These two cool cats are about to elope out west, but I was lucky enough to be chosen to capture their engagement session and upcoming reception here at home in Chatham-Kent. Paige and Curtis chose Mitchell’s Bay, Ontario as the backdrop for their engagement session. And although we didn’t get much of the sunset we’d […]

This birthday girl has a big personality, a lot of energy, and a love for strawberries! So, naturally, Mom had to go with a berry theme for her first birthday shoot and you can bet I was all too excited to help plan, coordinate and capture it all! We had a lot of fun throughout […]

You might remember these two from their lavender field engagement session in Essex County last summer. Anita and Steven have known each other since they were just 12 years old.

This handsome little dude, who also happens to be my great nephew, came to see me for his 6-month milestone session and I could not resist the opportunity to get him in that bunny bonnet! How cute is he?!?! This was so much fun! I absolutely love sitter sessions and I cannot wait to capture […]

Erica and Phillip were so much fun to photograph! They were full of laughs and game to pretty much anything at their engagement session, including dancing in public and agreeing to visit a second, un-planned photoshoot location in downtown Chatham, Ontario.I have so many pictures of this sweet couple just laughing and enjoying each other’s […]
