I am SO excited to share this event! Booking opens May 4 📸

Are you the culprit? The one who goes for professional photos (wooohoo! Go you 🙌🏼) but then lets those beautiful images sit on your phone until you forget about them?

In 2026 it’s time to change up the way we hang onto our photos. Remember when you were young and you’d see old family photos up on your grandparents walls? Or seeing your parents’ wedding photos for the first time in an album you could flip through? Those are real heirlooms! Your photos are worth more than space in your iCloud

I’m still daydreaming over this 2025 wedding! These two tied the knot in their own living room with their immediate family, snuck away with me to take photos together and then went home to throw a huge house party with all of their friends 🙌🏼

My favourite wedding days are the wedding days that are celebrated the way YOU want! Whether that means skipping traditions that you don’t connect to or adding your own new traditions and twists, I love when couples infuse themselves into their day ❤️ It’s your day! You get to choose exactly how you want it to play out

The wedding questions I get asked the most! 📝

The way you feel when you show up to your session has a huge impact on the way your images turn out! Why? Because your energy as parents has a big impact on your kids’ mood throughout photos

Taking these steps allows you to have a calm morning and having a calm morning results in:

📸 more patience for your kiddos and less overstimulation
↪️ an overall higher family mood
↪️ fewer meltdowns from little ones
↪️ room to enjoy yourselves and have fun!

When you’re relaxed and having fun with your family, the magic and connection that we love to see in photos comes to life!

This snowy family mini session is forever one of my favourites! Want to know why?

Josh and Katie always encourage Swayze to do her thing and it allows her to bring so much energy! She’s warm in her jacket and unicorn dress and even started a snowball fight with mom and dad partway through our session 😂

Because they were ready to have a good time in the cold temperature, I got to see so much personality and family fun in our short sesh! 🙌🏼

Save this post so you can reference these tips for your winter shoot! 📸❄️

I’m now booking snowy sessions for families, maternity, newborn and couples/engagements 🥰

If you haven’t already heard the news, new and improved albums are officially available!

Albums have always been offered as an add-on to your wedding package, but now they’re included with my top two packages 📸🙌🏼

You even have the option to purchase parent albums to gift to your parents and family members!

If you have a regular session with me and would like to add on an album, we can absolutely do that too! Album options will be given to you when you complete your booking package with me 🥰

Fall minis round 2 🍂🤎

Trying to navigate rainy October weather means that I ended up having multiple rounds of fall minis instead of just one! As much as I would have loved to have had beautiful weather on our original planned shoot day, splitting sessions up into a few days ended up being so much easier on my super pregnant body! 😂🙌🏼

Fall minis are my fav to host! Cute outfits, beautiful colours, pumpkins and crisp air 🍁
