THE BLOG
Support, stories, and more for your motherhood journey.
Hey there! Welcome to our blog, your cozy corner where we dive into all things family, newborn, maternity, and baby photography. Being an experienced professional photographer in Ontario, I share practical tips, insights, and plenty of inspiration tailored for expecting mothers, new moms, and parents of Niagara Falls, Grimsby, and nearby areas. But wait, there’s more! My blog is not just about photography – it’s all about building a supportive community for new moms and parents, offering resources, encouragement, and a whole lot of virtual hugs. So grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and join us on this beautiful journey of family and community.
Loved Is Who You Are
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
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…
Never Forget
Never forget the feeling…the feeling of fire that roared through your heart when you found out you were expecting. Never forget the feeling of pure joy that soared across your husband’s face when you whispered it to him, or the feeling of bliss when you felt her kick for the very first time. Never forget the feeling of anticipation as you prepared…
Smile Every Time You Enter The Room
Capturing your beauty and your love for one another is my honour. Whether we work together in a maternity, newborn or family shoot, I believe in real people and natural moments. As we work together, we'll create you images that celebrate your beauty and your connection with one another. That celebration starts in my studio and…
Your Bright Smile is Contagious
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 Makes Your Portrait Experience Here So Different?
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…
Sing And Dance Without A Care In The World
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...
The Honour Of Being Your Home
One of the most beautiful gifts I have ever been given is the honour of being your home. For nine months, I got to be your home. I got to be the place that you snuggled into and were safe. I got to protect you from all of the elements of life and cover you in every single way. I got to feel you grow…
Do You Know How Valuable You Are?
Before you arrived, we prayed for you. Before we saw you for the first time, we felt we already knew you closely. With every movement of your heart and every breath in your lungs, your life has value.
And it’s so funny because before you, we had everything we needed. Or we thought we did. But…
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…
