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.
You Are Beautiful
And the question on your lips over time might be, “But what am I? But who am I?” Baby, all of you can be contained in one word. You are beautiful. You are beautiful in every single way. You are beautiful in your coming and in your going. You are beautiful as you rest and as you play. You are beautiful in your giggle and your curious eyes…
Mama, You Are My Lullaby
Sometimes I hear your voice and I find my heartbeat slow down and I think they call that peace. And sometimes I listen to the sound of your heartbeat thumping in your very chest and it gives me rest. And when you sing to me and tell me your stories, it is like a love washing over me reminding me that I belong. That I am not here just…
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…
You Are A Dream Come True
When I officially found out you were a boy, I already knew. I could tell by the way you moved in my belly just so, sometimes it was almost like you just jumped. In a way I cannot explain, it was like I already knew you. Like I had met you before, maybe in my dreams, maybe in heaven. Like I had already held you…
This Is What Children Can Teach You
There’s so much we can learn from children. Kids can be our biggest teachers if we have enough humility just to say yes. As much as we know all that we know through life experience, there are almost some things it would be good to unlearn. There are some things we know, that it would almost be better if…
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…
Simplicity And Wonder
You know how you have those moments where you suddenly start to think about what life was like as a kid. Maybe something pulls you back into that places like a smell or a song or maybe you see yourself in your own children and you remember…
Collecting Memories
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…
