I want to let you in on a little secret: almost every single mom who books a newborn session with me sends me some version of the same message before her appointment. It goes something like this —
“Just a heads up — the house is a bit of a mess. I haven’t slept in four days. I still look pregnant. Is that okay?”
And my answer is always the same: “Yes. A thousand times, yes. Just come.”

Learn More about me

A former paramedic turned photographer, and I still show up the same way: calm, present, and focused on what matters most.

I’ve been there — the chaos of raising kids, how fast it all goes, and the moments you almost miss because you’re busy managing everything else.

That’s why I’m so intentional at every session. I’m paying attention to the energy, to what you need, and to what’s actually happening in front of me.

Clients always tell me how easy it felt — and that’s the point. So you’re not stuck in your head… you’re actually in the moment.

Based in Sudbury, Ontario, I work with families and couples across Northern Ontario and beyond.
