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

As promised, another squishy newborn post this week! I had a huge baby boom back in April, seeing 4 newborns within the course of 6 days! Campbell was one of those newborns (all were boys, by the way). Come to think of it, I don’t know when I have another little girl booked, so far everyone on my calendar is bringing me a boy! Mr. Campbell wasn’t much interested in sleep, but I’ve never been one to give up, and in the end, I won and this little dude fell faaast asleep, and just LOOK at the sweet, squishy gallery we were able to get out of his session! I love looking back at this one, so simple and sweet!
Just a little calendar update since my last blog post – I am now fully booked for June and July. I am still accepting bookings in August and onwards (only 2 more for August though!) If you want to secure space for yourself, please contact me now.

I haven’t blogged in AGES and I have so many adorable, squishy newborn sessions that need to be shared! On this day, back in April (has it really already been THAT long ago!?) I met with new baby Hudson and his family in my Barrie Photography Studio for his newborn session. He was such a dream to work with, and I LOVED the colour theme of moody blacks, greys, and blues that his parents suggested for his session.
As far as newborn sessions go, I am currently booking into December (yes, I have December newborns on the calendar already!) with 2 spots left for July, and 1 left for August. I will be away for two weeks this Summer with my little family, so if you are expecting and would like to secure a timeslot for yourself in my calendar, please contact me NOW to book to avoid disappointment.
Thanks to everyone for keeping me hopping! Now, enjoy sweet squishy little Hudson’s newborn session! I promise to have more newborn goodness up on the blog this week as well!

I absolutely love capturing milestones for this family! Which is what I’ve been doing since their first daughter was just 6 months old. I met their second little gal, Scarlett, at the same age (6 months) and was thrilled to have the opportunity to do her first birthday portraits as well. She was such a cheeky little chicky all throughout her cake smash! Usually, I get little clients who are either a) completely indifferent to the cake and could take it or leave it, b) Love it! or c) HATE it! Scarlett fell into the LOVE IT category and just couldn’t get enough! She smiled the entire time, stuck her tongue out at me at the most opportune moments, and just overall put on such a great show that I had a really hard time narrowing down her gallery afterwards!
Scarlett’s family ended up with a total over 60 unique images in their gallery, which they used to create a stunning commemorative heirloom album for Scarlett to look back on one day! I think I’ve mentioned before how much I LOVE albums, so I was thrilled to be able to create this little masterpiece for Scarlett!
I’m now booking outdoor sessions for evenings, with my first availability at this time being the last week of May. If you’re interested, please contact me today!
And now, here’s Scarlett! 😀

I have so many fun family photo sessions from last season that I haven’t ever had the opportunity to share, and with the 2016 outdoor season upon us, I thought now was the perfect time to start sharing! I met up with this fun family last summer at The Field for an extended family session. You never know what you’re going to get with little boys of this age as well as a toddler! We had so much fun that night and the end result was some super fun family photos to cherish forever. 🙂
Bookings are now open for weekday evening Golden Hour sessions! Yay! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings at 5:45pm and 6:45pm… if you’d like a session for yourself, please send me an email or use the Contact Form on this page.

Anyone who’s visited my studio has seen the array of different products that I offer to all of my clients to complement their sessions. I am passionate about only offering the best, most unique products on the market. Could you get prints at Walmart or Shutterfly? Sure you could, but they wouldn’t be even close to the quality that I can offer you. But really, it’s not just about the prints, it’s about things you CAN’T find anywhere else, like the Woodmounts, the Floatmount Collages, the whimsical frames, and my absolute favourite, the Heirloom Albums!
Why are Heirloom Albums my Favourite Product?
My house is covered in canvas and framed prints, because it makes me super happy to see the love that my family has for one another hanging on my walls. It makes my heart happy when others stop to admire the art that’s hanging on my walls too! But really, my one true love is albums. Like many of you, my home suffers from a lack of prime wall space to hang large wall art. Add to that fact that there are sometimes upwards of 60 beautiful images from each session I do (with my own kids and with my clients) and it can be so hard to choose which FEW are wall worthy, and which ones will remain on the USB, never to see the light of day. 🙁
Heirloom Albums solve ALL of these problems!
~ With 20 Lay Flat pages, they literally fit every single image from your session inside!
~ No wall space? No problem! Simply place your album on your coffee table and you can enjoy your gorgeous images just as much as if they were hanging on your walls!
And the bonus right now? Purchase an album with your session and receive a 50% discount off of your purchase of the Entire Gallery of Digital Files! Ask to see my sample album the next time you’re here so you can see the quality for yourself!
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 always love working with this family! I have been working with them since little Mason was still in his mom’s belly. I had so much fun, last Fall, watching the kids run around together, having fun during our photo session at The Arboretum! Just look at Mason’s face in the images below, he was clearly having a blast! 😉
I am so looking forward to getting outdoors for all of the family sessions that are lined up starting in May! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings at 5:45 and 6:45 pm – if you’re interested in snagging one of the 8 spots available each month, please let me know! 🙂
Happy Friday everyone!

Back in the Fall, I had the opportunity to work with little Miss Ellie and her family again in celebration of her second birthday. I have been working with this sweet girl since she was 3 months old, and it has been a great pleasure to watch her grow!
On this day, we met for an outdoor cake smash session in The Meadow. The weather was warm and sunny for an early Fall morning, and we all had so much fun watching Ellie’s reactions to her balloons, some bubbles, and her CAKE! 🙂
If you’re interested in a session like Ellie’s, please contact me to inquire, I’d love to hear from you! 🙂
