Come with me behind the scenes at one of Niagara-on-the-Lake's most beautiful dining experiences. ✨

From perfectly plated courses to the quiet moments that make service feel effortless, documenting the atmosphere at REVÉ is a reminder that hospitality is an art form all its own.

The details. The movement. The passion behind every dish.

This is what guests don't always see, but it's where the magic happens. 🍷📸

The days feel long, but this chapter is so fleeting. 🌿

C + M's maternity session at Waterworks Park was full of quiet excitement, gentle laughter, and the kind of love that already makes a baby feel at home. Kuma will be the best big brother. 🐾🥹

I can't wait to meet the little one you've been dreaming about. 🤍

You, me, and the shoreline. 🤍

M + B made my job so easy. The most beautiful photos happen when couples stop worrying about the camera and simply enjoy being together. 🌊✨

There's nothing quite like Sudbury in the Summer ☀️

For a few days this July, I'll be heading back to my motherland to catch up with some of my OG clients, revisit some of my favourite photo spots, eat my weight in wild blueberries and soak up a little Northern Ontario sunshine.

Need family photos? Couples photos? Branding photos? Photos with your dog who is definitely the favourite child? I've got you.

📍 Sudbury
📅 July 23–26

Message me to book before my schedule fills up and feel free to share this with your Sudbury crew! (please. help ya girl out!) 💛

Some backyards are just built different 😮‍💨🌿

J + E turned their engagement session into something straight out of a dream with a private waterfall, winding stream, wildflowers, and the softest summer light. Honestly, this felt less like a photoshoot and more like wandering through a hidden garden with two people completely obsessed with each other.

These are the kinds of engagement photos I LOVE creating : natural, romantic, candid moments in places that actually mean something to you. No awkward posing, just connection, movement, laughter and a little bit of magic.

If you’ve been looking for inspiration for your engagement photos in Niagara or Ontario, don’t overlook meaningful outdoor locations like family properties, gardens, creeks, forests, or even your own backyard 💛

Your feed looked a little low on wiener content, so here you go! 🌭

A little dachshund photoshoot with my pal’s adorable wiener dogs and I am fully convinced there is no bigger personality packed into such tiny legs. These sweet doxies brought all the chaos, side eyes, side quests, and classic dachshund attitude to their dog photography session 🫶📸

If you’ve ever wanted professional photos of your dog, whether it’s a playful puppy, senior dog or your whole pack, pet photography sessions are always some of my favourites. Especially when dachshunds are involved 🌭

A little local business love 🤝🔥

This week I teamed up with Big G’s Smokehouse for a simple trade: professional photography of their food/staff in exchange for some seriously good smoked BBQ and sides.

And so I spent a few hours capturing their food and the vibe behind what they do, and left with so much food I had to bring Andrew in to help me out. 🍖📸

THE VERDICT: the food is transcendent. Do not sleep on this place. They will be so busy soon!

Always a win working with local businesses and getting to support each other in ways that actually make sense. As they're just starting out, a full branding photo session isn't in the marketing plan. But as I've said many times before: currency comes in all forms, baby! 🥩

Supporting local, eating well, and making some good photos along the way

Hot take: the barter system is alive and well. If photos aren’t in the budget right now, let’s talk trades.

I’m always in the market for
• tattoos
• hair appointments
• fitness coaching / personal training
• marketing & social media help
• meals from your restaurant
• cleaning services
• pet grooming
• floral arrangements
• baked goods
• massage / wellness services
• nails or esthetics
• farm goods / fresh eggs
• art, pottery, handmade things

✨ sincerely, a photographer who fully supports the barter economy
