I’m so excited to be bringing back Mother’s Day mini sessions this April! I am offering these pint-sized sessions for Moms to “get in the picture” with their babies (of all ages). We’re often the picture takers, the memory makers. It’s time to make sure our bond with or children is photographed and persevered. Mothers and children of all ages are welcome ❤️. Sessions will take place throughout the month of April so you’ll be able to get these portraits on your wall in time for Mother’s Day. Or you can gift a session to the mom in your life on Mother’s Day.

The cost for a 20 minute session with your choice of 5 digital images is $300, with a portion of the proceeds going to Lurana Women’s Shelter in Edmonton, making sure moms and their babies can stay safe and get the support they need.

Send me a message for dates and availability! Can’t wait to photograph you and your beautiful children this spring. ❤️

*these are currently being booked outdoors, but if there’s interest in studio sessions we can make that happen April 26th*

If you’re anything like me, Black Friday feels so overwhelming. A million emails in my inbox and pressure to “purchase now!”.

A simple Tuesday, with the premise of giving back to my community, feels much more aligned to my heart-centred business.

From today till Friday, I’m offering an extra special “Giving Tuesday” promotion that includes an incredible discount for you AND the ability to support vulnerable people in our city by helping put food on their table.

Here’s the details!

For every Family Lifestyle Session gift card purchased ($300) you’ll receive a $200 bonus gift card, PLUS you’ll feed a family of three for the holidays.

For every In-Home Newborn Session purchased ($300) you’ll receive $200 bonus gift card, PLUS I’ll make a donation of a Baby Bundle full of essential newborn items for a new mom in need.

For every “Holidays At Home” session booked, I’ll purchase a special new gift for Santa’s Anonymous. These limited-time sessions are available to celebrate your favourite family tradition in your own home- cookie decorating, snowman making, or setting up the tree. These sessions are available till December 31st at the special rate of $800, including files (!!).

I hope the spirit of the season is filling your home this Giving Tuesday. I’d love to be apart of your family’s holiday or be part of your family’s “everyday” by creating beautiful, natural portraits this coming year. There is nothing more important to me than my memories as my children grow, especially these magical Christmasy moments. I can feel the moments fleeting as my kids slowly end this stage of life, and I just want to hold on to these days. I hope my photography helps do just that.

Like most families, the last few weeks have been busy with back-to-school and the new schedule that comes with it. Between the school supply shopping and the return to kids' sports, I’ve been able to photograph some amazing families in their favourite places. It’s been incredible to connect with different families and tell their stories through photographs.

I’m currently looking out my window and enjoying the first few signs of a golden, beautiful fall. The leaves are beginning to change, and while our autumn season is short, it’s spectacular. I still have availability to photograph a couple more families through this season, celebrating the fall colours and capturing the connection and love that your family shares.

If you want your family story told through a series of photographs celebrating your quirks, the giant belly laughs, the messy chaos, the golden toned pretty portraits, and those not-so-perfect-moments that will end up meaning the world to you when your kids have grown, send me a message.

Let’s document some fall magic together.
