For about two years now, I have been playing around with creating an old world feel to my images in various ways, and even pulled out my old "Sears portrait muslim" to create an award winning image of Edison in 2016. I have invested into a few paper backdrops that have that vintage aged look but although they work they're not authentic and [...]
My favourite requests are when parents want to bring their children in for a portrait update because of an upcoming milestone, especially when it's my family! This little peanut is my youngest niece who is actually a little camera shy. You may not see it from these photos, but she really wasn't into getting her photos done which is not the norm for [...]
Just when I think living in Puslinch couldn't get any more breathtaking, it seems a large family of blackbirds has made an nightly ritual of visiting a group of Walnut tress in my neighbours like clockwork every evening. The first night they arrived, I walk out my back door and was immediately hit with the sound of what felt like 1000's of birds [...]
My daily life is blessed with so many cuddles, but it's not without hourly parenting struggles. I have two young boys who have very different reactions to the exact same situation. So what works for one, doesn't for the other. And, of course, they are constantly pushing their boundaries where some days it feels like NOTHING works. However, through all of it, I [...]
The response from this Mom's Facebook Sneak Peek was that she was left in tears! I can't wait for her to see more because I know those tears were happy ones! Full disclosure: When a parent brings a costume outfit to their session I generally cringe because they often are too big and in turn are uncomfortable for the baby to wear, however, [...]
It's with great and exciting pleasure that I am announcing my first collection project called the Sweet and Sour collection. The idea came to me while I was at the International Photography Conference & Expo this past April, listening to a speaker go over their process, and they mentioned they have a special themed session every month for babies. The idea got this [...]
Tis the season for crazy schedules and taking on more than you should handle! I am in a few photography groups who are all searching for the light at the end of the Christmas Photography Session tunnel. This photographer however, has learned from past years that if I don't plan and schedule my time and sessions for Novemember I end up missing more than I get [...]
Welcome Baby B!-Newborn Photography As a newborn photographer one of my favourite parts of the job is sharing sneak peeks for my clients. This lovely couple who welcomed their first baby at the end of April and this little newborn boy was so awake and alert during his session. Our circumstances were such that because of my own little men (and me) getting sick and some [...]
As fall started closing out, this family portrait photographer was surprised at how many people were still booking for outdoor family photography portrait sessions. Unpredictable weather which could see a day as warm as summer or give a great taste of winters chill was the story of this fall however I was so lucky to end up with some really great days and although [...]
Happy New Year everyone! I am super excited to launch my 2016 Family Portrait Guide which features my new pricing structure. I am trying something new this year, NO SESSION FEE! What?? Right! :) I have been photographing families for 8 years now and feel confidant enough in my skills that you will want to purchase all you can once you see the portraits [...]
