Flower Farm Mini’s 2021

July 21, 2021

Flower Farm Mini 2021

Flower farm mini’s are back and almost sold out! Book now before it’s too late!

This yearly tradition is one of my faves and Country Cut Flowers never disappoints. Who doesn’t want to be surrounded by gorgeous flowers?! There are two options for these sessions with the barn setting and the field of flowers. The field is wide open so I have limited these spaces to the last three of each date. Unless we get overcast weather. The barn offers an old wood fence, barn with boards and stone as well as lots of flowers! This area is amazing for families with little ones who have an earlier bed time as it is shaded earlier and we don’t have to worry as much about golden hour times.

Limited spaces available on each date. Don’t delay in booking as these sell out every year!

August 24, 2021 – ONLY 1 Space available

Sept 14, 2021 – ONLY 3 Spaces Available

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!

Newborn :: Riley

April 23, 2019

Newmarket Newborn Photographer

Sometimes we make friends when we least expect it. Sometimes they come into our lives and it seems like we’ve known each other forever. I love my clients and have met some awesome people over the years, but these guys just feel like old friends. It was at their first newborn session a couple years ago that I fell in love with them and so glad they chose me to to capture so many important moments in their lives.

When I found out they were having another baby it just made me so happy. When I heard it’s a girl I was over the moon happy. There’s been a bunch boys in the studio so this was a welcome change!

I really do love what I do and feel like a part of many families because of the trust they put in me to capture these types of moments. So excited to see this little lady grow.

Rib Smash Session :: Jace

April 20, 2017

Rib Smash Session – Richmond Hill Photographer

Cake’s for babies he said.

Just kidding. He can’t talk so the real story is my dislike for cake smash sessions and his mom’s desire for something fun to celebrate his 1st birthday produced this little gem of a session.

A little BBQ sauce (ok….ALOT of sauce), some ribs, beans, and some corn makes for a pretty freaking cute ‘cake smash’ session.

Don’t get me wrong, cake smash sessions are adorable, but I see so many of them in my industry that it’s hard to be creative. I’ve decided, several times over, not to offer these but when a friend or really loyal client asks, I just can’t say no. My only rule is we have to do something crazy and different. Something that hasn’t been done 300o times.

So just like that, a ton of ribs from Big Bone BBQ arrived at my front door with a ridiculously cute baby. Forget the ribs I just want to eat him!

Happy 1st Birthday you saucy little man!

Family Session :: McNalley

March 30, 2017

Family Photographer based in North York Ontario

Family Sessions with older kids can go one of two ways. Teens and pre-teens tend to have their minds made up about how uncool taking photos with their parents is. Fair, I was that way at one time. However, this little family was amazing and it shows. One of the images from this session even made me cry!

One of my favourite parts of being a photographer is meeting people and getting to know them. It can be a lonely job when you don’t have any coworkers but I have the most amazing clients which makes up for it. Sometimes, like this one, I feel a connection I can’t explain. Trish reminded me of someone special to me. The sweetness and general adoration for her kids is indescribable. I know everyone loves their kids but for some reason it affected me differently.

Landon :: 6 Months Session

June 9, 2016

6 month milestone photography is bigger than you think. I met Landon when he was just a newborn. He still sort of looks the same but still sort of looks totally different! Kids really do grow fast and I try to stress to my clients how important capturing these moments are. The things they do and learn in just a short time frame are so easy to forget. You think you will remember when they started sitting but the second they can stand that memory gets bumped back. It’s true, I learn the hard way every day!

With that said, these sessions are perfect to capture their little personalities. The 6 month milestone is kind of a big deal. The facial expressions kill me! Gummy smiles, moments of annoyance with us for trying to pose them, and candid laughter of parents. These are the things we don’t alway notice every day let alone capture as a memory for an album or our walls. We all strive for the perfect family photo but if there is anything I have learned since having my daughter is those random photos that you didn’t think were all that great at the moment are actually the ones you look back on and smile at. The ones that captured your family naturally in the moment.

Looking forward to more smiles from this guy in years to come!
