I recently photographed this gorgeous family at The Beach here in Barrie. They were the second last session of the summer before school started again, and I couldn’t believe how much the girls had grown over the last year! I have been fortunate enough to be photographing this family for a while now, and have absolutely loved watching them grow!
The weather is starting to change, and I think my remaining days at the beach this year are numbered, so I’m enjoying them while I can! I now only have THREE dates left for the outdoor Fall Family promo, so if you’re interested please don’t wait to book or you might miss out! Contact me today to book!
Since I’m really excited about the imminent changing of the leaves and the onset of Fall colours, I thought I’d share with you a session from last year that I never did have a chance to share earlier! I met up with the Boate Family one chilly Fall evening to update their family portraits. The leaves last year took their time changing colours, but luckily there was SOMETHING for us to work with on that particular evening! 🙂 There’s just something about throwing around dead leaves that brings kids and adults alike so much JOY! 😛
Have you booked your Fall portraits yet? I know back to school time is always crazy for families and booking your portraits is the last thing on your mind, but I have only FOUR timeslots now remaining for outdoor family sessions for the Fall. I am providing a $200 discount on any of my packages to the next four clients to contact me to book those timeslots! This time of year is so popular because Christmas is right around the corner, and grandparents LOVE receiving pictures as gifts!
Interested in booking? Contact me today!

I have had the great privilege of watching this family grow since little Benny was still in his Mama’s belly… he is now TWO! I met up with this family last month to help document Benny’s second birthday as well as update their family portraits. What a crazy day that day was. Just before leaving for the session, we discovered my son’s beloved hamster, Speckles, had gone up to heaven, and during his very hasty but heartfelt funeral (lol) the sky began to darken as the clouds rolled in. Having already needed to reschedule our session once due to the threat of rain, there was no way we were going to let Mother Nature win again! So out we ventured, the temperature dropped and it began to drizzle, and like the troopers they all are, they all gave me their best throughout their session anyway! I love how this gallery turned out and cannot WAIT to see the wall art that we created together up on their walls!
Thanks to mom and dad for continuing to trust me to capture your life’s most precious memories! <3

Back in June, I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely family. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny evening and the girls were so sweet and cooperative. I just loved being able to freeze so many sweet moments in time for them to look back on and treasure forever! I loved this session so much, and am excited to share it with you all today. 🙂
I am now fully booked for the remainder of the summer, but am accepting bookings in September and onwards. If you would like to book an evening golden hour session for the Fall, please contact me today, as availability is limited and spaces go quickly!

I know it’s only March… I know we didn’t really have THAT long of a winter… but I’m about to throw a child-sized tantrum because I want to be outdoors shooting in the gorgeous, comforting warmth of summer! I want to smell flowers and swat away mosquitos, and chase sweaty little children and their families around a field in the setting, golden sunlight because that’s what I LOVE!
Ok… end pity party. 😛 Instead, I will share a favourite session from last Fall with one of my favourite families ever! I’ve been working with them for a very long time, and love every opportunity that I have to capture their awesome personalities!
Want on my calendar? Now booking for May, June, July, and August! August is nearly full. Contact me today to inquire! 🙂

I’ve been on a mission to blog every single day in an effort to share most of the gorgeous families, children, and babies that I have had the pleasure of working with over the last year. I was so busy in the Summer and Fall last year, that I never got the chance to share these, and it’d be a shame for them to go unshared, because well, these families are all BEAUTIFUL! 🙂
I met up with the Elliott Family last summer, and I’d like to say that it was a beautiful day, but it wasn’t really. It was a day kind of like today, cool and drizzly. We chose to go ahead with the session instead of rescheduling because the forecast was calling for a lull in rain. However, when we all showed up at The Meadow it was drizzling very slightly and by the looks on everyone’s faces I could tell that they’d rather just get back in their car and leave. 😛 However, we forged ahead, and eventually I could see the kids forgetting that they were chilly, their little personalities came shining through like we wished the sunshine would!
I loved how this session turned out, thanks to this family for trusting me to capture your precious memories two years in a row! 🙂

I take only 8 sessions per month in order to dedicate the highest quality of service to each of my valued clients, so if you know that you’d like one of these Golden Hour timeslots, please email me to inquire or use the contact form on this page for more information.

As we brace ourselves for the storm of the century this evening (ok maybe I’m exaggerating… although 50 cm seems like a lot, so maybe I’m not…) 😛 I thought I would put out a blog on one of my favourite extended family sessions from one warm summer evening last year. Just looking through these images brings me back to the warmth of that evening, and I cannot WAIT to get out there again this year starting in May!
This particular session took place in The Arboretum (have a peek at my Shooting Locations page if you’re interested in booking a session to see the different locations available for what suits you best!)
I am now accepting outdoor bookings for outdoor golden hour family sessions starting in May on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at 5:45 and 6:45pm. I’m typically booking up about a month to two months in advance right now so if you know you want on the calendar between May and September, I encourage you to contact me any time to secure your space in the calendar. I accept about 8 bookings per month during this time period.
For now, enjoy some beautiful WARM images from a gorgeous summer evening with a beautiful family that I just loved working with! 😀
