TOBERMORY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – EMILY AND TY

PHOTOGRAPHING ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS, FAMILY SESSIONS, AND ANNIVERSARIES FOR OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS MAY BE MY FAVOURITE THING EVER So when my friend (and another talented photographer) Emily contacted me about photographing her and her sweetheart of a boyfriend Ty, I was absolutely over the moon! What makes these even more special for me, is that they didn’t […]

STEF AND JEFF’S ALTON MILL WEDDING IN CALEDON WAS ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS – This day was absolutely everything that I love about weddings rolled into one beautiful package.

THIS SESSION TUGS AT MY HEARTSTRINGS FOR SO MANY REASONS — Brianne and Bradon have been good friends of mine and Stephen for the past few years; honestly, I think Stephen may love Bradon about 300 times more than me and I’m not even surprised about it. Needless to say, when the time came to photograph […]

Never in a million years would I expect that an Instagram giveaway would result in me meeting one of the sweetest couples of all time, but here we are.

San Francisco City Hall Engagement Session – Lysa and Adam

arrow

Uncategorized

Even despite being in this industry for so many years, I’m always blown away at how some couples can come into your life and it immediately feels like it’s meant to be — For me, Lysa and Adam are definitely one of those couples. Our first “meeting” was over the phone and was basically just spent […]

Katie and Justin – Scarborough Bluffs Engagement Session

Uncategorized

I joke pretty much every day that my dream clients are straight out of a Meg Ryan movie and “Must Love Dogs” So, obviously, when I first met Katie and Justin and they immediately whipped out their phones to show me photos of their Bernese Mountain Dog, Sadie, I knew it was meant to be. We […]

At Home Engagement Session – Amy and Shawn

Uncategorized

To know Amy and Shawn is to fall in love with them, and that is exactly what I did during this session. At home sessions were always something that totally excited me and terrified me all at the same time; I think there is something so magical about trying new things as a photographer, but […]

For this […]

Point Reyes Engagement Session – Andrea and Josh

Uncategorized

I feel lucky to be able to photograph any couple’s engagement session, but sometimes a little extra lucky when they put their trust in me from across the globe! Andrea and Josh are both located in Petaluma, California, and by some strange series of events, Andrea ended up on my Instagram one day after looking […]
