“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.”

Hello...is it me you're looking for?


When you choose to work with me, you are not just choosing a photographer, you are choosing someone who is interested in your life; the life you share with your loved ones and the life you live, in the spaces you feel most comfortable in.


When you choose to work with me, you are choosing someone who will learn your kids' favourite songs, tell stories and be a big silly duffer just to engage them in the session and if all else fails, you are choosing someone who will go with the flow and work with what your kids want to do at the time.  


When you choose to work with me, you are choosing a mama and a teacher. You are choosing someone who has been where you are and sees you as you are now. In all the beautiful chaos that this season brings, when you choose to work with me, you are choosing someone that will hold space for your emotions and those of your kiddos.


Above all else, when you choose me as your photographer, you choose warmth, love and a whole lot of silliness and I absolutely adore you for it.
