Family, lifestyle and newborn photographer. I love capturing little moments in life for you to cherish for the rest of your lives.

Pro tip: the photos you’ll treasure most aren’t the perfect ones. They’re the ones where you can almost hear the laughter. 🤍 I always save time at the end of a session for families to just be together, and that’s where the magic lives. Throwing it back to warm days and wet feet before the cold sets in.

In a field full of everything, he only saw her💗

5 years…

This year feels heavier than the others.

Five years is a really long time to miss somebody. For the record, time didn’t heal it. Time just got me used to the sadness.

Grief is a funny thing. Your body remembers what it lived through, what it felt. As this date approached, I started waking up in the middle of the night again, at the same time every night. Now I just say, “Hi.” Because I know it’s you.

You would’ve been 17 this year. And I try to imagine what you would look like today. I try to imagine what your voice would sound like. Who you would be. What you would love. What you would be doing.

It’s hard when I look at photos because you’re frozen in time, five years gone, while the rest of the world kept moving.

Five years of birthdays you never had with us. Five years of moments you should have been here for. Five years of wondering about all the things I’ll never get to know.

People say time heals. Maybe for some things it does. But some losses don’t get smaller. You just learn how to carry them.

I hope you’re having fun with Nonno up there. ❤️

And I saw you this morning, peeking through the sky. At least, that’s what I’m choosing to believe.

Five years later, I still miss you just as much.

I love you. Always. ❤️- ‘Dia’ Carm

Not all strength is loud.

Sometimes it looks like sitting with the pain…
letting it change you…
and choosing to rise anyway.

There is something sacred about witnessing someone rebuild themselves after loss — softer, stronger, more honest than before.

This wasn’t just a session.
It was a reclamation.

Healing isn’t linear. But you don’t have to walk it alone.

‘Moving on’ is complicated. There is no how-to guide. No structure or timeline as grief doesn’t fit into a simple pattern.

Grief is complicated. It’s messy. It’s debilitating. Days can seem longer and darker. And some days you function so normally that you feel this overwhelming guilt over it.

I don’t have any answers or best approaches. But I do know that sometimes you have to push through it. And these girls are doing just that.

Their bravery and resilience left me in tears. This group of ladies are awe inspiring. The unimaginable happened - these girls lost their dad and Tanya lost her husband. They are navigating through the grief and put on their bravest faces and showed up for their first family shoot without him there… at least not physically.

But he was there… present in all that they do. They smiled, they laughed and maybe cried a little too. They brought him into every step they took. They remembered him and honoured him. The love and respect they have for him was so present.

I was honoured to have been able to capture their family photos for the last few years and even more so that they trusted me again to help them through this process.

Sending so much love to all those that have lost someone and are brave enough to keep showing up.
