I love spending time at the cottage with my Fiancé JC, reading thrillers in the sunshine, and being fur mama to Russell, Pamplemousse & Bruce.
I have a passion for capturing genuine relationships all over the globe. Love stories are my favourite. I focus on creating imagery that speaks to the soul with it's authenticity, while maintaining a consistent timeless and romantic quality that will last through the ages.
When it comes to my approach, what keeps me grounded to a certain aesthetic is my relationship with my clients. I feel that getting to know you and your partner is the means behind every raw, vulnerable image you receive, and a person can only open up in that way when they get to know the person behind the lens, and build a trusting relationship with them. THAT is why getting to know you and your relationship with your partner is so important to me!
In my adult life I have been blessed enough to be able to travel all over the world, some for work and some I've solo-travelled with nothing but a backpack for months on end. Countries including (but not limited to) Indonesia, Greece, Portugal, England, Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica and my favourite Australia. I’ve discovered that travelling and meeting new people is where my soul thrives, and I am most at home when I'm seaside. Please know that I am more than willing to travel for you!
My soul could never settle for a career that didn't make my heart soar on a daily basis. So here I am, living my dreams, capturing love stories on the regular - loving every second! Sharing in the love of two individuals is really something remarkable. I get to work with people every day who's love inspires me - needless to say I adore what I do.
I grew up lakeside just north of Parry Sound, ON. Running around barefoot, catching frogs and playing in the dirt. These days I call Barrie, ON “home”, but Whitestone Lake remains my happy place.
I am a believer in the tangible and the handmade - in other words I am a sappy sentimentalist. My parents photographed my entire childhood on film, and those albums are my favourite keepsake. I’ve brought that appreciation for preserving memories into my business. It's the backbone to what makes this passion run so pure for me. Being able to open up those albums and be transported to another time, to such a wonderful, carefree childhood, is why I hold your family memories so dear to my heart, and why I don't take my job lightly.
Besides photography, I also have a background in personal training & nutrition coaching. Though I don't coach any more, my love for health and fitness runs deep, and it will always have a place in my world.
When I'm not at a wedding on a summer Saturday, I love spending time in the sunshine with a good book, specifically on the dock at the cottage - my boys not far from sight.
How does one choose!? If I had to it's probably salmon sushi, or Mom's homemade spaghetti.
I met my partner JC powerlifting where we bonded over our mutual love of deadlifts. I hold multiple records in the sport with my favourite being my 413lb deadlift in the 56kg weight class.
Enough about me. I look forward to getting to know you! Would you like to book me as a photographer for your wedding or inquire a photo session? Leave a message on my contact page and don't forget to tell me a bit about yourself!
