Welcome TO THE

The wink attempt, the missing teeth, the jumps, the funny faces. It’s important to capture ALL of this during a family photo session. When your 6 year old is 12 they might not be so keen to ham it up for the camera (trust me, I have a 12 year old). Capture them now while […]

I’ll let these photos speak for themselves. This was an at home session and goes to show that what’s most important in your photo session is the people in it. Yes, they live on the lake so that was awesome but what I love about these photos is them.

Do you need a fancy/trendy location for your family photos? Nope, not at all. All of these photos were taken in the front yard of this family’s home. Is it nice to go to another location sometimes? For sure but don’t feel like you have to. Especially with young kids staying at home may be […]

I was at yoga last night and my teacher was talking about mental health as it was Bell’s Let’s Talk Day. She was saying how really simple things can make someone feel worthy – like they matter. She recounted a story about it being her nephew’s 9th birthday. She Facetime’d him and told him she […]

What’s happening in this session? A whole lot of everyday life. Building, cuddling, jumping, running, colouring, snacking, hiding, tickling. With toddler twins I know the session needs to be led by them. Not making them sit in a certain position or asking them to look at me. I take their cues and just let them […]
