Mom,

This month has felt heavier.
I’ve been off…sleep thin, creativity quiet, just a little unaligned.
✨
I can’t believe it’s been twelve years.
It still feels like yesterday I got the call that you were gone.
Some memories remain vivid; the disbelief, the weight of that day, the feeling of everything changing at once.
✨
So much shadow lived there. And yet somehow, even then, there was light….a small, stubborn light that refused to go out.
✨
Losing you ignited something in me.
Instead of staying the lost little girl, I said: okay… as hard as this is - let’s just do it. Ten years.
Hundreds of couples, families, and extraordinary humans I’ve had the honor to capture - because of your light.
✨
You were my muse before I even knew what that meant.
And somehow, you still are.
✨
In every story, every script, every frame I’ve ever held, and now in this chapter of my life…you’re there.
✨
You’re the sunbeam that hits my face when I need a hug.
The cardinal that appears before a shoot, as if to say, let’s go - you’ve got this. The wind that reminds me to keep going.
✨
This year feels different though.
✨
Paityn cried wishing she could meet her Nana Moe Moe, asking why you had to leave. And something in me shifted. Because grief changes shape.
✨
Some days it is love.
Some days it is anger.
Angry that addiction took you.
Angry that you aren’t here.
✨
But alongside that anger is knowing: you were more than the darkness that took you.
✨
I worry sometimes because I can’t remember your voice the way I used to. There aren’t many pictures, not many tangible pieces left to reach for, so what lives inside me feels sacred.
✨
Each year grief becomes a double-edged sword. Time carries me forward, but time also feels like the enemy,
because with it, some memories soften, blur, drift just out of reach. I’m afraid of losing you twice. You are no longer in the sharp details. But, I guess love changes form you are in the atmosphere of my life.
✨
In light.
In movement.
In instinct.
In the way I turn toward people with tenderness.
In the way I chose creation over collapse.

I miss you.
I forgive you.
I carry you.

Always. I love you! Hope your dancing in the sky💕

Happy Valentine’s Day 🤍
✨
Those who know me know that I love love - it’s my fuel, my spark, and the heartbeat behind everything I create and capture.
✨
To every couple who trusted me with a piece of your story this year - thank you. Inviting me into your connection, your tenderness, your joy… it’s something I never take lightly. These are the moments that fill my heart and remind me why I do what I do.
✨
This past year has been one of reflection, growth, and quiet transformation for me, and I feel so grateful to keep evolving alongside the love stories I get to witness and hold.
✨
My heart is so full 🤍
So excited for what’s ahead.

Not just a wedding day, but a family story - one told through the quiet in-between moments, the belly laughs, the tight hugs, and the way love shows up when no one is looking.
✨
This day wasn’t about perfection - it was about connection. The gentle pause before stepping into the dress, hands held while walking together, laughter echoing through the room, and the way this love has already grown, shifted, and deepened through life’s chapters. A love that feels lived-in, grounded, and full.
✨
As the evening unfolded, the reception became a true reflection of that joy - laughter-filled moments, a magician keeping everyone on their toes, and a dance floor that carried the celebration late into the night.
✨
Jaclyn + Sean, thank you for trusting me to witness and document your story - not just as a wedding, but as a reflection of everything you’ve already built together. Your day was layered with meaning, warmth, and so much heart, and it was truly an honour to capture it.
✨
And to the incredible vendor team and to@all the vendors who brought this day to life — thank you for your talent, care, and collaboration. It truly takes a village.
✨
Lastly, to my bestie - thank you for being my second set of eyes, my calm, my support, and my steady presence. Couldn’t do days like this without you. 🤍

When Morgan first reached out, he told me he wanted to recreate their very first date — the place where their story began. He wanted it to feel meaningful, romantic, and full of story — the kind of moment that feels straight out of a Nicholas Sparks novel.
💫
Every detail was intentional: a quiet walk through High Park, the hum of the trees, the crunch of golden leaves beneath their feet. And then, in the same spot where they once shared first-date butterflies, Morgan got down on one knee.
✨
From Grace’s pure shock to the tears, laughter, and that embrace that said this is our forever — every second was raw and real. You could feel the love, the joy, the disbelief — that this was really happening.
✨
As someone who’s only captured two surprise proposals, my heart was racing right alongside them — nerves, adrenaline, and pure awe. This one will always hold a special place in my heart.
✨
+ — what an absolute honour it was to capture this moment for you both. From the quiet anticipation to Grace’s real and raw reaction — the happy tears, laughter, and that embrace that said this is our forever — every second was pure magic.
✨
High Park was the perfect backdrop for the moment where it all began — your first date reimagined as the start of forever. A full-circle moment I’ll never forget.

So much love to you both — thank you for trusting me and putting your faith in me. 🤍

Happy Tuesday, lovelies 💛
✨
Amanda & Andrew — full of light, laughter, and that easy kind of connection that feels like home.
✨
From the way Amanda’s laughter filled the shoreline to the way Andrew held her close, everything about their session felt warm, relaxed, and beautifully present. There’s a calm between them — the kind you find when you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, with exactly the right person.
✨
We wandered through the Bluffs as the sun dipped low — barefoot, windswept, and wrapped in golden light. Each moment unfolded effortlessly — full of movement, emotion, and a love that radiates from the inside out.
✨
Amanda & Andrew, thank you for sharing your light and energy with me. What a joy it was to witness this chapter of your story. Your love is joyful, grounding, and so beautifully true.

