Back to school is officially on their minds… 📚✏️

While I was photographing my kids, I asked them what they’re most looking forward to about going back to school. Their answers gave me a pretty good idea of what’s important in their little world right now. ❤️

Curious what the kids are most excited about this year?

I’m so excited to be part of the Local Markets in Durham Region, ON Fall Market this year! 🍂🤎

Years ago, I had the opportunity to be a vendor with Picks and Giggles when I was creating and selling my illustrations. That experience introduced me to so many wonderful people, and I have such fond memories of being part of this community.

Now I’m thrilled to be coming back, this time to showcase my photography! 📸

If you’re looking for a fun way to spend the day, come check out the market on September 27th from 10 AM to 3 PM at Kingsway College in Oshawa. There will be 100 Canadian businesses under one roof, so there will be SO many amazing local vendors to discover and support.

I’d absolutely love to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones! Come shop local, say hello, and fall in love with local. 🍁✨

$5 admission | September 27 | 10 AM to 3 PM | Kingsway College, Oshawa

Sibling portraits are such a special part of a personality portrait session. After capturing each child individually, I love bringing siblings together for a few photos at the very end.
It’s about capturing their connection, the giggles, the silliness, and the little moments that show who they are together. Years from now, these images won’t just remind you what they looked like, but what they were like together at this exact age.

The most meaningful portraits aren’t about perfect poses or saying “cheese.” They’re about genuine laughter, cheeky smiles, curious little looks, and all the moments that make your child uniquely them.
Whether they’re full of energy, quietly observing, or somewhere in between, my private studio sessions are all about capturing their true personality.

These are the images you’ll treasure for years to come, reminding you exactly who they were at this beautiful stage of life. 🤍

One simple direction: ‘Give me a little attitude.’
The result? A portrait full of personality, confidence, and just the right amount of sass 📸

Black and white photography reminds us that the most memorable portraits aren’t about colour, they’re about connection 🤍

One glance up.
One glance down.
A world waiting to be discovered.

Sometimes the best hairstyle is the one that comes with giggles. Twirls, ponytails, messy strands, and all the magic is in the fun. ✨📸
