Psst! I'm going to tell you a little secret--Ferry Beach in Scarborough is my favorite local beach! A little over a year ago I photographed Shawna and Jason here for her maternity session and it seemed only fitting for us to meet there for one year pictures of their son Stellan. We had been watching the weather all week and we lucked out with a beautifully warm (albeit windy) afternoon at the beach.
Read MoreOh my gosh, I love engagement sessions! Someone recently asked me what my favorite thing to shoot was, and I started listing off different types of sessions I typically shoot and then I had to stop myself because the question wasn’t what I photograph, but rather what was my favorite. After I thought about it that way, the answer was obvious: people. And more specifically, people in love! I love capturing connections and relationships and engagement sessions are chock full of moments of love and connection.

Read MoreThe first few days of having a newborn fly by in the blink of an eye, which is why I love hospital newborn sessions so much. I am able to come to the hospital, usually the day after the little one has arrived, and document moments that are both raw and beautiful for the family to look back on and cherish for years to come.
Read MoreSome couples just exude light and love, and I must say that Christina + Nils are one of those couples. I couldn't help but smile the whole time I was editing their images, as it is so clear that they adore one another.
