As a photographer, working alongside your clients milestones is one of the most incredible experiences. The experience of seeing the changes in love strengthen and how much each of my clients grow within their family life, not only outwardly but also inwardly is wonderful. How their children enhance their life experiences by creating an immense bond within the family circle they are a part of always moves me beyond what words can articluate. This is the very reason I love my

A bundle of cuteness arrived in the Sapp home, healthy, safely and in loving care. This little guy was absolutely charming. What a wonderful newborn session. Welcome to our world Gabriel. Thank you Jacquelyn and Anthony for welcoming me into your home. It was a sincere pleasure capturing these moments in time for you and your family.

What an incredible photo session!!! This family was an absolute joy to capture and each person had so much to share with me. 40 years of marriage and so much history. I felt that in the small window of time that I had with this family I could see the years of love, companionship, hardships, tender moments and the beauty of raising 4 daughters, each of them adding so much of themselves to the complete picture. Each member of this family had so much charisma within their own in

Awaiting this new arrival has been one of the most exciting times I've experienced. Anthony and Jacquelyn, a couple who share a deep friendship and a love that ignites a room await their first baby. I was welcomed into their home, with much cheer, nervous excitment and a sincere calm prescence. The photos from this session are so very sweet and Momma and Papa look so beautiful. I can hardly wait to meet their first baby. An exciting time. An honour to be a part of this new mi

Entering a home that is filled with anticipation and sheer excitement is one of my favourite things to do. As a photographer I get to walk into many homes that are filled with a ton of magic. Upon entering Ian, Annie and Norah's lives, I immediately felt welcomed. The magic that steers their love is deep, pure and full of so much ease. It was simply a beautiful pregnancy photo session. I truly love all of the images I captured from their pregnancy session with me. These photo

Time is a ture treasure. Capturing moments for myself, my family, my friends and my clients always leaves me feeling extremely satisfied because I know when they look back on their photographs, such as I do with my own photos I can hardly believe how much time has passed and how much my children have changed. Each time my family, friends and clients see me they always mention how grateful they are that I took photos for them, and how much they love my work. It makes me feel

Since the development of my new site I have lost my online photojournal archive from my past sessions. I have opened up my vault and have found so many treasures. One of which is a true gem, Hazel Ruby and her family. The moment I met Hazel within her Mother's belly still growing, I could feel all the love that surrounded her and the nervous anticipation she would soon ease once she entered the outside world. Meeting both of her parents, photographing them pregnant, and simpl

Editing these images brought back the exact same feelings I had during the entire process while capturing these photos at different times of Everly's development. I am so privileged to have had the opportunity to be so close to this family during this beautiful journey. These photos are only a few of some very moving images. Thank you. And, welcome Everly. #pregnancy #birth #photography #newborn #family #baby #love #photo

Mark and Jess, awaiting their first baby. These two people will be the greatest parents. I have known them for a very long time and watching them grow and change together in love has been a true gift. Our family will be so blessed to not only witness the both of them raise their family, but we get to know a very special person that is their child, and our soon to be niece. Thank you for thinking of me for this photo session. #baby #pregnancy #photo #photography #family #love
