Joyfully Living
You know that moment when you look at someone and instantly feel joy? It is almost like you can feel your heart swelling and melting and soaring all at once. You are captivated, you are in love, you are moved. Maybe for you, you’ve known that when you’ve looked at that elderly woman who always…
Everything About You
Everything about you is wonderful. You are perfectly made, perfectly framed, perfectly put together. The way your eyes gush with being captivated. The clasp of your little fingers around my own. The rising and falling of your chest as you breathe. The slight grin of your lips before the giggle we know…
Connection - Why It's So Important
I've decided it's really important for me to talk more about connection with you guys. If you're anything like me, you're struggling every day finding calm during life with kids. Trying to get them out the door on time in the morning without rushing, encouraging them to relax in the evening for stories, hugs and…
Kindness In Your Eyes
Have you ever seen kindness living in someone’s eyes? It is almost like a subtle flame inviting you to know and trust that there is goodness in the everyday. There is a very warmth about them that sets your heart at ease and sometimes when your eyes meet with their own, it is like you can swim in this…
The Importance of Being IN Your Photographs
Having yourself in your photographs is super important, but there's a difference between being in them and being present in them. Are you in your family photographs just for the sake of having your face seen? Or are you truly IN them? Are you witnessing every perfect interaction…
Why Are Older Brothers & Sisters So Important?
Being a big brother or sister isn’t just about age or doing things in a certain order or at certain times. Being a sibling is bigger than numbers and bigger than dates. It's a bond that starts from the very first breath. It is seeing who can run faster, jump higher, talk louder. It is making one another laugh so hard…
Choose Legacy
We all have things that we cover our walls with. Maybe it is paintings that make us swoon, pictures of our loved ones or words that remind us of what we want for our future. And the most amazing thing that we get to fill our walls with are images captured when we’ve spent time with the ones we love the most…
Mamas Are The Most Genuine Memory Keepers
I had a conversation this past week with a mother of three about photography. She received a gorgeous new camera for Christmas from her husband (obviously, he's a keeper!) and was worried about learning how to use it. Not just that though, she finally had the tools she needed to document her child's life...
It's Always Been Your Eyes
It is your eyes. Beautiful girl, it has always been your eyes. The first time I saw your eyes, I was in love. They laid you upon my chest and your eyes met with my own and they pierced my soul. You were the gift that had been growing inside of me. You were the gift whose kicks I felt against my…

Meaningful Family Photos I Guarantee You'll Love
I’ve been a photographer since 2005. Throughout my journey, I have learned and enjoyed many different photographic styles. One of my favourite things is documenting families as they spend time loving each other. There's something about the connection between people that I can't stop…
Happiness Is In the Form of Grandmas
Happiness can come in many shapes and sizes. Happiness may be in the form of freshly baked cookies. Happiness may be in the form of the sun shining down so heavily or your big, fluffy mutt of a dog. It may be in the form of leaves on a tree in the middle of autumn. For me, though, happiness is in the form of…
