more about me
I have always loved art and enjoyed many creative endeavours, but I have found that photographing couples in love and sweet families has been, by far, the most rewarding fulfillment for me. Being a photographer is truly my calling.
My heart behind photography is my passion for serving others and love for connecting with people. Getting to be there on the most important day of your life, capturing the most precious moments, and building a friendship with you along the way gets me so excited to document your love. Every couple has a special, unique, beautiful story, and I'm honoured to get a glimpse of your happiness and be the one to preserve it for you.

quick facts about me
I met my husband, Ryan on a blind date (well almost, I had seen a photo of him a few days before). I had just moved to Toronto from Windsor (where I grew up) and his best friend was working at the same company I was transferred too. After hearing how amazing he was, I finally agreed to meet him since I was excited to make some friends anyways, so why not! To make the situation more comfortable for me, his friend suggested we go on a double date, just in case I felt nervous meeting a total stranger. The date went so well that here we are, 10 years later, madly in love with three beautiful boys.
Our love
Choosing Your Photographer
A decision worth thinking about. Since marriage is a big deal and your wedding is a big deal, choosing your photographer is also a big deal. You want a photographer you can vibe with, that gets you, knows to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and someone that you can trust, so you can relax knowing that they will capture your wedding day perfectly as it unfolds. You want someone that truly cares about you and is comfortable to be around (let's face it, you'll be hanging with me more than your future spouse). I can guarantee you, I can provide you with all of this because I know how huge of an honour it is to photograph your amazing, joy-filled, celebration-worthy wedding. If this sounds like you, then we're probably a perfect fit.

So, for anyone that knows me, they will tell you I'm bubbly, kind-hearted and laugh way too loud . And it's true! I'm also a hopeless romantic, I love sappy movies and will shed quite a few tears watching the Notebook. The first time I met Ryan, it was love at first sight. I looked into his eyes, and it felt like I've known him my entire life. He came into my life at a time that was totally unexpected. I'm so thankful I found this amazing man who is not only the most amazing husband but he's the best dad to our sweet, wonderful and wild boys. So here I am, getting sappy on you. But, if you're anything like me, genuine, sentimental, and bubbly, then I'm your girl!
