Just so you know… we’re both awkward in front of the camera.”

I hear some version of this before almost every session 😂 followed closely by “you’re going to have to tell us what to do.”

And YES. I will.

I’m never going to bring you somewhere pretty, stand 20 feet away and expect you to magically know what to do with your hands.

I’ll give you direction. I’ll tell you where to stand, what to do, where to look but I also want to leave room for you two to actually be you.

We’ll walk around. Run like idiots. Dance terribly. Laugh. Take a second when something feels good. And probably make fun of ourselves somewhere in between.

Because your session shouldn’t feel like an hour-long photoshoot where you’re wondering “okay… what do I do now?”

It should feel like hanging out with your person while I third-wheel with a camera.

One of the sweetest parts of my job is getting to photograph people I love outside of it too. 🥹

These guys are my next-door neighbours, but somewhere along the way they became so much more than that. Being an only child means I never technically got the whole auntie experience… but these two little nuggets are about as close to a niece and nephew as I could possibly get.

I get to watch them grow up, hear the chaos from next door, love on them, and then somehow I’m also lucky enough to be the person behind the camera documenting these little stages of their lives.

Tonight was ice cream, running down sidewalks, sticky hands, zero interest in sitting still, and basically everything I love about photographing families.

Feeling pretty damn lucky that these are the people I get to call my neighbours.

Alissa & Sam

Getting to witness the faith, love, and unwavering support you two share throughout your wedding day was something truly special. There was so much intention behind every moment, and it was so clear just how deeply you love not only one another, but the life and faith you’re building together.

I’m beyond grateful that I got to be a small part of such a beautiful celebration and document a love that feels so genuine, grounded, and full of joy. Thank you for trusting me with these memories it was an absolute honour to witness the beginning of this next chapter for you both. 🤍

Officially home from Mexico 🇲🇽

It was hot, humid, sweaty… basically all of my favourite things as someone who does NOT handle the heat well. Pretty sure I lost half my body weight in sweat, but we survived.

All jokes aside, their day was absolutely beautiful. There’s something pretty special about getting to travel somewhere new and document two people surrounded by the people they love most and these two made every sweaty second worth it.

Mexico definitely tested me but Niki + Jake, I’d do it all over again for you two. So incredibly grateful I got to be a little part of this one. 🤍🌴

Lately I’ve been completely obsessed with off-camera flash.

Not because it’s trendy, but because of what it lets me create.

The depth. The mood. The contrast. The way it turns an ordinary space into something that feels cinematic.

I’m always chasing ways to make wedding photos feel a little more editorial while still feeling like you… and I think this might be my new favourite way to do it. 🤍

Proof that romance doesn’t disappear when the skies turn grey.

Sometimes it hides in empty hallways, rain-streaked windows, soaked sidewalks, and the moments in between.

Amanda & Anthony, thank you for trusting the process. These are the kinds of wedding days that stay with me long after I put my camera away.
