New season loading 💭
But I have some questions for you:
1. Are you on my email list?
2. Would you prefer a client-specific chat channel over another email to read?
3. What keeps you here on my page most?
Be a pal and pop into my DMs or comment below with your responses would ya?
We’re almost there with some big shifts and I don’t want to miss any of you in the process!
😅
K thank you, love you, bye!

I am your mother,
You are my child,
I am your quiet place,
You are my wild,
I am your calm face,
You are my giggle,
I am your wait,
You are my wiggle,
I am your dinner,
You are my chocolate cake,
I am your bed time,
You are my wide awake,
I am your lullaby,
You are my peek-a-boo
I am your goodnight kiss
You are my I love YOU!

My greatest creations 🌸 The hardest job I’ve ever loved and the boys that will forever and always have my heart!

Happy Mother’s Day to every and all of you wonderful woman who show up in every and all the ways as mothers. Never have I felt and known more than now that it takes a village and I am in awe of mine! You inspire me daily and remind me that it’s never about perfection but purpose. I love you all. March on! 🌈

Are your kids also growing faster than you can keep up?
Honestly… the audacity 😂

If you’ve been meaning to update photos of your little loves (or finally jump in a few yourself), this is your sign.

I’ve opened a limited number of Mother’s Day Mini (Micro) Sessions and they’re made for busy moms who want beautiful photos without the fuss.

20 minutes
Simple + beautiful studio setting
Burlington
May 9th
$325 + HST

Perfect for:
— updated portraits of the kids
— sweet mama + me moments
— a few family photos you’ll treasure during these fleeting seasons
— or a not-so-subtle link to send your partner as gift inspiration 😏

Short, sweet, and so worth it.

Spots are limited and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Comment Micro or send me a DM and I’ll send over the booking link 🤍

“To bring a sudden, thrilling wave of hope to people’s minds or faces.”
~ With love, the first double-digit spring day after a long, dark winter.
✨
Also according to a quick Google: used as Symbolic Hope: It is used in literature or rhetoric to describe a powerful, positive influence sweeping through a weary population. (And used here as a way to reclaim this page as a place to post with abandon the things that inspire me, slow me down and want to share with you!) So hi! Happy new year! I missed you! What made you smile today? Come say hi in the comments/DMs this weekend, let’s reconnect!
🌷

This image always stops me in my tracks when I’m sifting through the CMC archives! These edible legs are in school now and time is seriously so elusive isn’t it! So while you’re here, slow your scroll and take this as your reminder to make your session YOURS!
👇🏼
Have a cute mug/sweater collection? ROCK that for your holiday pics! Want to document your regular Sunday morning pancake routine? My bags are packed! Had that thought of “gosh we should get some updated pics” as you walk past your frames. Let’s get you booked in!
🌈
It’s always so weird for me to show up when the world feels insane. I know so many of my biz besties are feeling that! But guess what? This is what we need to do. We need to show up and share joy even when and ESPECIALLY when it’s hard and heavy. We need to create and gift the world our talents and shine the lights and say I love you and show the darkness some serious competition!
✨

I’m fairly certain I’ve been making this same face most daya since Jan 1st 🤭 My South African soul really isn’t cut out for winter you guys! But I’m slowly defrosting, wading my way out of my SAD cave and getting ready for some spring shoots just around the corner!
🌸
These first weeks of 2026 have been full of many hard and heavy moments AND have had me spending some sweet getaways with friends, snuggling my boys and celebrating a few BIG wins with work and what’s coming next for this page, CMC and my business.
👀
I’m really excited to share more but I’m also just LOVING soaking in the little building block moments, the long nights that go into leveling up and having the most soul-fueling sits at tables with my biz besties. It’s a wild ride having a “big girl real world” job and also building here but as always, I’m beyond grateful to be able to get to do it all!
💕
The me I was two years ago would have never believed we would be here and be so happy and so wildly supported doing it! Thank you thank you thank you! I love that you’re here! Let’s “march on” and make this month a magical one!
🌈

I solemnly swear to try my best not to forget to book my own holiday session next year!
🤣
In the meantime, I’ll be over here happy crying at all the posts you’re tagging me in now that all the galleries are home in your hands!
🥰
Merry everything and happy always from me and my circus of kids and cats and the best kind of chaos!
Xx

54 families between October and today and 33 of you were returning CMC clients! You guys!!!
🥹
“I’m probably just gonna jingle some of the way” because I’m tired (and still have today’s to edit this week before the holidays) but let me tell you, my heart is always SO insanely full when I wrap up the last family shoots of the year!
🥰
Thank you!!! It’s never lost on me that you could spend your money elsewhere and choose from MANY other amazing local photographers! Thank you for being a CMC family! Thank you for reading your client guides and getting your cuties ready and coming early and celebrating your families with me! Thank you to the CMC dads who are some of the best sports and to the beautiful .studio.verde and .ca for the gorgeous sets this year.
🤗
Galleries will all be home ahead of the holidays and I already can’t wait to see you all next year!

Remember when social media felt fun?
Same! And after ALL the sale hype and email sending of the last week, I’ve decided that I’m bringing that energy back here but also to sprinkle some of it into your inbox.

Think: CMC shop updates, sweet surprises, memory-making inspiration, and a cozy little way for us to reconnect off the feed.

Get yourself on the 12 days of CMC-mas list this season so you don’t miss out!

Come hang out with me in your inbox every evening between 8 and 9pm where I’ll be sharing stories, surprises, and my 12 Days of CMC-mas (and YES! The CMC Cherished collection will be opening for 2026 too).

Sign up at the link in my bio, I’d love to have a chat there!
