Frontenac Photography

10/09/2026

A little less availability, a lot more intention. 💚

I've been doing a lot of thinking since yesterday, and with a heavy heart, I've made the decision to officially close my 2026 booking calendar.

With a major surgery on the horizon, potentially happening anytime between November and early January, there's still a lot of uncertainty surrounding what the next few months will look like.

And while this wasn't an easy decision to make, I know it's the right one.

So, what does this mean for Frontenac Photography?
🌿All sessions already booked or currently in the process of being scheduled will remain a priority. I'll be working to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible, with any necessary changes communicated directly.
🌿I will not be accepting any additional 2026 session bookings.
🌿And yes, unfortunately, this includes Christmas Minis for now. 🎄 This one genuinely breaks my heart because I know how much so many of you look forward to them (and so do I!). However, if my surgery ends up being scheduled after the holidays, I may reopen a very limited number of spots exclusively for Christmas Minis. Nothing is guaranteed, but I haven't completely closed that door just yet!
🌿Inquiries for 2027 will still be welcomed, although scheduling will depend on my surgery and recovery.

Last year's holiday season was incredibly difficult for me medically. Between the appointments, the uncertainty, the pain, and everything happening behind the scenes, it felt like the holidays came and went before I ever really got the chance to enjoy them.

And I don't want to repeat that this year.

I've spent so much time learning how to push through, keep going, and make everything work regardless of what life throws at me. But I'm also learning that just because I can push through something doesn't mean I always should.

My clients deserve a photographer who can give them her full attention, creativity, and care. My family deserves a wife and mom who gets to be present for the little moments. And I deserve to go into this next chapter of my medical journey without adding unnecessary stress to an already overwhelming situation.

Frontenac Photography isn't going anywhere. 💚
I'll still be editing, delivering galleries, sharing your beautiful memories, and working behind the scenes. I'm simply choosing to protect the commitments I've already made rather than continuing to add more to my plate.

Closing my books earlier than planned isn't something I ever imagined doing, especially after finally taking this business full-time. But being a business owner also means knowing when to make difficult decisions, even when your heart wants to say yes to everyone.

To every single person who has booked, supported, recommended, or trusted me with their memories this year, thank you.

Thank you for giving me the space to be both the photographer who loves what she does and the human being who needs to put her health and family first.

Here's to finishing 2026 a little differently than I imagined, but hopefully with a little more peace. 💚

A little personal update from the girl behind the camera. 🥹❤️

Today, I signed the consent papers for my hysterectomy. And yes, that absolutely called for a little glass of w**e to celebrate. 🥂

If you've been following along, you know the last year has been anything but easy.

Years of chronic pain, countless appointments, hospital admissions, surgeries, and fighting to have my concerns taken seriously have brought me to this moment.

And while signing those papers comes with a whole lot of emotions, today I'm choosing to focus on HOPE!

Hope for less pain.
Hope for healing.
Hope for getting pieces of myself back that I've lost along the way.

Because behind Frontenac Photography is a woman who has been trying to balance being a mom, a wife, a business owner, and someone navigating some pretty serious health challenges.

And I won't lie, there have been days when simply showing up has taken everything I've had.

But one thing this journey has reminded me of is just how precious life really is. How quickly things can change. And how important it is to be present for the moments that matter.

Which, if you think about it, is exactly why I fell in love with photography in the first place. ❤️

So what does this mean for Frontenac Photography?

For now, it's business as usual! I'll be navigating upcoming appointments, surgery and a fair amount of recovery time, but I'll communicate any scheduling changes well in advance!

To every client who has shown me patience, sent a kind message, checked in, or continued trusting me to capture their memories through all of this — thank you. More than you'll ever know.

This surgery isn't going to magically fix every medical issue I'm facing, and I still have a road ahead of me.

But today, I'm celebrating a step toward a future where I can spend less time fighting through pain and more time doing what I love.

And you better believe there's a whole lot of life, love, and memories left for this girl to capture. 📸

Consider this my formal application to third wheel your love story.

The big kisses are beautiful, sure. But give me the forehead kisses, the laughing mid-prompt, the hands reaching for each other and the moments where you completely forget there’s a camera nearby.

Those are the ones.

Those are always the ones. 💚

🍂 HAPPY BELATED FALL, FRIENDS!!!🍂

A little housekeeping from your favourite vertically challenged photographer who is currently running on determination and a questionable immune system 😂

First things first — TODAY IS MY FIRST DAY BACK SHOOTING!📸🤎

After two surgeries + a little post-surgery setback, I’m officially picking my camera back up. I am moving a little slower than usual and, for at least the next 5 days, fashion has left the building. 😂 Comfort is the priority, so if you see me looking extra cozy at your session… mind ya business. I’m just happy to be there.

