My Story, My Why
My passion for lifestyle photography began when I was young, as a way to document our family moves (I'm up to 30 so far) and changing family dynamics (whose family isn't a little complicated). I decided to further pursue my passion, and in 2016, I graduated from the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa (SPAO). I also had the opportunity to teach the Part-Time Photography Darkroom course at SPAO following graduation, while also pursuing various art projects. It wasn't until after I had my second kiddo that I found a way to blend my love of art and photography and apply it to the season of life I'm in.
My style has a storytelling feel, and I focus on who you are as a couple or family, and the things you love doing together. The real, the raw, the messy, and all of the things in-between. I've never been into perfectly posed photos (whatever that means), and dear god if I hear anyone utter 'say cheese,' you can be sure I'm bolting in the opposite direction. At the heart of it, all I want is to bring that feeling of home into the work I create. The feeling that everything feels right and you’re exactly where you should be with the people you love the most.
I'm a mama to two rambunctious toddlers, two chunky cats (they often make an appearance on IG), a lover of early mornings, light in any of its forms, bonfires (I wish I could forever smell like one), and animals I can smother with love. I value moments that are real and vulnerable: the way the light enters your home while the kiddos are still asleep; the energetic screams at a child's birthday party; the way your newborn nuzzles into your chest while the toddler runs circles around you. I specialize in intimate weddings, as well as family, maternity and newborn sessions. This is my jam, my bread and butter, my absolute passion.
I can't wait to create something beautiful with you!
