Who:
“Wife. Mother. Photographer. Lover of Boston Terriers and the perfect latte.” That’s what I always put on those little social media bios. It pretty much sums me up! But, I’d love for us to get to know each other a little better. I was born and raised in a small town in South-Western Ontario, and I moved to the GTA almost 20 years ago. I met my amazing husband just a few years later, and now we live just outside of Toronto, in Whitby, Ontario, with our spunky little son and our loving Boston Terrier. I think of myself as not just a photographer, but a memory maker. You’ll find me rekindling my love affair with books, shopping at as many local vendor fairs and farmers markets as I can, and dreaming about house and home decorating!

I’ve been photographing families and newborns for nearly 10 years now. I have earned my certification as a Qualified Newborn Photographer, which includes a component in newborn safety, through Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International (APNPI), an association dedicated to safety and excellence in newborn photography. It’s important to me to safely capture amazing photos of your newborn and/or family and deliver them to you in a way that you will cherish them for life. I want you to proudly display these images in your home, see your photos every day, and create a sense of pride and belonging in your children.

Why:
I want to share a little story about why photography is so important to me. When I was a teen, I lost my dad to cancer. In those final weeks with him, my sister and I put together a photo album of all of our favourite photos from our childhood. We took it to the hospital and sat with him for hours reminiscing about all the good times, all of the memories those photos held for us. Sitting with my dad and talking about these times, pouring over these photos, is one of my fondest memories of the final days with him. Today, this photo album is the most important thing I own, along with new photos that document my life.

So tell me, who do you love? Do you have photos together? Recent photos together? Let’s get together and document the newborn stage of your new baby so the details are never forgotten, or future milestones as your family grows and ages. Let me create these images for you to be able to reminisce about this perfect time in your family life. Let’s create modern and beautiful pieces to display in your home and heart for many years to come.
