A morning well spent with the McGinn family. Malia brought all the energy, while baby sister Halle kept things perfectly calm.
Between the couch cuddles, Taylor Swift dance parties, and endless giggles, these photos feel like a true reflection of life right now.
These are some of my favorite sessions. No stiff posing, just those fleeting, honest moments that tell the story of a family laughing through the chaos. 🤍

Newborn sessions don’t have to be performative to be powerful. In fact, I think they’re at their best when they’re a little bit quiet.

It’s in the way she stretches her toes against your palms—a scale you’ll forget much sooner than you think. It’s the way the afternoon light hits the corner of the nursery you curated with so much intention, long before you even knew her name. It’s the soft, rhythmic sound of her breathing in a house that feels both exactly the same and entirely different since you brought her home.

My goal isn’t to give you a ‘perfect’ photo for the grid; it’s to give you a window back to these first few days at home. Pure, honest, and entirely hers.

Wishing my clients and friends the happiest holiday season 🎅🏻🎄✨❤️

As the year winds down, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to truly 'be home' for the holidays.

After ten years, Sarah and Andrew finally stepped into the day they had waited for. In a sweet moment of anticipation during their first look, Andrew proved he knows his bride better than anyone, confidently and correctly guessing every detail about her wedding dress!
The modern architecture of the Temiskaming Shores City Hall was the perfect backdrop for their heartfelt ceremony. With a stunning view of Lake Temiskaming through the wide windows, it provided a beautiful, bright setting—and even a cheeky vantage point for a few sneaky friends watching from outside. Surrounded by their immediate families, including their two beautiful girls, Eloise and Anika, the MacDonalds sealed the deal.
The newlyweds then made a quick, celebratory pit stop at Tap That Bar for cocktails before heading to Riverside Place. There, an elegant reception awaited their guests, complete with the beautiful sounds of a cello player and a spread of delicious appetizers. The evening was a high-energy celebration! With Second Company on stage, the dance floor never cleared, providing a fun-filled ending to their long-awaited "I do."

I'm a believer that some things are just meant to be. For Simone and Jeremy, a few venue changes ultimately led them to the Cobalt Train Station, which felt like the venue they were always supposed to find. With its vintage charm and elegant accents, it was the perfect setting for a day filled with emotion, sweet moments, and a lot of laughter.

The morning was filled with anticipation as Jeremy got ready with his closest friends and family, and the joy was palpable as Simone stepped into her dress, sharing a moment of happy tears with her mom and sister. Their short and sweet ceremony was held outside the train station, with stunning views of Cobalt Lake. The reception was a true celebration of their love, with a vibrant dance floor and heartfelt speeches. One of the night's most unforgettable moments was when Jeremy's dad pulled out a surprise for his speech—a song about love that Jeremy had written as a kid. The song, and his dad's performance, had everyone in the room in tears of laughter.

Simone and Jeremy's wedding day was a beautiful reminder that a dream wedding is not about a perfectly executed plan, but about the beautiful, unexpected moments that make the day truly yours. Cheers to officially being Mr. & Mrs. McVittie!

When I met Cody and Megan at the beach, Megan immediately showed me her left hand. A ring on her fourth finger made this session so much more special - a combined engagement and maternity session to celebrate ALL of the excitement 🤍

There’s a certain kind of magic in an old wooden boat - the way it tells a story without saying a word. Honoured to have captured the start of theirs.
