It’s been TOO LONG but I’m so excited to announce my plans to begin photographing clients again on July 2, 2020. I’ve been busy behind the scenes gathering all the things we’ll need and making it easily accessible. It’s very important to me that we do this safely. Safety is #1 for all of us right now. I'm taking all precautions I can to…

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of those Pinterest-worthy family photo shoots? Typically, the burden of the planning, the shopping, and the getting dressed up all fall on the mama’s shoulders (sound familiar?). But at Reflections of Life, I do things a little differently. I have four sweet little (and not-so-little-anymore)…

I know how difficult it is to wait for the big reveal of images from a recent portrait session. You and your family looked and felt so wonderful and you not-so-secretly want to do it again soon. I don’t want to keep you waiting in suspense, so I plan for us to meet again in the studio one week after your session. We will look at the images of your gorgeous…

Imagine snuggling up with your little ones on the couch and telling them stories about how they used to kick, kick, kick so hard in your tummy. They giggle and demand to see pictures of what you looked like with their little bodies tucked safely inside. So you grab your old phone and charge it up, hoping you can still load your selfies. In the…

You are beautiful and radiant as you carry a special little one into the world. I want you to feel special and cared for, just like how you pour into others. My studio wardrobe is filled with elegant and timeless tops and dresses in a variety of sizes and fits that will make you feel comfortable and confident. I work closely with a handful of my preferred local…

Mama, you are nurturing, loving, and kind. You’re there every step of the way, watching your little ones grow. Some parts will be difficult, but others will be miraculous. You’re proud of your little ones and want nothing but the best for them. You’re a primary caretaker. You’re loving and caring for your babies every day, all day. Mothers are so…

Safety is #1 for all of us right now. I'm taking all precautions I can to maintain a sterile environment at my studio so that my littlest clients and their families are protected. Here are the health and safety measures that I'm following in the studio to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Before each session, I'll regularly monitor my temperature. I ask that…

You are beautiful and radiant as you carry a special little one into the world. You feel their kicks, you know when they are restless and you’ve heard the sound of their heartbeat. Let’s capture this season for how beautiful, tender and exciting it is. Here are some reasons you should go for it! Let your child know how loved they were, even before they…

What's it like being a parent right now? It’s harder than ever. But don’t forget about grace, mama. Grace is extravagant favour we're given though we did nothing to deserve it. And this extravagant grace has such a way of holding us close. Grabbing us from the crazy of the day and holding us still. These days we're sitting at home, unable to travel…

Sometimes I like to look through old photographs. And not digital ones, but physical ones. Ones that I can hold in my hand running my thumb over memories and faces. Where I can feel torn corners and flip it over to read notes in cursive writing of names and places and ages. It’s almost like I am reading love letters from the years that have…

I know you’re out there comparing yourself to the other moms. I know you’re checking out how parents are making this at-home, all day, every day thing work during the pandemic. I know this because I’m doing it too. Depending on the ages and stages of your child, special needs and preferences, there are challenges. And…

With the government recommendations for social distancing, we can feel so alone. It’s been just over a week for our family without visiting a family member or friend, but it feels like it’s been longer. Even with all the internet capabilities, I still feel lonely.
