I have been photographing this beautiful mama and daughter since Amélie was just two weeks old, and each time it's so much fun getting to see how much she's grown! This St. Albert motherhood session was so special - it was documented in celebration of Amélie's first birthday, which truly is, in large part, a celebration of Carike's first year of motherhood. 

Watching the beautiful bond these two share is quite something. I love watching a mother and child interact so naturally with one another, and my big inspiration for this session was to just allow these two to be, exactly as they are. This meant lots of sweet snuggles and quiet whispers as mama spoke to Amélie in the most soothing, nurturing way. It also meant lots of kisses - my favourite to observe, as Amélie loves to grab her mama's face and go all in! It was truly magical watching mama and baby love on one another, and it was a pleasure getting to capture this special time for them.

There’s something a little extra special about including grandma in motherhood sessions; after all, so much of what we know as moms we first learned from our own mothers. So when Ayla asked to include her mom in her motherhood session, I was so excited! We spent the morning running around grandma’s yard, picking flowers, […]

One of my favourite things about lifestyle photography is getting a glimpse at the behind the scenes, real life moments. I always ask if there is anything special that mamas like to do with their little ones that could help personalize a session and truly capture the memories that you’ll want to remember forever. When […]

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 […]
