Throughout life, we often encounter the term "investment." We're encouraged to invest in our education, homeownership, career development, stocks and bonds, and various other endeavors. The list could go on indefinitely. However, what's seldom emphasized is the importance of investing in our own happiness, which can be equally, if not more, crucial than all the investments mentioned combined.

Have you ever realized you were different? This summer, I discovered something about myself that changed my life and altered my worldview (literally).  Let me explain. My husband, Phil, and three of our children went on a fun, memorable RV road trip to Halifax. We had a great time and made lots of memories. Of course, I took lots of photos…

Your family has dreamed about this moment for months, and now it's finally here. After waiting so long to meet your sweet baby, the day finally arrived. You’ve gazed in awe, soaking in all ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes, that impossibly cute nose.

As an expecting mama, have you heard, “It goes so fast!” or worse, “Don’t blink, they’ll grow before your eyes”? While there is truth to those statements, it’s not exactly inspiring for a new parent to hear. Yes, bringing home a newborn baby is very busy and sometimes, well, chaotic. There will be moments where you feel incredibly exhausted and…

I don’t think it’s a secret that I just adore the six-month baby milestone sessions. This milestone is so precious because your sweet, snuggly, sleepy newborn is now a chubby, mobile, and smiling baby

Many Niagara families want to celebrate their baby’s first birthday with a cake smash session. These are so much fun to plan and capture. If you think planning your baby’s cake smash session will be a lot of work, I have good news for you. I’d love to share how my full-service photography process handles all the details of this special session for you.

Your Niagara maternity photos should be an experience that you look forward to and not one that creates a million things to do. I hear from many mamas who are stressed over finding what to wear for their portrait session. Not only do they need to find something they can wear, they need to find outfits for their entire family. I’d love to share how…

Once your sweet newborn arrives, the focus tends to be all on the baby. However, as a Niagara newborn photographer and a mom of four, I know exactly how important it is to take care of mom during those first postpartum weeks. My full-service newborn photography process is designed to take really good care of moms while capturing priceless images of your newborn baby and family. 

Can you believe it? Your sweet baby is turning one. This is a milestone worth celebrating! Many parents want to document this special occasion with a first birthday photography session. First birthday portraits are so much fun.

Looking back on my family photos brings me such joy and happy memories. Photos carefully hold our memories for us. I might not remember what I had for dinner last Tuesday, but I’ll never forget my son’s giggle when he was a toddler or the silly songs my daughter would come up with on guitar.

Recent studies have shown that pregnancy is comparable to competing in a high-endurance event for nine months straight. Researchers gathered data on how an athlete’s body reacted to a high-endurance event (like running a marathon), analyzed that next to data on what a  pregnant woman’s body goes through, and found the results strikingly similar.

All I need to create timeless family portraits you’ll love forever is a family willing to let go and have fun. I’d love to explain. As moms, we put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. We compare our family to others we know and see online. You might see someone’s family portrait and think that’s not possible for you. You might believe the myth that some families are just photogenic. Or, like many of my clients with young children, you might worry about how your kids will behave during the session.
