Good news: website’s back online with mobile!

I have a *rather* clever brother and recruited him to figure out what on earth was going on with my website - and he pulled off what feels like a miracle!

Feel free to celebrate by reading the two-part story behind our 12-day Manaslu Circuit hike, then heading over to IG for the supporting photos.

Here’s part one:

Part 1 of 2 of our 12 days on the Manaslu Circuit, taking in Himalayan views, revelling in details about rural Nepal & crossing countless suspension bridges.

Annnnnnnd that's a wrap! The studio is packed away, my last shoot was 5 short days ago, my final gallery went out yesterday, final orders are being placed in the next 2 days, and hard drives are being re-located to ensure that everyone's files are safely stored while we're on the road. 2025 was one WILD ride, but we've made it to the end.

I hope that you're each ensconced in that cosy haze that comes from being between Christmas and New Year's Eve. May 2026 bring adventure, growth and time with your loved ones.

Many have asked how to follow our adventures and the answer is via Instagram () or via the blog (desktop/tablet only for now): https://momentusstudio.com/blog/. I'm looking forward to having a chance to slow down and reconnect with writing again as I reflect on our experiences - it's been a loooong while!

Welcoming a new baby is such an exciting time - unless you're Ellie.

I've photographed plenty of dogs, many of whom have been comically expressive and intent on being in photos with their families. Ellie, however, probably takes the cake for most human-like personality of any dog I've known over the years. She leaves absolutely no room for doubt about what she's thinking. 😂

The scramble to tie up all loose ends before our departure on New Year's Eve is REAL, but when you have faces like these to keep you company, it's pretty hard to complain...

Katie and Jason's gallery was giving me the biggest Sunday morning smiles before I head off for today's sessions. 6 more sessions to go to close out 2025!

I've been thinking lately about the multitude of ways we feel and experience joy at weddings. Sometimes it's unexpected, sometimes it's a little bit predictable, and sometimes it brings on outright guffaws of laughter that trigger ripples of joy through an entire crowd. Conveniently, I was ruminating on all of this while culling weddings, so I got to dig into my thoughts. Here's a collection of joy from Emily & Cameron's day - ours (hello, boutonnieres and... muppets as "Easter eggs"?!), theirs, and their people's.

Flowers: Saisons

Soft moments in beautiful light might be my favourite combo amidst the tumult of a wedding day because they offer up a chance for everyone to breathe, re-centre, and connect.

I have some big news to share....

Earlier this year, Rich and I took a moment to re-evaluate and we had some realisations that hit a little harder than maybe we anticipated. We made the decision that it's time to pack our bags again and hit the road, so it's with both excitement and trepidation that I'm announcing Moment.us will be closed as of Dec 20, 2025 until January 2027.

This is going to be, without a doubt, the most ambitious adventure of any that we've embarked upon, so I hope that you'll follow the ups and downs (some literal, some less so) of our life on the road via Insta when it's time ( with occasional updates here and on Moment.us's IG stories). I'm also expecting that this will be the perfect opportunity to reconnect with my love of writing, so hope to post updates via my website (and maybe even get the mobile version working again???).

To clients who are hoping to secure a spot for fall: please reach out ASAP. I would love to see you before I go, but have *extremely* limited dates and turnaround times will be much longer than even the most recent timelines, so sessions will be reserved for the most patient among you. 😉 Your support over 14 years has been tremendous. I'm grateful this will only be "bye for now."

Now back to wedding editing! Sneak peeks to come!

Groomsmen can make or break a wedding day for us. We meet them first, so they set the tone for the rest of the day, and we rely on them for their energy, kindness, and humour as a wedding day progresses.

By the time their ties are tied, Kris and I already have a pretty good read of the room: we know who to watch out for (it happens🤷‍♀️), who to count on if we need help, and who to watch during speeches when we want to see some tears - and sometimes we place bets on who's going to be the biggest spectacle on the dance floor at the end of the night. 😉

Alfonso's guys helped us start our day with laughter and we knew we were onto a good thing with this crew.

I try to include a human element in detail shots any time I can - but when I can't, a seemingly-agog groom muppet makes for an entertaining substitution!

Someone: Jump like a broken starfish in a tornado!

Soph: I got this.

And so, "Sophie Takes Flight: A Visual Ode to Splashes" was born.

Time with the Coughlins has always held a special place on my calendar. Time with their extended crew will now *also* hold a special place on my calendar because these are some of the best kind of people - and don't even get me started on their rock star Nanny... ❤ I spent a wonderful couple of hours with this gang knocking out a pile of portraits and then quietly documenting not-so-quiet life around the pool on a sweltering summer afternoon, and I can't imagine a better place to have spent my time.
