I had the most beautiful session in Constance Bay this past November.
This lovely family, from Hamilton, rented a cottage on the beach while Eric was on a work contract in the area for a few months.
Marianne told me they were leaving at the end of the month and wanted to capture some of their memories they have created during their stay.
And of course we can not forget Wally their incredibly friendly 9 year old great dane.
As always an absolute honour capturing these fleeting moments.
I had the absolute honour of capturing part of Julia and Kevin's newborn story. I was able to photograph in their home (while I wore a mask)and capture these incredibly special and fleeting moments of Darien's brand new life.
Little did I know that it was one of my last in home sessions of 2020 as with Ford's announcement that came shortly after bringing us back to stage 2, we are now no longer able to work inside when all parties can't wear a mask.
So I hold on to these incredibly beautiful images so close to my heart and feel so grateful. Thank you Julia & Kevin, for inviting me into your home and trusting in me. It means the world to me.
I have been photographing the Hicks for the past 5 years. Always a ridiculously fun time. Each child is completely different which creates an explosion of emotions and character which is the ultimate ingredients for the best sessions.
Beautiful, energetic Eden gave me my second workout of the day, she definitely had me running and I loved it so much! Despite the cold water she was determined to get in it and so she did. Scroll through and enjoy all the lovely energy. I absolutely love my amazing laid back clients who just go with the flow. There's never a plan, that is absolutely the best way to allow me to tell your story.
Delightfully fun, family session with these 4 beauties this past September. All taken on their amazing property out in Plantagenet. We almost cancelled as it had rained allll day but I went with my gut and it was sooooo right. Check out that ridiculously beautiful fall sunset we got. aghhhh my heart is beaming!!
The largest Extended Family Session to date and I must admit, definitely one of my favourites! We had booked the session a month prior, thinking we'd all be in winter jackets and mittens in the month of November and here we were under the warm sun in t-shirts and sandals. Thank you Mother Nature for this incredible day and thank you to the Sauls for trusting in me to capture all this amazing love you all have for each other.
Ridiculously amazing day with Gillian and Geoff where they spent the day with their family and a few close friends and said "I do" at sunset! Thats right, sunset!
I said this before but I am immensely enjoying these small intimate weddings! I can't stop looking through their sneak peeks and I hope you enjoy their wedding story as much as I do.
I am so in love with this family. Mikaela is a good friend of mine and as I look through these images from our session my eyes fill with tears, so much so I have a few running down my cheeks. I am so tremendously happy for them. Mikaela and her sweet babies have been through incredible loss, devastating loss and when Ashley came into their lives things changed. To see them so f&@kin' happy as you see them in these images brings me so much peace. I have no doubt these images will make anyone smile as you feel the love pouring out and brighten even the cloudiest of days.
Family session with 16 month old twins and a 4 year old, plus two very cool, laid back parents... THE best time!
Someone was always up to or into something and I absolutely loved it. Please check out some of the fun we had together exploring the campus of Carleton University, where Kathryn and Pete first met
I photograph the Bolan's every 2-3 years and I'm always in awe at how much these boys change and grow! It's mind boggling and an amazing reminder how fleeting our childhoods are. I feel so privileged to be able to capture these special memories for this family.
And seriously boys, SLOW down on the growing. It hurts my mama heart.
Incredibly chill engagement session with these two beautiful people this past Friday evening with a stop at Mac's parents because we should *always* include the dogs when possible
I so look forward to documenting all the love for these two in September 2021.
I was invited to the cottage to capture this incredibly fun and beautiful session with these 3 in August. This is my 4th session with these 3 beauties. Every year I capture memories on or a few days after Lucas' birthday. It is an honour to watch this little man grow and an honour to capture these special, fleeting moments for this family. Thank you so much for trusting in me.
Also, more cottage sessions PLEASE!
