YOU ASKED FOR IT. WE LISTENED. INTRODUCING THE ESSENTIAL SERIES!
The Essential Series - exciting, dynamic and a more condensed version of our signature portrait sessions. Same level of quality, personalized attention and award winning imagery that defines our brand but for a fraction of the cost. This series was developed to answer a call for those who wish to experience a taste of our photography, renowned creativity, excellence & service but with more practicality, honouring busy schedules and smaller budgets. Now you can experience the same authentic art, timeless aesthetic and honour the moments and people you love the most, with less fuss.
While our full sessions embody a deeply collaborative and transformative process, we understand that those sessions may not be the right fit for everyone. Experience yourself and your loved ones through our lens, convey the essence of your individuality and personality in a more streamlined format and walk away with legacy artwork worthy of being remembered.
Book a session to document anything your heart desires.
MOTHERHOOD MEMOIRS
Mothers are inspiring, strong, dynamic, resilient and have endless reserves of love to give to others. They sacrifice and juggle so many aspects daily and end up giving up many parts of themselves and their identity after having a family. They are also often the memory makers and story-keepers of their families, yet all too often left out of the frame in those very stories.
Just in time for Mother’s Day we wanted to design an experience that transcends the typical and the expected. We believe that every mother has an unexpressed desire to be taken care of once in a while, to feel seen, beautiful and to exist in timeless portraits that she truly loves.
Celebrate your motherhood journey and relationship with your children, your own mother or anyone in your life who has exemplified the crucial role, support, guidance of a “mother" to you.
Gift a session of award winning photography to inspiring and courageous mothers you know! However, and whomever you decide to celebrate, just take the time to show that you care.
LESS “CHEESE”. MORE SOUL.
CHILDREN PORTRAITS WITH HEART
That mischievous smile, the pre-teen assurance, the toothless grin, full hearted laugh, the reserved glance, the chubby cheeks and everything in between. Your children are more than a rigid collection of forced, insincere smiles and dated school snapshots that portray nothing about who they are or what makes them unique. We believe in portraits that deliver personality, creativity, modern flair yet a timeless aesthetic. We believe in less cheese and more soul. Document your child’s true nature and raw spirit, their individuality and character. Those are the things that are worth remembering. Our speciality is capturing nuanses and beauty in fast, adaptive and creative ways and creating artwork that speaks to all the fleeting years and memories which pass much too quickly.
Both you and your child have worked hard to get here. Take the time to remember the journey and mark the accomplishments in a meaningful way! Our highschool grad sessions are a personal and meaningful way to celebrate the journey, perseverance and all the lessons learned along the way. Mark your child’s graduation and transition from one stage of life to another with modern yet timeless portraits and a fun experience that put the school images to shame. From custom coffee table books, to matted prints and graduation announcements we have a collection of beautiful, state of the art keepsakes that inspire.
*Please keep in mind that printed products are delivered 4-6 weeks after image selection so please plan accordingly
DOCUMENT HIGHSHOOL GRADUATION
IN STYLE & With Meaning

Thank you for the compliment but I am proud to say that I am passionate about photographing everyday people.
The women, men, children you see in these galleries are real people in your community. They are people just like you who shared similar insecurities or reservations yet decided to take a leap. I have over 12 years of experience and specialize in conveying perosnality, character and beauty in everyone I photograph. Observation, meticulous attention to detail, empathy and building trust are my super powers. By utilizing light strategically, coordinating sets and styling for a cohesive look, through thoughtful directing I am able to capture genuine and honest expressions. Trust me when I say I have you covered, you are asked to simply trust the process, be present, and enjoy yourself.
