Mini Session fine print and FAQ's:

How do I book a session? Email me with your preferred time/date (and a second choice). I will confirm via email your confirmed spot. The full fee is due upon booking to reserve your spot. Last year these sessions booked up quickly resulting in a wait list so don't delay!

What if we are not feeling well the day of the session? What is your policy for Covid-19?

If you or a member of your family has any symptoms of illness, or you have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for Covid-19, your session will either be re-booked to a different date or your session fee will be refunded.

The same goes for me! If myself or one of my family members has any symptoms of illness or we find out that we have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for Covid-19, your session will either be re-booked to a different date or your session fee will be refunded.

Where do the sessions take place?  Mini-sessions will be located in the west end of the city in a park-like setting. Location and details are confirmed the week prior to the date.

I'm worried my kids might not behave... My best advice for parents is to relax and have fun and to not worry about smiling for the camera. The best thing you can do to keep the session moving smoothly is to engage your children with silly jokes, games, tickling, cuddling, songs, etc. If they are being little buggers, just laugh it off. Please don't offer food or drink during the session (save these as treats for after we are finished). 

I'm worried about only having 20 minutes for the session. What if my kids don't cooperate during that timeDepending on the size of your family and your life-stage, it might be a better fit for you to do a full session, which offers flexibility for timing, location and breaks. If you're not sure what's best for your family, send me a note and we can figure it out together. 

What if it rains? In the event of inclement weather, your session will either be re-booked to a different date or your session fee will be refunded.

What is included in the fee? The fee covers your 20-minute outdoor session as well 20–25 high resolution digital files. Within 4 weeks, you will receive a link to an online, password-protected gallery where your images will be available for direct download for 6 weeks.

What happens if we need to cancel? Email me and we will figure out an alternate plan for your session. While I generally do not offer refunds without valid reasons, these are crazy times and I am more than happy to reschedule if necessary or make exceptions due to circumstances. I’m a mom, I get it.

These sessions are always a hit and I can't wait to spend time with some of my favourite families and to meet new ones too!

Kim is a fellow photographer who has photographed my family and become a friend over the years. It was a dream to spend a morning with her family as they recently welcomed a new little guy into their lives.

This is a long set to share… I just couldn’t narrow it down.

calling on the universe

A friend recently posted on Facebook "a call to the universe" for a few of things she would like to attract into her work-life, and it got me to thinking about my own work and what the next little while would have in store. I took the summer off this year to spend it with my girls and I honestly was not prepared AT ALL when September hit and we had to go back to reality this past Tuesday. I sheepishly responded to emails and apologized for delays. 

I had prepared this blog post back in March but never hit the post-button. I have no idea why. Was I feeling nervous or insecure? Probably. Either way, something held me back. But the truth is that I really enjoyed this session and I should have shared it back in March! Along with so many other sessions that I have loved. And I'd like more of these in my life. So here's my call to the universe as I get my work-life back in to order this week. I'd really love to book more maternity and newborn sessions this fall and winter – cozy, cuddly, casual, easy, no-fuss, lots of love, forget the stress, be in the moment – type of sessions. There it is, out there for the universe.

I'm going back to the summer with this one, which has me thinking of hazy warm days and a late-setting sun. The clouds were coming and going so we rolled with it and made the most of the moving light. This family let me slip into their space and didn't try to change anything or be something they're not, which in my mind made it totally perfect. 

the wonder weeks | Toronto newborn + lifestyle photographer

For baby E and his parents who shared a quiet morning with me in their new home. Even though my girls are out of this stage now, it still tugs at my heart to be around a little one at this age. Discovering their hands and feet, taking delight in music and books, nothing but smiles for mom and dad, babbling and quiet cuddles. It's just so darn cute and it goes by way too quickly. 

Alyssa + Bump | Toronto maternity lifestyle photographer

Alyssa is the reason I started an Instagram feed for my photography clients. We were at a wedding last year and she was like "how can you not have a IG feed for your business?!?!". I've used instagram forever, but I love it for chronologically organizing iPhone photos of my everyday life [Side note: this is what IG was originally intended for. However I feel I might be one of the last photographers out there who still posts tacky, sometimes rather crappy (albeit funny) photos from their phone]. Anyways, I've slowly been posting photos of my clients on a separate feed and Alyssa is usually one of the first to like them (thank you!!) and it has been a really nice way to share some of my favourites :)

Alyssa's baby is due very soon and I was super pumped to spend time with her in her friend's awesome loft. He let us hang out there while he was at work, but forgot to mention the 14-foot dead Christmas tree hanging out in the middle of the room. I've had to move many things out of the way during a session in my time, but a large tree skeleton was a new one for me!  Luckily it's no problem for me to have pine needles stuck in my hair – it compliments the frazzled mom look I already have going on. 

Alyssa and Justin, I'm excited to meet your little guy very soon!