Over the holidays I was honoured to be invited into the Juteau home. Typically when I photograph Extended Family Sessions ( grandparents, uncles, cousins etc), we focus mostly on portraits while getting some moments in between as that is what I used to think people wanted . Although, I can take a great portrait, portraits do not set my soul on fire. What gets me so incredibly excited to shoot is real, genuine feelings and moments, the in-betweens. Those images are the ones that will bring in a flood of emotion and feelings when you look through your photos years from now. Those moments fade over time, but having the ability to capture it on camera, freeze it in time forever is so incredible special. A simple kiss on the forehead, playing hide and go seek, pillow sights, sharing special treats with your family, snow man building competitions, THESE are the images that fuel my passion for photography. I will be using this incredible session that I had with The Juteau’s as a new model for future sessions to come. THIS is what I love and this is what I want to provide to all of you.
*please note that two members have requested I not share images on them on social media which I absolutely respect. I have taken the images of them out of these sneak peeks (mostly group photos).
We were supposed to go sledding but Mother Nature had other plans and boyyyy am I sure glad!
Such a fun session chasing this little beauty around with her amazing parents at the Landsdown Christmas Market! We even got to visit Santa!!
This past Sunday, my family and I were invited into the forest to celebrate a very special little girl’s 5th Birthday. Ardis is one of my daughter, Piper’s friends. They met at forest school when they were only 2 and half years old. Their friendship is now the length of half their beautiful lives and Ardi’s mom gave me the honour of documenting this incredibly special birthday party hosted by their loving forest school teachers’ from Wild Roots Nature and Forest School. There was a scavenger hunt, followed by a cozy camp fire with hotdogs and marshmallows and then we headed into the cabin to warm up, drink hot chocolate, eat cupcakes and open gifts. It was truly a wonderful morning and all the children and parents had an incredible time. Here are just a few sneak peeks.
This session was so perfect I am now craving more sunny winter sessions. Had so much fun with this beautiful family this past weekend at Hog’s Back Park. Amy and Victor along with the whole fam were so laid back and relaxed infront of the camera, just being completely themselves. Also the sun an hour before sunset was so incredibly magical my heart was blowing up every time I snapped a shot. And look at how adorable Quinn is… the friggin’ cutest along with his canine buddy, Riley. I can’t stop looking through this set.
Gill and Geoff both travel a lot for work and only had two days available this month to meet up for their engagement session.With all the rain we have been getting we soooo lucked out! The combination of weather, location and this friggin’ beautiful couple made for one of my all time favourite engagement sessions to date. Please scroll through to check out their sneak peeks!
See you in June beauties!
Sneak peeks for the wedding day of Jessica and Jorge are ready!! I always provide sneak peeks to my wedding clients within a few days of their big day. I try my best to pull out images that help tell the story of how the day unfolded. Now there are still 100s, possibly 1000s, that I haven’t even looked at yet, but I feel these images right here definitely allow you to feel their day. All the fun, all of the beauty, all of the huge amounts of love that was shared on this incredibly special day.
1st Wedding anniversary for Jessica and Alan! One year ago I documented their incredible wedding the day tornadoes hit down in the Ottawa area. Ridiculous winds, torrential rain and a power outage! It was an unforgettable day and one year later I photograph them again the day after their one year anniversary. Who says you only wear your wedding dress and tux once?! Seriously, such a fun session climbing waterfalls and running through the water watching the sunset. Check out their sneak peeks!
Happy anniversary Jess and Alan! I wish you a life time of love and happiness
I drove to Kingston to meet this incredible couple, Jess & Jorge. I’ll be documenting their wedding in October. They took me to this incredible hidden gem by the shores, that made me feel I was somewhere tropical. The weather gave us overcast, sunshine, a rainbow, wind and rain all in the span of 2 hours which made for so much variety I was in absolutely heaven, plus these two are the perfect match which made photographing them so incredibly easy. Here are their sneak peeks with so so much more that I haven't even looked through yet!
