Dear first time Mama-to-be, I’m writing this to you not only as a friend, but as a woman who has been there. I see you there. On the days when you think you can’t possibly be this lucky. To feel the life within and the instant, overwhelming, all-consuming love that comes with it. I see […]

A few weeks ago we loaded up the kids (along with 2 million snacks, road bingo cards, the ipad, the neck pillows and more children’s music than I’d like to admit) and hit the road for a family adventure. Road trips aren’t really my thing (says the girl who has to pee every 30 minutes), […]

Three years ago, when I first started doing sessions for other families it was something fun to do that was able to help my family by bringing in a bit of extra income. I was invested in the images and was so thankful for my clients, but it ended there. The beauty of being human though, […]

If you’re family is anything like mine, snacks are important. (Because, you know, for a 2 year old, snacks are CRITICAL!) I find I always need snacks to occupy the kids in the car, to pack in lunches or to eat as a quick breakfast. These granola bars are fast and easy to make and […]

Photographing Saturday mornings at home never gets old. It’s like the whole family has a collective chance to breathe easy and relax after a busy week. It also happens to be one of my favourite times with my own family, so when I’m able to capture it in stills for another family, I already know […]

The debate between my husband and me goes something like this…. Him: “How do you feel about looking at camping trailers this year?” Me: “So. Much. Work.” Him: “The girls are getting older, it won’t be that bad.” Me: “Maybe next year, when we don’t need to have an eye on them every second and have […]

The text message read, “The house looks like someone came trough and just ran their arm around the counter to knock stuff off all over the house”. It was from me to my husband, at about 4:30 pm on the 5th day of his shift set. I can always tell when we are on the last […]

Do you ever wish kids clothes came in adult sizes? I do! Plus, kids really are able to pull off most trends with such ease, aren’t they? Before every family photo session I chat with Mom about what to wear. I’m not one for too many rules – especially during a photo session; my general […]

“This session is important to me because it’s how I envisioned nursing my children before I even had them! It’s a dream becoming a reality.” Those are the words that came into my email from Chelsey when she contacted me about a breastfeeding photo session. I knew immediately this was going to be a pretty amazing […]

Today’s post is one for photographers who are comfortable shooting in manual mode. One of my biggest ‘AHA’ moments when I was first starting in photography was how to manipulate light to make the shadows work to my advantage. I now manipulate shadows as a framing technique, to add mood, to add visual interest and […]
