If you're searching for photography that feels like a memory and looks like art, you're in the right place.
I specialize in documenting life’s most meaningful moments, from “just married” to “just born,” and everything in between. Whether you're planning your dream wedding, welcoming a new baby, or soaking up the beautiful chaos of family life, I’m here to turn your fleeting moments into lasting art.
With a relaxed, storytelling approach and an eye for honest connection, I create images that feel like your memories—authentic, emotive, and timeless. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just the real stuff: love, laughter, and everything that makes your story yours.
Wherever you are in your journey, I’d be honored to capture it.
Serving families and couples across southern Ontario Canada including Hastings County, Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes and Toronto.
Wedding & Engagement
Love is an extraordinary, your wedding photography should be too.
I know that finding the right photographer can feel overwhelming — but here you are, and I’m so glad our paths have crossed. In a vast ocean of options, something brought you here, and I am happy that it did.
I offer my couples authenticity over perfection, and I believe that a timeless look is always better than a fashionable one. Trends come and go, but style endures — and your wedding photographs should too.
Newborn & Maternity
Expecting your newborn, already arrived or a few months old, there is no wrong time to document your baby with beautiful newborn photography. Ideally in the first 2 weeks is the best time to capture the newborn stage and will typically yield the most opportunities. That being said, many parents find this time in the first two weeks stage challenging. Don't hesitate or miss out on these memories because you missed the 2 week window. Capturing beautiful photos of your baby can be successful at any age. Offering Durham region newborn photography session at home and in your own space. All needed materials are supplied and both family and newborn portraits are welcome. Offering whitby, bowmanville and cobourg newborn photography since 2010.
Family & Milestone
When they are 4 months they start to smile and just want to be able to move and go. Like squishy potatoes that are really showing off their smiles and what will soon if not already become laughter.
At 8 months I think they are at peek cuteness. They are snuggly and big eyed and adorably clumsy. More sleep by now would be nice but they can sit and support themselves upright and connect with you for the most beautiful reactions.
How did a year go bye so quickly you ask? A bit more sleep but walking already and getting into everything. Things are more playful and silly now and getting family photography is candid and always moving. Every funny opportunity of playful laughter to the quiet moments of curiosity. These are beautiful milestones to remember and it is going to be the fastest year of your life.