MESSAGES 💌
I came back to 36+ messages between well wishes, check-ins, session inquiries and everything in between. I seriously cannot thank you all enough for checking on me and being so patient. I’m working my way through them, so if you’re still waiting on me — I promise I’m getting there!

A QUICK GALLERY UPDATE 📲
You may notice something new when viewing your galleries! I’ve added an anti-screenshot feature to help make sure your photos are actually downloaded rather than screenshotted.

Screenshots absolutely destroy the quality of your images, and I want you to have the beautiful, full-resolution files you paid for. So if your gallery gives you a hard time when you try to screenshot — she’s doing her job. 😂 Please download your images directly from the gallery for the best quality!

And finally, my biggest PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE:

If you or your kiddos are sick, please reschedule. ❤️

I have already had one post-surgery setback and, at this point, my immune system has been run over by a dump truck and then put through a wood chipper. 😂😭

I promise I would MUCH rather find you another date than risk getting sick and having to cancel multiple families because my body decided one tiny germ was its final straw.

Thank you guys for all the love, patience and understanding while I get myself back into the swing of things.

Now… LET’S GO SHOOT SOME FALL SESSIONS. 🍂📸🤎

It wasn’t about working from a hospital bed.

It was about finding a tiny piece of normal in a week that felt anything but normal.

Photography has always been more than a job to me.

So when I had the energy?

I did it anyways. 🤍

A little health blip 💚

Well… apparently my body decided I needed another plot twist. 😅

I’m back in the hospital after a pretty intense pain crisis, but thankfully, there’s some really good news mixed in with all of this: I finally have a treatment plan and the end is so close I could touch it!!

Today I’ve undergone a pretty intense exploratory procedure and a whole lot of testing, all in preparation for a fairly major operation tomorrow.

THE BIG PLUS SIDE: recovery is expected to be super short, and no upcoming sessions or weddings will be affected! 💚

Your dates are safe, your photos are being edited (I might have my laptop with me and I might be working from my hospital bed hehe) your girl just needs a few days to get herself put back together!!

I am going to be a bit of a social media recluse for the next few days. Messages, emails and DMs may sit unanswered a little longer than usual while I focus on surgery and recovery, but I promise I’ll get back to everyone as soon as I’m able.

For now, I’m signing off, letting my body do what it needs to do, and hopefully coming out the other side feeling a whole lot better.

I love you all.
Truly.

Thank you for the patience, kindness and understanding you continue to show me and my little business. It means more than you know. 💚

See you on the other side of this little blip. ✌🏻

I was genuinely in awe of this space. 🤎

What started as a barn was completely transformed into the most beautiful wedding venue — and knowing how much of it was thoughtfully created by my couple made every little detail that much more special.

Before the guests started arriving, I stood right in the middle of the space for probably 15 minutes just taking it all in. The lights, the tables, the details, the atmosphere… I wanted to actually appreciate everything they had worked so hard to bring together before the day got busy.

And now they’re thinking about taking it one step further… 👀

They’re looking into the possibility of making this a permanent wedding venue!

So I told them I’d put it out there: what do you think?!

Would you get married here?

Because after seeing what they created, I can absolutely picture so many more love stories being celebrated in this space. 🤍

There’s something about waking up after Labour Day that makes it feel official… summer has come to an end. ☀️

The calendar might say we still have a couple weeks left, but Labour Day has always felt like summer’s unofficial goodbye. Backpacks are packed, routines are returning, evenings are getting a little cooler, and those long, slow summer days suddenly feel like memories.

And maybe that’s why photos like this get me. Bare feet. Sun-kissed legs. Water splashing below. Nothing extraordinary happening — just childhood in the summertime.

The kind of little moment that doesn’t feel important until the season changes. 🤍

Here’s to summer 2026 — and all the ordinary moments that became memories.

After 7 years of balancing photography, a “9–5,” mom life and wife life, I decided it was finally time to drop one of my titles… and pick up one that feels a whole lot more like me.

FULL-TIME PHOTOGRAPHER 📸

Seven years ago, I started taking photos because I wanted to hold onto the little moments. I never imagined that something I loved so deeply would grow into a business, a career, and eventually something big enough to become my full-time job.

Somewhere along the way, “photographer” stopped being the thing I squeezed into evenings, weekends and every little pocket of time I could find. It became a huge part of who I am.

So, I did freaking the scary thing…
I chose it!

It’s official: I’M A FULL-TIME PHOTOGRAPHER

And while one title is disappearing, the important ones aren’t going anywhere.

I’m still Mom.
Still wife.

Still the girl who overshoots, gets way too excited about good light and will absolutely fix your flyaway hairs one by one. 😂

Just now, when someone asks what I do for a living, I finally get to say:

I’M A PHOTOGRAPHER!

Seven years in the making. And somehow, it feels like I’m only getting started. 💚
