Cake Smash :: Chloe

July 18, 2021

Cake smash sessions bring out all sorts of emotions in us moms. They are freaking cute, a sign your little one is a year old, messy and even a tad stressful. They are always fun and even more so when your little one dives right in. You would be shocked how many kids don’t jump at the chance to fill their faces with cake. Maybe the texture, maybe the audience….maybe the sugar. BUT when a little one sees it as the opportunity of a lifetime there is nothing like it!

First birthdays are always fun. Whether you choose to do a family session or cake smash session, they are always special. The first year goes by so fast and is the perfect time to capture this time in your little ones life. I think that’s the one thing we never get until we are in the moment. How fast they grow and change. You see them every day and it doesn’t hit you until there is a milestone like this. Whether you choose to do a cake smash or something more traditional, don’t miss this epic time in your little ones life!

Thanks to The Flower Merchant for the florals and Sweet B’s for the cake!

Maternity Session :: Peony Farm

June 29, 2020

York Region Maternity Photographer

I’m obsessed with nature. Maybe not so much the bug aspect, but the greens and florals. I love when the sun sneaks through the trees and gives that golden glow. The way the darks are brightened in just the right way to highlight features. I literally can’t handle a beautiful sundown without my camera in my hand. I also can’t handle not knowing what my maternity clients are having! Boy or Girl? I’m such a Pinterest mom I had to know lol.

With all the covid stuff happening and being trapped indoors for so long I had a lot of time to look for creative inspiration. No chance to put it to use…until now. I bought this peacock chair for Mother’s Day Mini’s and didn’t get to use it. As upset as I am about missing out on that, I embraced the extra time to make the idea that much better. Turns out it all worked out and I have an amazing set for families.

A huge thank you to Janet at Country Cut Flowers for letting me use her gorgeous property. The peony field was the perfect spot for this mama and for my new baby (aka the Peacock). This chair will be available for mini’s this summer and fall and as an add on to your regular session. So excited!

Family Session :: The Favaretto’s

July 10, 2015

Sunset Sessions are full of gorgeous light and produce a glow you can’t ‘fake’ in post production. Oh Mother Nature how I love when you play nice. Such a love/hate relationship we have! Ok so maybe it had a little to do with how adorable they are as a family. Combine the two and you get some insanely gorgeous family photos. So much so I want someone to do the same session for me. Something about using a tripod and trying to get my daughter and husband to look at the same time that just isn’t the same. We have tried multiple times and end up with some ridiculous outtakes. Not so many ‘wall worthy’ images though.

Something about the glow in this type of session makes me want to do every shoot at this time of day. Then again, the mosquitos are ridiculous in the evening. No matter how much repellant I put on, how much swinging and swatting of the arms goes on I just can’t get out of a session without at least 10 bites. Would it be crazy if I had an assistant who’s sole job was to protect me from those little ba#$%^&*????? They are like the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz but Mother Natures version. UGH. I knew she wasn’t actually cooperating. I really do try to see the best in everyone LOL.
