As a family photographer, I always strive to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere during sessions. I find that this helps families feel comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in genuine and heartwarming photos. This session was no exception - they laughed, played, and simply enjoyed being together, and I was able to capture some truly authentic moments.

The West Perth Wetlands never disappoints with those September sunsets! This gorgeous family was so much fun to work with and the kids just had a blast running around the pond. It’s always such an honour to document families and little ones throughout the years - photos are often something that gets left on the back burner (they’re a bit of a pain to plan, I know!) but it’s so worth it to look back on such a precious time in your lives. Shelby and Jordan are a Stratford-local power couple, running multiple businesses and doing so much for the community!

This lovely bunch has been in front of my camera a few times now! One of my favourite parts of the job will always be witnessing families grow and little ones getting older year after year. With stunning small towns in the area, you don’t have to look far for some beautiful scenery. Kin Park in St. Marys has it all, between the river and the wildlife it provides a similar location to The Flats with a little bit more privacy.

Another year of shivering down, we managed to (mostly) avoid the rain and document some Christmas spirit! Our lovely hosts, the Kroes Family, provided the perfect backdrop complete with a bonfire. Thank you so much to everyone who came out this year, we’ll be back again next winter for more festive fun! Check out Kroes Christmas Trees, just outside of Stratford for your next family tree.

While these seem like a lifetime ago, I thought they deserved a permanent spot on the blog. Our first Christmas Mini day, and our first pandemic Christmas no less. This chilly day was filled with laughter, shivering and so much sanitizing but it turned out better than I ever could have imagined! Thank you to Happy Rock Christmas Tree Farm for hosting myself and my lovely clients - if you’re in the London or Belmont area it’s a wonderful short drive to pick out a tree this holiday season.
