Violet Everly’s heart is pure and her story unwritten. The possibilities for her life are endless and exciting. Will she have the hands for helping others and an artistic soul? As the story unfolds it all begins with this. These moments. These rare moments of calm and quiet. Those squishy cheeks and full lips are so sweet, and with three older…

As parents, some days are really hard. I remember the feeling of being in survival mode when my kids were really young, with too much to do and not enough time to do it in. The days seemed so long, but those moments are all forgotten the moment your child has one of those “firsts”. You know the ones, the first word, the first step, the first…

Newborn perfection…there is nothing like it. Tiny toes, tiny hands, plump little lips, sleepy faces and of course that downy hair. In most lives, these days are photographed the most, and parents realize how quickly they’ll change and want to preserve these images forever. By photographing babies during their first 7-14 of life, I’m able to document…

If possible, it’s best if we can schedule your newborn session before your baby’s birth to ensure a spot in my calendar. Please connect with me during your first or second trimester and I’ll pencil you in. Once your baby arrives, send me an email and we’ll confirm the date. If your newborn is already in your arms, don’t fret; it’s not too late…

You are expecting a new baby! You're experiencing the anticipation of his or her arrival. Dreaming up what he or she will look like. Wondering how small their little feet will be. Wondering what the clasp of their little fingers around yours will feel like. What it will do to your heart to hold them in your arms for the first time…

Capturing your newborn in my studio is an honour for me. Your brand new baby is experiencing the sights and sounds of the world for the first time. They’re bringing their unique beauty and smile. Their future is ahead of them full of such purpose and potential. And you're dreaming of who and what they’ll be one day. During your session…

Remember when you were a kid and if you could just be holding her hand, be close to her, meet her eyes, hear her voice, her laugh. And you knew that it was okay, you knew that you were safe. There was this way in which you knew she was your warmth, your comfort, your source, your protector, and forever on your side. And I can think of the…

Newborn photography makes me so happy. Spending time with families during milestones like these brings a HUGE smile to my face. What are the things that make you happy? Who are the people who bring you joy? Make a list of those things and then fill your life with as much of it as possible. True joy, true happiness; the kind that starts…

Today I received a call from a lovely mama of a 7 day old little one.  She just had her baby last week and I’m unable to accommodate her session here in the studio. It’s so sad when this happens. Whether I can fit a newborn in on short notice is different every day. Sometimes babies arrive early and sometimes late. I encourage you to…

I’m a newborn and family photographer, using natural light during my sessions here in the studio and on location.  That means during your session there are no light stands, no waiting between shutter clicks, just you and your newborn in a room full of beautiful light.  There are a handful of reasons I choose to work with natural light…

Little one, you are so tiny but so perfect. I have never seen anything more amazing than you. You are so much joy cramped into the tiniest, little human. As soon as you came into this world, I made sure you had ten fingers and ten toes. Now that you're growing more and more every day, I want to freeze this moment. This moment right here…

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…
