Brothers at Brackley Beach in B&W 🖤

When a family tells you they love to print their photos in black & white, you lean into it with your whole heart. I absolutely love these images from our session together and love that so many images will make it on their wall too cause my heart does a little dance! I usually go with a feeling when I’m editing and it was so fun to challenge myself to dive into a good black & white edit (photographers… IYKYK ✌🏼)

Which one would you pick to print? 👀

letting kids be kids, always 🦁✨

And if that means roaring at me to let it all out, so be it (I might the one roaring through the session but that’s a topic for another day hehe 😜). I just love getting to know your kiddos and everything that makes them unique. I want all the tickles and the laughs and the goosebumps (hello slide 8 👀) and the missing teeth. I want to see all the hermit crabs they’ll show me, even if it’s close to 100 different ones lol Nicole (Payzant) Sallay ☺️ I’m just a true believer that kids are humans beings and deserve to be listened to and deserve to be documented, as they are, in this moment in time...

So yeah, I’m just sitting outside in Montreal right now and missing the Island so much! I can’t wait to get back to my favourite place on earth. My season isn’t done yet as I’m still editing and more sessions in October (yay fall sessions!) so I’m excited to go home to my kiddo and my partner and catch up on my art, but felt the need to share this session. This is only part 1 of the session too as we headed to the beach after so I’ve got more to share!

Ps. I seriously wish I could look at these photos forever because the black & white are some of my faves of siblings being siblings 💙

growing alongside you. growing kids with you.☀️

Absolute joy of a session with Jessica, Zachary, and their kiddos. I’m one of those people that just loves love (probably why I love photographing weddings so much too)! And when you meet two people that have known each other for most of their lives, that have loved each other through every possible experience, now raising kiddos together, it just really puts things into perspective. And it just reminds me that life is beautiful and makes us appreciate that sometimes, love is found in comfort, in the ordinary days, in the piled dishes in the sink or folding those tiny little socks, because just one day, you will miss those sparkly crocs that you tripped over in the hallway 💛

So peep 👀 the last two slides to see the photo we recreated at Canoe Cove, many many years later 🥹

A morning at the farm with Gillian, Owen and Bobby ☀️

I basically had to restrain myself from posting all the images from this session lol so I guess I’ll just have to do a blog post when I have time 😉 little Bobby just smiled the whole time pretty much, his two little teeth peeking through, just enjoying being with his parents at the PEI family farm, tucked away near our own family’s cottage in Mermaid. And that morning light hitting those baby rolls like IYKYK ✨ (paging all photographers lol!!!!)

Anyways, it feels so weird/fun sharing new work so hope you love these as much as me!

Probably one of my favourite images to date from an extended family session (swipe for the full effect!) 👀🥹

I’m so lucky when families really trust my vision, when we can let the kids be kids, and when we can really take our time to connect. I captured all these cousins together, growing up and reconnecting on Prince Edward Island for the summer.

All the feels, honestly ✌🏻

Back at Thunder Cove (my favourite beach) with Marianne & Alexandre, who travelled to PEI from Montreal on their babymoon and we got to just chill and hang out AND SPEAK FRENCH! I’m so thrilled to share these sweet maternity pictures. I’ve got so much more to share but trying something a little bit different so hope you like it 🫶🏻✨

——

De retour à ma plage préférée (Thunder Cove) avec Marianne & Alexandre pour une petite séance de maternité. Ils ont voyagé de Montréal à l’Ile-du-Prince-Édouard pour un petit voyage avant l’arrivée de bébé. J’avais tellement hâte de partager cette séance et j’ai tellement plus de photos à partager mais j’ai voulu essayer quelque chose de nouveau alors j’espère que vous aimerez! 🫶🏻✨

So here’s a couple 35mm film snaps from last year’s Charlottetown Pride parade!

Luxy & Lumin at the beach with their mom ✨

I absolutely love when I get to show our beautiful Island to people vacationing here, and especially when it’s Thunder Cove. I love the mix of green dunes on one side and the red cliffs on the other, connected to each other by the sea. The sand is so soft, the sunsets are out of this world and I could spend every day there. I have to drive about 50 minutes to arrive and I absolutely enjoy driving to your sessions with the windows down, blasting some UK garage (you’ll probably hear me coming lol) 😂 and just vibing honestly!

I’ve already been there two or three times this year and I can’t wait to go back 💛 I also tell every one of the families I work with to try and visit it while they’re on the Island cause it’s worth the drive.

I feel like I should make a little guide of my favourite beaches on the Island!! What do we think?

Posting a single image? Who am I? 👀😻

No but in all seriousness, I just love this image of Lily Forsythe, R. Ac | Acupuncturist | Charlottetown & little Ada so much, the light peeking through, their closeness and connection and especially how she looks at her daughter, studying her face.

Our babies grow up so. damn. fast… I can’t believe my daughter is starting kindergarten in September and turns 5 too! Where does time go? These seasons of our lives go too quickly, and as a mom, I notice my kiddo’s features changing, her needs evolving and I’m so damn proud of who she’s become 🥰

So sometimes, I guess it’s ok to just post that one image because it tells every word I want to convey 💛

Vee
