welcome to the Blog 

Can I love this couple enough? It has been an incredible journey with Michelle and Mitchell! Michelle is a planner and booked me two years in advance. When we booked her engagement pictures she had a BIG secret that no one else knew but shared with me, she was expecting!

We schemed and planned a way to capture Mitchell learning he would be a father! Fast forward to little Fenwick making them a family and their newborn session to finally October 13, 2018, their wedding day.

The weather threatened rain but only sprinkled a handful of raindrops the entire day (but it was very chilly!). Michelle was relaxed and had that bridal glow! I don’t think I ever saw Mitchell smile so big all day! Surrounded by their family and friends they were married in the simple little chapel at Camp Medley. It was standing room only and not a single person complained because they were so happy to see them married. My favourite moment was when their best man and maid of honour were signing the wedding papers and Michelle and Mitchell were alone at the altar. Holding hands, smiling, staring at the rings they had only moments before exchanged.

Their reception was sweet, filled with laughter and all around were the evidence of Michelle’s hard work. The decor and the day were was flawless. The ideal plan had been for sunset pictures but the overcast clouds threw that out the window and instead we headed back to the sweet chapel, in the dark, we did some nighttime photos that were unique to them and location.

Thank you, Michelle and Mitchell! It has been an honour and privilege being asked to document your story, watch your family grow, meeting sweet Fenwick and meeting your family and friends.

Jackson was back for his first birthday session and cake smash! His Mum wanted a camping theme and we discussed colours and and the setup! I have done a lumberjack theme a few times and adjusted it slightly to suit Jackson. As always he was 100% full of personality and is such a joy to photograph! His Mom and I marvelled at his cuteness and she chased him around the studio! We both laughed and laughed during his cake smash because he thought that was pretty tasty!!!

I cannot wait to see him this fall for the last part of his baby plan!

I am so in love with this theme of white boho greenery cake smash!! Whether Mom and I were collaborating on some ideas and she said she wanted this my heart did a little happy dance! I have the sweetest new outfit for it and those floral hoops are my favourite diy I have done in a LONG time! It is so pretty that I even did this theme for my daughters 4th birthday!

Brie was as always so sweet! She is quite stoic and only gave me a few shy smiles but her eyes do all of the talking! She was pleasant and charmed us so many times with her sweet personality (pretty sure she gets that from her Mama!). I loved photographing her again because the last time I saw her she was just a tiny little newborn!!

I always begin my cake smash sessions with a few classic portraits. Capture them sitting or standing, depending what stage they are at. Let them warm up a bit so it doesn’t feel too weird for someone to be holding a big camera to their face! And then we prepare her cake smash setup!

I really cannot wait till he is older and his Mom yells for the first time, “Alvvvvvin!”….or his first Halloween costume with that red hat and red sweater…all teasing aside this is my nephew and we still giggle over his name and it was the name his sweet Momma has been dreaming of for many years, but first came his two sisters.

Nieces and nephews are at the mercy of their aunty…who gets to kiss them (cause it would be a bit weird to kiss strangers babies) and cuddle them a bit longer. Parents are at the mercy because I will do the setups any way I want. We play around and try new things and the end results are always one or two images I am completely in love with for artistic reasons but mostly because they are my people.

Alvin had some nice greenery in his session and  please don’t ask for that ivy…I killed it. Apparently my new-found hobby of house plants became a hobby of murdering house plants so we will stick with plastic from now on (or bring your own and I promise my black thumb won’t touch it).

love those phone calls to tell me that a newborn has become a big brother! Owen was only a few days old the first time I met him! He had the most amazing LIPS and that made me wonder if his little brother would too! Ellis did not disappoint! He also had those pouty lips that really make people look twice!

I love working with this family and Ellis decided to keep up with the other tiny people that have been in the studio, by trying so hard to stay wide awake and check out what was happening around him….but he eventually got baby whispered and we began. Big brother wasn’t a BIT shy but needed a little coaxing and patience to get his picture taken. When he finally agreed it was pure magic! I love those siblings shots!!!

Isla (pronounced eye-la) finally arrived and she was as sweet as her name! Out of the 100+ babies she was our 3rd red head? That alone makes her pretty special (and ironically enough we have photographed another Isla who is ALSO a sweet red head!!). She arrived when she was ready and she also was very curious to what was happening. She looked around and had a bit of a stare down but once she fell asleep she was down for the count! her session was all beautiful florals with some green. Soft pink, cream, mulberry and postal pink looked charming with her sweet hair and soft little cheeks.

We were pretty in love with her! I love the perfection and the artwork that newborn sessions create. Being able to see every angle, every small detail.
