Award Winning Image Announcement | Barrie Professional Photographer
I have been a member of the National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP) since 2012. Twice a year, they hold an International Image Competition, where some of the most talented Child Photographers in the world enter just a few of their very best portraits. I have entered every competition since 2012, never with the intention of actually winning, but because with my entry, I receive numerical scores and critiques, which help me learn and grow as a professional artist.
This week, the results from the Winter 2017 Competition were released and I was so very honoured and thrilled to have one of my images receive a Recognition of Merit in the Family category! The official Press Release is below. If you want to see just how fierce this competition is, check out the entire gallery of winning images HERE.

Why do I Love my Job? | Barrie Baby Photographer
I get asked frequently (usually during newborn sessions), how I have so much patience for doing what I do. If you’ve ever witnessed a newborn session, you know that the vast majority of the time there is a lot of rocking, feeding, soothing, shushing, crouching, breath holding, sweating, cleaning up poop, more rocking, more soothing, more feeding…. very slowly wrapping and unwrapping babies so that they stay asleep so that I can mould them and pose them just so…. very carefully positioning little hands and feet perfectly and p.a.i.n.f.u.l.l.y slowly removing my hands to take my shot… Many of these sessions last anywhere from 2-4 hours, and I’ve watched so many parents wonder how I could possibly want to do that 2 or 3 times a week (or ever, lol).
The truth is, I LOVE what I do. If all I ever did was newborn sessions for the rest of my life, I would be one happy girl! There is literally NOTHING more satisfying than being able to freeze this time forever for tired new parents to look back on when their little one has grown faster than they ever imagined. By the time they see their images for the first time, a few weeks after their session, already their baby has changed so much. I love documenting flaky little overcooked fingers and toes, fuzzy ears, delicate little eyelashes, milk bubbles on sleepy little lips, the way a new baby curls back to the way they were in the womb… I could go on…
What’s even MORE fascinating to me than the newborn session alone though? Getting to watch that new tiny human grow! It usually feels like I just blink, and before I know it I’m doing a one year session for a newborn client. It’s during these one year sessions that the reason for what I do is really driven home. To see how much a human being changes and grows and learns in the first year of their life is astounding! I do what I do (and LOVE to do what I do) because pictures never grow old. Every tick of the clock, every minute of every day that passes by we are all growing older, changing, learning…. every minute that goes by shapes us into the new person that we grow into. That is probably most evident in the first year of life. My job is to freeze moments in time, so that when our memories begin to fade, photographs will still be around to help us and our loved ones remember these moments.
I would ramble on forever about why I love my job so much, and why it’s so fascinating… but instead I’ll just let the images speak for themselves… Enjoy seeing each one of these babies during their newborn session, and again one year later!

The Farrell Family | Barrie Family and Child Photographer
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!
The Falco Family | Barrie Family and Child Beach Photographer
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
