MEET KAREN, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER AT REFLECTIONS

I want you to not only remember these days, but be a part of them, too. 

As a mom of four kids, there are a lot of milestones that I don't remember. I wish I had more tangible memories and photographs from those busy years as a growing family.

Now, I help moms document their family stories through beautiful maternity, newborn, and baby portraits.

THE REFLECTIONS APPROACH

Our portrait sessions together are about more than just the pictures.

Because I understand the challenges (and joys) of motherhood. As a young mother, you already have so much on your plate.

That’s why I plan every detail, from styling to designing your photo albums, making it easy for you to capture these unforgettable moments. I even take care of your hair, makeup, and outfits.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I prioritize creating a personalized and stress-free experience during newborn and maternity photoshoots for my clients across Grimsby and the Niagara Region of Ontario.

    As a mom of four kids myself, I understand the challenges and joys of motherhood. My goal is to capture stunning baby and family portraits and to make you feel relaxed, comfortable, and beautiful throughout the entire process. From planning to final touches, I coordinate everything, so you can simply show up, feel confident, and have fun.

  • I recommend scheduling your maternity photo session around 32 weeks of pregnancy to capture that beautiful baby bump while ensuring you’re still physically comfortable. For newborn photography sessions, it’s best to book as soon as you enter your second trimester to secure your spot on my calendar. Since sleepy newborn sessions are scheduled within the first two weeks after birth, it’s important to plan ahead to ensure availability.

  • During your maternity photography session, my goal is to create a relaxed and comfortable environment where you can showcase your pregnancy glow. I provide styling assistance, including outfit suggestions, ensuring you feel confident and beautiful throughout the maternity photoshoot. Whether you prefer a natural outdoor setting or a cozy indoor photo studio in Grimsby, Ontario, I tailor the session to your preferences to capture authentic and stunning maternity portraits.

  • The safety and comfort of your newborn are my top priorities during your photoshoot. As an experienced newborn photographer in Grimsby and the Niagara Region of Ontario, I prefer taking candid lifestyle photographs that feel natural and unposed. We will schedule newborn sessions when babies are typically sleepiest, and take breaks as needed to feed and soothe them. Plus, my photography studio in Grimsby is equipped with all the necessary props and amenities to create a comfortable and safe environment for your newborn.

  • When you choose me as your professional photographer in Ontario, you don’t have to bring anything. I have all the props and accessories, including blankets, wraps, and outfits, for your newborn photoshoot at my studio. You can rest assured that I will capture beautiful and timeless portraits of your newborn. Just bring baby and yourselves, and I’ll take care of the rest!

  • After your session, I carefully select and edit the best images to present to you during your image reveal appointment, which typically takes place one week after the maternity/newborn photoshoot. Once you’ve selected your favorite portraits and artwork, I handle the ordering and delivery process, ensuring that you receive the photographs quickly. I’ll even install your portraits on your wall for you.
