Mothers are typically the ones behind the camera. They are always capturing the special moments, instead of being involved in them. The importance of having these memories to look back on is essential, because life is too short. Before you know it, your kids will be having their own, and you will want those photos to be able to share with them…

The way the light kisses your face is so pure and sweet. The way you follow my direction in the studio and look into the camera just so. All I can do is wonder what the world has in store for you, little man. Such wonderful things. You are so small and pure, and look up to everything in the world with such curiosity. You have such a bright…

I want to take a moment today to remind you of something deeply important. If you need some time to read this, find a quiet place and take the two minutes you'll need to soak in every word, mama. Because this is for you. You've been given a gift. It is grace for the days when you shrug your shoulders. Grace for when your heart feels…

I get a lot of questions about how things work once you’ve booked a session, so I’ve decided to do a blog post on it so you can get a better idea of what goes on behind the scenes here at Reflections of Life. Knowing when your photographer is going to provide you with images or portraits is an important part of the process.  I…

Breathe in deep today. You are loved. Let all the stresses of the day work their way out as you breathe in the reality that you are loved by all of heaven. I’m talking to all the mamas, all the littles, all the husbands, all of you. Your life is valuable. It matters. It counts. You are seen in your rising and in your falling. No matter how fast you run, you’ll never…

Sometimes I wonder, when you look at me what you see? And when you close your eyes, what it is that you dream about? I wonder what it is that you’re seeing and what is making you smile as you sleep. I wonder about those things that have you bothered and all those things that pull you out of your slumber. Baby, I wonder what it is that you…

When I get to work with parents, a family or siblings to capture images of them, the first and my favourite thing to look for is their connection. It is connection that not only makes an image stand out, but it is also is the very substance of our lives. Without connection, we are left hungry and wanting, but with connection, we are left satisfied and fulfilled…

Your smile lights up a room. That joy that bubbles out of you when you find something simply hilarious is contagious. The way your lips turn upwards when you meet someone new is beautiful. And how you tilt your head just slightly when you are doing something you love like you’re carrying sunbeams in your cheeks is stunning. I love the way you…

What an amazing 2018! A very special THANK YOU to all of the amazing people who trust me with their family photography, documenting their children as they grow. Here's a little slideshow of our best images from this year, can't wait to make more memories in 2019! We’ve had a TON of super happy clients this year, and you’ll find their…

When I went to visit Jessica and Peter before their family session they told me a few things that opened my eyes. They loved the time we spent photographing, and the fact that we didn’t rush. Before you arrive at the studio, I’m spending time making it as comfortable as it can be. I’ll often ask you what music your kids love to hear so that I…

It doesn't matter if you're good, bad, or really bad. Don't do it for anyone except for you. Sing off key and dance like nobody's watching. Sing in the car. Sing in the shower. Sing at the top of your lungs. Dance in the living room. Dance at a restaurant. Dance like you've never even heard music before...

Collecting Memories. There is this beautiful thing about memories in that we each have our own. That you and I could have very different memories about things that have happened and experiences we have known. Because memories are so filled with emotion…
