One of my favourite parts of being a family photographer is getting to observe how people display their affection differently. Some people are more open, enjoy more contact and are happy to get up close and personal. Others you can see it more in a glance or smaller contacts like a hand on the back. Either way, I have never left a session questioning the love between a family. During my family sessions I try to get a feel for how people display their own affection for one another and capture it as naturally as I can. Of course I give my clients directions and lightly pose them, but once those poses start to “fall out” as I say, that is where you see natural body movements and interactions that are the true testaments of their love.

I met Heather & Craig out in Mitchell’s Bay for their family session in the Spring. Brodie was just about to turn one and Heather was heading back to work soon, so they wanted to document their family before the big transition began. They were so much fun to work with and very obviously happy to be spending time together, as evident in their images! Thanks again Craig & Heather!

In home sessions are generally my favourite. You don’t need to have a perfectly designed space by any means, but Megan and Mike’s style is so much fun it was awesome to photograph them in their home (anytime you want to come help me out Meg, I will provide the wine!). The wall colours and decor were the perfect backdrop for their in home family session. They were blessed with Sullivan in the Spring and miss Evie is the best big sister. She was so helpful with everything and so eager to hold Sully. I just love seeing those little bonds forming right away.

Thank you so much Burnett family for inviting me into your beautiful space! Until next time…

I love when families ask me to photograph them at a special time – sometimes it is a birthday or anniversary, but with the Crowell’s they were celebrating a number of changes in their family that they wanted to remember. Not only was their son officially taking over the family business, but he and his wife were also building a home where their grandparents house had stood for many years. It was so fun to be there for the “handing off” of the greenhouse (an excellent location for photos, by the way!) – we had a lot of laughs as they shared some stories. Thank you Crowell’s for inviting me to your home and jumping right into this session – your hearts were in it and is shows! Families that aren’t afraid to show their love for each other are my kind of people. Thank you for trusting me with this special time.

Check out Crowell’s Greenhouses on Facebook! I love being able to use this medium to support family-owned small town businesses, and their greenhouse in Bothwell is no exception.

Sometimes at sessions moms get anxious about how their toddler is behaving and whether they are going to get any good images. I am here today to assure you that even the busiest, sassiest or most tired toddlers will be just fine at your session. The beauty of lifestyle photography is finding those moments between poses, or instead of poses! When toddlers are adjusting to a new baby, things are bound to get a little questionable, but don’t worry about how it will photograph. Mama, just relax and let me do the hard work!

Now, I am not saying this because this family was difficult – because they weren’t! I just know that Jess was apprehensive about how both kids were and whether there would be any good images that resulted from the session. I have to say that 90% of my clients feel this way about their session no matter the age of the kids! Need any more proof? Those real moments between poses are where the best shots come from, so just relax and do your parenting thing! I’ve got this!

Meg is from Wallaceburg and Cam is from New Zealand, where they now live with their completely adorable daughter. Naturally when they visit home, they want to document it! On New Years Day we went out to this beautiful farm and froze our buns off for the quickest extended family session I have ever done! But Tillie was an absolute gem and we did our best to keep her warm and entertained (baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo on repeat!!). I mean, seriously. Those cheeks are what dreams are made of!

Meg and Cam are getting married in Banff this fall and I am so stoked to have been asked to be there! Stay tuned for that amazingness!

This session was my first time photographing Lyndsay & Ryan and it is always so fun to get to know people a little bit better. We have known each other since high school, but I always feel like I forge a better connection with people through this medium. I get to be a little goofy and ask some fun, yet personal questions and share stories about my kids. Now Lyndsay and I work together and she is always there for a good laugh or sarcastic comment – my kind of girl! I can’t wait to meet up with these guys again this fall to update their pictures!

Matt and Tara decided to get some family shots done as part of an extended family session. As always, we had so much fun. They are both such hands-on and energetic parents, there was no shortage of genuine smiles or giggles here! Thanks so much Matt & Tara for always supporting me and allowing me a small glimpse into your beautiful life together!
