so honoured to be witness to theirs.  Shelley and Geoff have created a beautiful life for themselves and their three children, but it doesn’t stop there as their extended family and friends are clearly just as important.  I can’t tell you the amount of times this crew had me fogging up my view finder with tears of love streaming my cheeks behind the camera.  The day was filled with such joy and laughter from start to finish.. and let me say this wedding had some of the best speeches I’ve ever heard – all coming from their kids with love and epic one liners!

Wishing you both (and your entire family) all the happiness this world has to offer as you truly deserve it.

I will never guarantee that we will get those sleepy poses as babies grow and don’t enjoy being moved around as much… BUT with some patience we usually manage to get some pretty adorable images.  I love the eye contact with the older babies, I love their ability to hold themselves a little better.  There are some really great things about older newborn session.

This adorable little man came in at 4 weeks old.  We got some great shots of him relaxed but awake as well as some of him all snuggled up sleeping.

Please let this show, that it’s never too late to capture memories of your babies!

This is such a ‘strange’ time for everyone.  That heavy feeling many of us are feeling – the one that keeps us in bed a little longer in the morning, the one that has us grabbing cookies from the cupboard… when we are not hungry.  That feeling of grief… we are all grieving the life that we were all so accustomed to.  Getting out and enjoying our beautiful Province, Country… World.    There are so many things that I think about through the day.  From the new mom’s who are close to delivering and scared of what that might look like going into a hospital.  To the new moms hoping to come into the studio and capture this precious time in their lives, the toddlers who don’t understand why they can’t go play in the sand box at the park, the school aged children who all miss their friends, teachers, classmates… to the teens who were all planning their graduation celebrations for grade 12, university etc.  There are so many pivotal moments in our lives that will all look very different now.

But life doesn’t just stop.  Our families are growing, changing and we will all learn to find ways to adapt to this current reality.  For me I’m trying to think of ways that I can help new parents still capture those precious first photos of their families.  For those interested, I’m going to create a Facebook group to teach a few tips/tricks to enable you to capture some home images.  I’m happy to even offer an editing service for the photos you do capture… as I’m not sure how long this will be going on – we (photographers) may need to find ways to help our families create amazing memories through their images.

For now, I leave you with the ‘outdoor’s inspired session.  How fitting for a time when we are asked to stay indoors.

I CAN’T WAIT TO BE SNUGGLING NEWBORNS AGAIN!!!

Thankfully, little Ellinka (Elli) was happy to wait for me to get better.  She spent the first 100 days of her little life in the NICU as she decided to arrive into the world a little early at only 26 weeks.  She and her family came into the studio last week to capture her official release out of the hospital and finally home with her family.  This little lady was a dream to photograph and work with.   Such a calm disposition, but this is also true of her loving big brother.    I’m so grateful to be able to share these moments with families, capture their love, capture the new bonds that are forming so quickly.  I’m exited to see what 2020 will bring and how many new lives I will get to meet.

Thank you to all those who trust in me to capture your families!