✨ The countdown to October is officially on — and I cannot wait to celebrate what’s ahead! 🥹

A (belated) but heartfelt happy 40th birthday to my dear friend — one of the strongest, fiercest, and most beautiful souls I know. 💕
✨
You’ve been there from the very beginning. Back when I was capturing the grit and glory of game day — immersed in the energy of athletes and action — you were the one who said, “Hey… can you photograph my niece’s 1st birthday… and maybe take a few photos of Christian and I too?” 😄
✨
And just like that, you opened the door to a whole new chapter — over a decade now - where I began documenting life’s most tender, love-filled moments. 💛
✨
From your engagement to Christian (my first-ever shoot at the Bluffs — now one of my ultimate fav photo location spots), to your wedding day, maternity, the arrival of your sweet baby girls, and now this next beautiful milestone for you and your amazing family …
✨
True to form, you brought me another first — a gender reveal cake smash! 🎂💙
Simple. Sweet. Meaningful. Captured at home, where the girls could be totally themselves — barefoot twirls, belly laughs, and frosting everywhere. Yummiest cake ever!!!!
✨
Some people come into your life and change your entire path without even knowing it. Michelle, you’ve been that person for me — I don’t have enough words to express how truly blessed I am to have you in my life - I’m forever thankful. 🥰
✨
Thank you for trusting me with your memories all these years and always inspiring me to grow as an artist. Love you all to the moon and back - and I cannot to wait to meet the wee man!!! Cheers to more amazing adventures ahead.💫

“Rapscallion in Hamilton is the restaurant that we’ve celebrated so many personal and relationship milestones in. It’s a very special place for both of us.” — Lauren and Kevin
💫
When Lauren and Kev first shared their vision about their engagement session — a little bit of The Great Gatsby, a little bit modern romance — I knew it was going to be something special. What I didn’t expect was how unforgettable the entire evening would be.
✨
We met at Aldershot GO, carpooled to the restaurant together, and by the time we arrived at — a spot full of moody charm, vintage elegance, and the most unreal food I truly ever tasted — it already felt like we’d known each other for years. From the first laugh to the last bite, Lauren and Kev were the kind of people who make you feel instantly at home. (I actually met Lauren as a bridesmaid at her cousin’s wedding — so it felt like a reunion in the best way.)
✨
They welcomed me with open arms, treated me to dinner and drinks (I’ll never look at broccoli the same again), and created such a relaxed, joy-filled space that made it feel like I was just tagging along on a date night. I left that evening with a full heart, full belly, and a huge smile on my face.
✨
and — thank you, truly. For your warmth, your generosity, your laughter, and the way you made me feel like more than just your photographer. Your kindness reminded me of why I do what I do, and how powerful it is to document love like yours. I’m so grateful to have been part of this chapter — and I cannot wait to be by your side again at capturing the next one. Count down is on!!! 💕💕💕

Cristina and Marco… where do I even begin?
✨
This session was filled with the softest kind of magic — the kind that lives in quiet moments, knowing smiles, and the way two people already love someone they haven’t even met yet.
✨
From gentle laughter to cradling the cutest bump ever!!! Every frame felt like a pause in time. The way Marco looked at Cristina, the sonograms in hand, the onesies laid out with love… it was all a beautiful reminder that the best is yet to come.
✨t and , thank you for letting me capture this sweet chapter of your love story. Your baby boy is already wrapped in so much love — I can’t wait for you to meet him.

Suspended in Strength 💫
Where grace meets gravity — and a new life begins.
✨
Cristina moved with a kind of power that didn’t need to be loud — it lived in the way she flowed through the air, in how she carried new life with such quiet grace and undeniable strength.
✨
This session wasn’t just about documenting a moment in time — it was about honouring the transformation, the in-between. That beautiful in-between where she’s grounded in who she’s been, and rising into who she’s becoming. 💕
✨
From strength to stillness, from soft fabric to strong lines — every frame was a reflection of Cristina’s story: powerful, ethereal, and full of motion.
✨t , thank you for letting me witness and capture this chapter of your story. You are truly an inspiration — your strength, presence, and grace gave me all the feels. This one will stay with me forever - you are truly incredible. 💕💕💕
✨
To Cristina — and every mama finding her way:
You are grace. You are power. You are magic in motion.
Thank you for letting me capture your light.

Nothing prepares you for the moment your best friend becomes a mama—and suddenly, you’re crying behind your camera. Some sessions just hit different—and this one went straight to the heart.
💫
I had the absolute honour of documenting K’leigh’s sweet baby boy, and man, it gave me all the feels and goosebumps.
💫
Tiny hands, soft snuggles, and that baby smell you forget about until you’re right back in it again. Pure magic.
💫
K’leigh has always been that calming, cozy soul—nurturing, gentle, full of light. Watching her step into motherhood has been the most beautiful thing to witness.
💫
And then there’s Riley. His big, curious eyes. That little smile. Capturing these first moments of their new story… it felt like freezing love in time.

I didn’t expect to fall this hard, but I did.

And somehow, with every click of the shutter, I just loved him more. 💕💕💕

Happy Birthday to my beautiful, talented, and kind-hearted Paityn! Pea, you are truly the greatest gift, and I feel so incredibly lucky to be your mom. Daddy and I—and all your family—are beyond proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished this year. You amaze me every single day with your warmth, your determination, and that sunshine spirit of yours. Watching you grow and push yourself leaves me in awe.
✨
March has always been a hard month for me, filled with so much pain and loss. But then you came into my life—a gift from heaven, a light in my darkest days. I truly believe that Nana Moe Moe sent you to me, and in so many ways, you saved me. You are love, you are joy, you are proof that even in grief, there is beauty. I love you more than words can say, today and always. Happy Birthday, my sweet girl. I love you to the moon and back. ❤️
