This at-home wedding was hands-down one of the sweetest days I’ve ever witnessed. Pandemic weddings are hard - between ever changing rules on gathering, venues closing and keeping everyone safe. These two chose the comfort of their living room with only close family to be married, and it was absolutely perfect! A few special spots near the Avon River were the perfect backdrop for their wedding portraits; Gallery Stratford, Tom Patterson Island and the brand new Tom Patterson Theatre to name a few. Another gorgeous October wedding for the books!

I love a sunny session as much as the next photographer, but something about stormy weather just adds to a shoot! This may have set a new record for high speed photography as we wanted to beat the incoming thunderstorm - but the running around made it even more fun! That’s why we’re hesitant to reschedule for weather, this unpredictable day gave us the 20 minutes we needed complete with a moody sky. Never a dull moment at Shakespeare Pond!

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.

I know I say in every blog post that the location is my favourite, but I mean it this time. The West Perth Wetlands are my absolute go-to for any type of session! When the wildflower fields are in full bloom, there’s no beating that as a backdrop while the sun sets. Who knew such a gem was hiding in Mitchell, Ontario? While I may be biased, I think this sunset was one of the best we saw in September - my favourite time of year for couples sessions!

Golden hour doesn’t get much better than this! These two long-distance lovers responded to a model call in the summer and I made it my mission to find them an incredible location - these back roads in St. Mary’s made for the perfect backdrop. Wildwood Conservation Area is one of my favourite locations in the area, and it sure did not disappoint! We toughed out the mosquitos and rogue branches in the summer sun, but these photos speak for themselves!

Documenting growing families is one of the best parts of this job! I had the pleasure of her older brother being my first ever newborn client, but this little lady stole the show today. In-home newborn sessions are some of my favourites; they’re comfortable for everyone involved and go at a much slower pace. No rushing out the door with all your baby gear, no packing up siblings and you have everything you need handy for feeding breaks or outfit changes! Plus, what’s better than documenting the start of a new journey in the place where it’s happening - cozying up on the couch or laying in bed with your newborn instead of stiff posing and trying to keep them asleep.
