Packing your hospital bag for your newborn’s arrival can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.
I recommend starting early – sometime in your second trimester when you still have energy and can slowly set aside items that you won’t need until after baby’s arrival.
At the very latest, I recommend having your bag packed by 35 weeks to ensure that it’s ready to go in case of a surprise early arrival. After all, babies tend to arrive on their own timeline!

Started off my weekend of Motherhood sessions with these two gorgeous ladies. Briar Rose was absolutely loving the camera and made my job the easiest thing in the world! Thank you for inviting me into your home to watch you love on your sweetie pie, Tamara! Hope you enjoy a *few* of my favourites from […]
Part two of Harper’s first birthday session is just as beautiful as the first! This little sweetie loved her time in front of the camera with mom and dad, and may have loved her birthday balloons even more! Happy first birthday, Harper!
“Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is… and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.” – Donna Ball I feel […]
What better way to celebrate a very special first birthday than to fill baby’s crib with balloons and feed her cupcakes!? Well, Addison may not have been so sure how she felt about the balloons, but she sure loved the cupcakes! In fact, I’ve never seen one devoured so quickly! This sweet one-year-old is so […]
Not only did I get to visit with sweet baby Cadence at just hours old, but I also got to capture the Deschamps family in their first few weeks at home. Cadence’s nursery was beautifully decorated by her mama, inspired by the classic Peter Rabbit stories. Handmade touches, such as quilts lovingly sewn by grandma, […]
I was honoured to capture our good friends’ baby girl, Cadence Joy, who arrived in the world just yesterday. She was a surprise, but I knew all along that she was a she. Her sweet little dress and socks were the very same pair worn by her mama, as well as both her aunties, when […]
Christmas is always a magical time of year, but even moreso when it’s your baby’s very first Christmas. Her first time decorating {aka undecorating} the Christmas tree, her first attempt at eating all the pine needles her little hands can discover, the first twinkle lights ever to catch her eye. All the little things that […]
I had the pleasure of capturing these two love birds on what was one of the coldest days we’ve had all winter! We snuck outside to one of my favourite trails behind my house, captured as many photos as possible without our fingers completely falling off and then quickly rushed back home! Despite the cold, […]
We have been blessed so far this season with the most gorgeous winter weather; piles and piles of soft, fluffy snow and mild temperatures just begging you to throw on your snowsuit and get outside and explore. This day in particular was one that sticks out as one of my favourites so far this season; […]
Is there anything more fun than a baby trying cake for the very first time?! This cutie pie was so entertaining during her first birthday cake smash; she was having such fun playing that she had to be persuaded to actually taste the delicious cake. Once she finally gave it a try, she would take a […]
