GTA Family Photographer – Flower farm session

These are a few of my favourite things! Literally my bff and her family, the flower farm and a sunset. I could spend every night like this!

Country Cut Flowers is a hidden gem in York Region and this family made the trip all the way from the GTA (and made it on time) to capture some of the sweetest photos. As with every session, I want to ensue my families have images they want to blow up for their walls or print in albums. How stunning will these be in a collage on their living room walls?!

This summer our families went camping at the Pinery. If you know me, even just a little, you know that is not my jam. I wear 7 layers of bug spray to each session, freak out every time a critter rustles in the bushes and basically am a girly girl. I even stand on a stool in the long grass incase something slithers by.  As much as it isn’t for me, my kids love it (and my husband – but I don’t do it for him). It was so nice to spend more time with these guys. It was amusing to see how much their kids are just like their parents. Mini versions. I know our kids are like us, I laugh several times daily when they do something and it’s ‘SOOOO Me’ or ‘totally’ my husband. But to see mini versions of my bff and her husband was well worth the mosquitos and racoons.  It’s crazy to think back to when we met and where we are now in our lives. My heart is so happy to see our kids play together and being able to capture these gorgeous images for them is just a small gesture for all the years of friendship.

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!

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!

Michelle and Mike :: 10 Years

July 3, 2016

Family photography isn’t what it used to be.  You don’t need an occasion to have a session.  There doesn’t have to be a landmark in your lives. You can capture memories because you want to.  Crazy notion these days…because you want to.

Michelle and Mike happen to be celebrating 10 years together but simply wanted some updated photos of their family.  I love when people just want to celebrate being in love.  No agenda or need to capture anything other than who they are at that moment. I wish more people did this.  You don’t need children or fancy events in order to have professional photography.  You can do it just because you want to.  We captured some insanely stunning images and to be honest, I’m jealous.  I want some of these of my family.  Wish selfies with my camera were easier lol.  I have a remote but trying to get a small child and dog to look at it from afar is next to impossible. Probably impossible but I’m trying to stay positive.

When I initially received their email and they said they saw my bucket list and wanted to include Roxy, their fur baby, I couldn’t have been happier.  I love pets even though they don’t always cooperate.  They just add something extra to the session that makes the final images that much more sweet.  Roxy nailed it though.  She’s definitely a keeper!

Newborn :: Jace

April 28, 2016

I said bring me all your newborn babies…… and poof they appear.

There is that moment your client tells you they love pirates. The following moment your head starts spinning because you love them too!  It makes me happy when people have ideas but trust my creativity to make it awesome.  This session was no excuse.  I was born for this.  Actually, I was born on talk like a pirate day so it was only fitting.

Then there’s that moment you realize you have the perfect vendor (Flirty Bambini) to make a pirate costume for a newborn.  Seriously can’t believe it all came together and so easy.  Baby Pirates are all sorts of amazing and this little guy nailed it!!!

So excited to have met this sweet family and can’t wait to see baby Jace grow!

Prsa Family

November 19, 2013

Fall family photography never crossed my mind. It wasn’t until this very session that I realized how truly beautiful the leaves are and how lucky we are to have 4 seasons. Although I do hate the snow.  The Prsa family is one of my favourite to shoot.  Not just because they are good friends or have the worlds cutest curly haired baby, but they don’t take a bad picture.  They know exactly what to do in from of the camera and do it without me prompting.  Love when that happens.  So beautiful leaves, family and sunshine made this session beyond beautiful.  I have also come to realize how much I love living in Richmond Hill. So many places to take stunning photos and it’s in part to it not being fully developed into a city. Let’s hope it stays that way!
