This past weekend I had the absolute honour of taking a 2 day newborn posing workshop with Kelly Brown. I knew it was going to be an incredible opportunity for my business and I was not mistaken. I left the workshop feeling confident and excited to return to Vancouver Island and my little studio and get busy. What I didn’t expect to leave with was a renewed sense of self and a deeper appreciation for my family. On day...
A few weeks back I had the honour of photographing a beautiful family awaiting the arrival of their first baby. She showed up with one of her own gowns and it blew me away. It wasn’t an actual maternity gown, it was a gown she wore for her rehearsal dinner a few years prior. So um… two things, its gorgeous and WHAT?!

They decided a Lifestyle Newborn Session was the best fit for them and we were able to squeeze a very quick session (in the door and back...
This year I was so honoured to take over the Mother’s Day show that has been running for the past 19 years at the Bayside Resort in Parksville BC. I had so much fun meeting new Moms and documenting their connection with their beautiful kids. My husband is a good sport and built and stained the backdrops for the show and they were ingenious in their design. I am able to use them for backdrops or...
