Take that first breath. Full breath in, full breath out. You are finally here. That heart that beats within your chest is alive. Those lungs that swell and fall with life is vibrant and awake. And today is a new and big canvas. The first of many. So come just as you are, breathing in the newness of this moment and paint today with the colours of hope…

One of the most powerful phrases we can hear and believe is that we are not alone, not even for a moment. There is something so sacred and comforting in that we're not alone. Jennifer, Darryl, Leah and Nolan form a strong, loving family. They're kind, gentle and respectful. I believe a huge part of why they're so close is simply because…

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…

You’re in good hands, little one. I hope you know what it means to be surrounded every single day of your life. I hope you feel the weight of arms around you. The hands that draw you in by family, friends and by heaven. I hope you know the joy and vulnerability of living life with people. I hope you know the courage that comes when you let…

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…

I’ve learned a great deal about pregnancy over the years. How I looked and felt during the nine months I was expecting differed greatly from how I felt before and after. Many of you have shared with me your feelings about this time in your lives too. What remained true for both of us is that we all wanted to ensure we had a keepsake of this…

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…

We hold these unwritten lives within our stomachs. We feel them kick against our bladders. We see them grow in the swelling of our bellies. We find ourselves dreaming of them and of their futures. But yet, there are so many unknowns. We don’t know the details of their faces, which we will one day memorize. We haven't heard the sound…
