It’s always an honour when other photographers ask us to shoot them, and all that much more fun when they are friends, too.
Tracey & Jonathan braved the cold wind and Reilly’s 4×4 driving dreams (in a car that is so not a 4×4) last week for a series of portraits.
Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon! Here are just a few of our fav shots!
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since doing Sandi’s maternity photos! Natasha & Nathan are a tonne of fun, and a huge bundle of energy. I was excited to finally meet them recently. They definitely have their own very distinct personalities, and I can see that they’re going to be quite a pair when they are older!
Here are a few of my fav shots!
I had the pleasure of heading over to the home of Rachel, Chris, and baby Naveen yesterday for some family potraits. Naveen is not quite 3 months old and was oh so interested in my camera. Such a cute baby! She was a perfect angel the entire time I was there, too. Congrats again guys! She’s pretty spectacular
Here are a few of my (many, many) favourites
Sandi and Kevin are having twins! It’s been a while since I had the privilege of photographing twins - and newborn twins are the best kind. I’ll look forward to sharing 2 sets of new fingers and toes in just a few weeks!
I recently went to their place to photograph a few maternity portraits. These were two of my favourites
Sandi & Kevin
Sandi looking absolutely amazing
My passion for photography comes from being given the opportunity to document some of the most important moments in the lives of my clients. I repeat over and over again to people who ask why I do it that I know what my parent’s wedding photos look like and I know what my grandparent’s do, too. I have glimpses of their childhoods through photos and I have record of mine. It’s powerful, powerful stuff.
While snapshots are important, I know that through my camera I can capture stunning artistic images that both capture the essence of the people I’m shooting and that will stand the test of time. Images that my clients proudly hang on their walls and display in their albums.
And, on that note, more often than not I am able to capture images and moments that otherwise would have never been captured.
A few weeks ago I posted the maternity pictures of Stacy who was due with her first baby last week. And, last Thursday, I had the honour of attending and documenting the home birth of her very beautiful baby girl.
These are images that would have never been captured if not for my presence. They are also images that will be cherished for the entire lives of this new family. They are true photojournalism at its finest, and I still cry everytime I see them.
With the blessing of the family I am sharing the slideshow for those of you who would like to see it. It’s been edited for modesty, but it’s still a birth and there are some very graphic frames so some may choose not to view it.

In the next month or two we’ll be updating our website to reflect our new look and to showcase some of the other work that we love to do - lifestyle portraits.
I love to capture and preserve all of life’s fleeting moments - weddings and celebration of course, but also pregnancy, birth, and all the stages of both our children’s growth as well as our own.
Today I had the honour of photographing Stacy in the final weeks of pregnancy with her first baby. Absolutely stunning and with such a glow, I am looking forward to all of the photos we’ll be taking when baby arrives in the weeks ahead!
