welcome to the Blog 

I do NOT do passport pictures. Nor do I print at my studio. All of my printing is outsourced to companies that specialize in printing portraits, not passports.

Where to Get Passport Pictures Taken in Saint John

You can get your passport photos take at Shopper’s Drug Mart on 110 Crown Street, Saint John and you can also go to Staples on Rothesay Avenue.

UPS Store on Rothesay Avenue also does passport photos. 337 Rothesay Avenue, Saint John.

There may be other spots in the city that also do passport photos and if I am made aware of them, then I will update this post.

What about Visa Photos?

No, I do not do Visa photographs either.

Can You Try to Do a Visa or Passport Picture?

No. I realize that the specifications are online, however it is not part of my business.

Luke’s Mom is close friends with my sister in law and when she booked I was excited to meet her and the adorable baby I kept hearing about! Luke was only 6 months old and ‘just’ sitting up on his own but his Mom was never more then an arm’s reach inc are he got a little wobbly. The session was tons of fun and Luke truly was the happiest baby I have ever met! He just kept smiling and laughing! His Mom Courtney had some great ideas for different sets and he was so cute! This is the first session of three because they are part of the Baby Plan, which means I will be seeing him two more times after this session!

I want you to meet Jennifer!

I have worked with a few different assistants for various sessions and they have been awesome! The studio has been becoming busier and busier and it was time to finally have someone more permanent.

Why an assistant? Especially after working so many years without one unless necessary (like twins!)? Working with an assistant makes your session go so much smoother. There is someone to grab a prop or change a set up while the other holds baby.

Ours Moms are recovering from childbirth, both parents are learning to deal with sleep deprivation so this is our way of pampering you! You can sit back, relax, watch the session from only a few feet away and enjoy yourself with no need to get up and help.

Jennifer is the second set of hands and eyes that are trained to spot and keep your baby safe. Some props, poses and babies require a second set of hands.

Having someone to join the team has been a fun and exciting experience. There were so many incredible people who applied and it took a few days to narrow down the applicants. Jennifer and I have been friends for many years (we were on the same cheerleading squad in high school!) and I respect her professionalism in her own small business with Jamberry .

It has been almost two years since I opened my studio in Saint John and since that time my business has grown steadily in the direction that I have been working towards.

Being a mother of five young children and a business owner has required balance, which is not always my strongest trait but is a continuous effort. As much as I would have loved to have a huge studio and clients daily, I know I cannot handle the work load and give my children and home the attention they wanted. So, I stayed small.

Clients are always taken aback when they enter the teeny tiny space of Enchanted Hill and I know they are amazed that we can make magic happen with only a little over 100 square feet of space. A small studio has taught me economy, I am careful about props I buy knowing I must be frugal with my limited space. I have learned to be creative in a small space and accept the limitations of space.

I have been sharing a space with Lisa Garnett from Playful Moments Photography and Garnett’s Bridal these past two years. Sharing a space has required compromise on both of our parts and we became good friends as well. Whenever we were both at the studio at the same time and could find a few minutes to chat, we would jump at the chance! As colleagues and business owners we have supported and advised each other and from these talks, and hard work on our own, both of our businesses have grown and we were beginning to feel growing pains. Garnett’s Bridal needed more space and so did I.

On October 1st the studio will be moving to 1216 Sand Cove Road to the Maritime Opportunity Centre. We will have triple the space, close to lots of fields and Irving Nature Park, be able to accommodate larger in-studio family sessions, and for newborn and ordering sessions we will have more room for family members who want to watch!

For everyone who has been pre-booked we will be letting them all know before their sessions, it is only about a 7 minute drive from the current studio.

Once the renovations are complete I will post some of new pictures to show off the new space.

(**updated picture of my crew and another reason for a larger studio…they are getting bigger and we needed more space to capture all of them in-studio when the weather turns cold**)

I am so proud to say I am now a CMPro…(and the first only one in New Brunswick!). What does this mean? I basically took an exam for photographers. I had to submit 150 images that would be reviewed by three other photographers, everything was done anonymously, the reviewers did not know who they were reviewing.
Every image was evaluated on the technical proficiency, colour, creativity, expression, etc…and my images past the test and I was invited into this small and select group of artists.
Clickin Moms is a group of over 17,000 photographers they created the CMPro group to share, teach and set a standard in the photography industry.
It does not mean any changes for my local clients but it does mean that my work is being shared with a global audience on the CM Daily Project.

It was a personal and professional goal that I have worked towards for a very long time, when I received my acceptance letter I had a little celebration and my ever supporting husband just grinned and said, ‘I told you so, I knew you would get in!’. It is also pretty neat to see my name in their directory.

And this badge means so much to me, it means hard work, many hours of reading and studying and practising.
