❤️ THE ONE MORE PHOTO PROJECT | SEPTEMBER ❤️

This one is going to stay with me for a very, very long time.

When I first announced The One More Photo Project, I had no idea just how much the very first session would mean to me personally.

Meet Megan, her mom Sharon, and her grandma Barbara. Three generations of beautiful women who allowed me to step into a very personal chapter of their lives and capture some memories together. ❤️

Barbara is living with dementia.

And if you've ever loved someone with dementia, you know just how heartbreaking and complicated that journey can be.

My own great-grandmother had dementia, and while photographing these three ladies, I couldn't help but see pieces of her in Barbara. The little expressions, the moments, the way her family interacted with her. It brought back so many memories of my own.

And it reminded me exactly why I started this project.

Because sometimes we don't realize how badly we need a photograph until we wish we had taken one more.

One more photo with Grandma.

One more photo of Mom holding her mom's hand.

One more photo of three generations together.

I stayed up late editing this gallery because I wanted Megan, Sharon, and Barbara to have their photographs as soon as I possibly could. Not because I had a deadline, but because I know how precious these moments are, and I wanted this family to have these memories to hold onto for as long as possible.

To Megan and Sharon, thank you. Truly. Thank you for allowing me into such a vulnerable part of your lives, for trusting me with these moments, and for reminding me just how important the work I get to do really is.

And to Barbara, thank you for spending that time with me. You reminded me of someone I loved very much, and I don't think I'll ever forget that. ❤️

I didn't start The One More Photo Project to create perfect pictures.

I started it because one day, these might be the photographs someone holds a little tighter. The ones they frame, the ones they show their children, the ones they look back on when they're missing someone.

And if I can give even one family that kind of memory, then this project is already everything I hoped it would be.

September's One More Photo Project will forever hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

Thank you for letting me tell a little piece of your story.

📸❤️ SUDBURY, CAN WE TALK FOR A SECOND?!

I feel like I need to remind my hometown that I STILL photograph in Sudbury!! 😂❤️

Just because Backyard Snap Photography is based out of Blind River doesn't mean I've forgotten where I came from!

Born and raised in Sudbury, and I'd LOVE to start filling my calendar with a whole lot more familiar (and new!) faces! 🥹

Families, couples, maternity, lifestyle newborns, engagements, weddings, pets, small businesses, YOU NAME IT!

If you've been following me for a while, you know my photography style is all about those real, genuine moments. The belly laughs, the chaos, the cuddles, the kids being kids, and everything in between. 🤎

I'm officially looking to expand my Sudbury booking calendar for the remainder of 2026 and throughout 2027! 📸

And here's the best part! You don't have to wait for me to announce mini sessions to book with me! Full sessions are ALWAYS an option! ❤️

SOOOO, SUDBURY!

Have you been thinking about updating your family photos? Planning a wedding? Expecting a little one? Or maybe you just want some beautiful photos with your favourite people?

COMMENT "SUDBURY" BELOW OR SEND ME A MESSAGE! 🥰

And if you know someone in Sudbury looking for a photographer, a little share goes a LONG way for this small business owner. ❤️

Let's fill my calendar with some Sudbury memories! 📸🤎

I've got SO much goodness to share with you guys, so prepare for your feeds to be filled with all the beautiful faces I've been photographing lately! 🤎

❤️ THE ONE MORE PHOTO PROJECT UPDATE ❤️

Okayyy, I have officially chosen the September recipient for The One More Photo Project. 🥹📸

I’ve reached out to them privately, and I am SO excited to create these photos for them. I’ll share more when the time is right and with their permission. ❤️

BUT PLEASE KEEP SUBMITTING!!!

Choosing someone for September does NOT mean submissions are closed.

This is an ongoing project, and I’ll be choosing one recipient every month. If you’ve already submitted and weren’t chosen this time, your submission is STILL in the running for future months! You do not need to submit the same story again. ❤️

And if you haven’t submitted yet, you absolutely still can.

A parent.
A grandparent.
Your kids.
Your best friend.
Your pet.
Multiple generations of your family.
A home or place that means everything to you.
Someone you simply realized you don't have enough photos with.

You do NOT need to have the saddest story. You don’t need to convince me that you “deserve” it more than somebody else.

This project is about one simple thought:
“I wish I had one more photo.” ❤️
Let’s take it while we still can. 📸

September has been chosen.
October is next. 🥹❤️

📸 QUICK BACKYARD SNAP UPDATE 📸
Just a little housekeeping as I continue updating my contracts and policies behind the scenes! ❤️

Going forward, there will now be a $75 rescheduling fee for sessions rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice.

When you book a session with me, that time is reserved specifically for you. When a session is moved at the last minute, I’m usually unable to fill that opening with another client, which means I’ve lost that booking time completely.

Obviously, LIFE HAPPENS. 😂 Kids get sick, emergencies happen, weather does whatever the hell it wants, and sometimes things are completely outside of our control. I will always use my discretion in genuine emergency situations. ❤️

This policy is simply being added to help protect my time and keep things running smoothly as Backyard Snap continues to grow.

Nothing else is changing with my current session pricing! This is simply an update to my booking policies and contracts.

Thank you all for understanding and for continuing to support Backyard Snap Photography. ❤️📸
