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.

I can’t quite think of a better morning than one spent photographing a sweet mama and her babe in a gorgeous studio! Little Mila was having the time of her life, snuggling up on mama, exploring, eating the occasional cheerio and smiling big, beautiful smiles for the camera. Seriously, this St. Albert motherhood session was […]
When I first met this sweet family for their maternity session, I instantly felt like I was spending time with old friends. So when baby Olivia finally arrived, it was such a treat getting to spend the morning with them again, but this time, in their home for their newborn session! Their calm, relaxed nature […]
While home for my best friend’s wedding, I also had the pleasure of photographing this little cutie pie – who happens to be my best friend’s nephew! The Hartman family welcomed their first {human} son into the world just a few days before his auntie’s wedding day, so there was so much to celebrate for […]
Every once in a while, all the elements come together to make a perfect session. This was what happened with this fam!

On the night you were born, the moon shone with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see you and the night wind whispered, “Life will never be the same.”Because there had never been anyone like you… ever in the world. – Nancy Tillman I had the pleasure of capturing this beautiful family’s first […]
“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 […]
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 […]
