Susan, Ashley & Blake invited me into their home and backyard for a little family fun. I love capturing authentic and natural play with a little one like this.  Family photography, simplified.

With an active little fella like Hudson, it's not about nailing the perfect pose. It's simply about capturing some precious family fun and time spent together on a beautiful day.

A great session with a sweet family on the Baille Ard Nature Trails in Sydney -- and a few in-studio, dressed up fancy.

The Lewis family invited me to their home and golf course, Alderdale Greens to capture their family in true form. Thankfully, the rain drops parted JUST long enough for us to venture to a few holes and the tractor barn. Such a fun family!

Any family photo session that wraps up with a cannonball into the pool, is OK in my books. ha! Nothing says "family" quite like photos in your own backyard. More and more families are opting to keep it close to home and have images captured of them in their day-to-day environments. The Munro family spend most of their

Check out some of my favorite photos taken for the Maxner family. Mom Lindsey, is a recent CBU nursing grad so we worked in a few gown photos into their session as well. With two high energy little gals, Zoey and Avery, I can imagine it must be a relief to be finished up and can settle

No other session has made me sob with happiness quite this much. Sarita is my longest and one of my dearest friends. Almost 30 years we've known each other. So, to witness the happiness and love practically bubbling over and shared between she, her awesome husband Colin and their beautiful daughter Priya, can not be topped! Family

A terrific session with a terrific family; in their own back yard.

How do you tame 2 very active little boys to stay still long enough for photos? You don't. Don't try. The worst thing you can do is force them to also, because it usually results in tears and pouts. Neither of which we hope for on "family photo day". Your best bet is to let them do

To help celebrate Linda & Lorne's anniversary this summer, their children arranged a family photo shoot to capture their time together and to create some summer memories. Congratulations and all the best to you and your beautiful family.

When my friend Ang asked me if I could photograph her family when they were home this summer on their beautiful property, I was delighted. Even more delighted to see them wearing "team" blues

Maria and Nico are two of the cutest little munchkins I've ever photographed.  Maria is a little lady, through and through. Curious, imaginative, not to mention patient and overjoyed to have a great little brother like Nico. It took a few minutes to figure out how to ease her out of her shy little shell, but a

Little Eoghan Patrick is brand-spankin' new to the Lynch family, and this summer was his first visit home to Cape Breton to meet his aunts, uncle, and grandparents. I was so honored that they asked me to be apart of their excitement, and to capture their first family photos with their new little man. What made the

The MacNeil's were a hoot! They kindly invited me out to their home for another backyard photo shoot. These are my favs because I'm able to capture them in an environment where they're totally comfortable and at ease. This is particularly helpful with little ones like Dylan, who I THINK would be easily distracted. hehe  What a

Darren and I have been working on various freelance projects for a few years now. He's the programming genius behind the new Fortress of Louisbourg Association website. (Insert promo plug here! haha) To thank him for his many hours of dependable work, we arranged a family photo shoot in beautiful Petersfield, Westmount, for he and his lovely

I love the fall. Even more

Mandy and Andrew wanted some playful and less formal photos taken of their family of five. We took a couple of hours and just played around their neighborhood playground -- you can't get less formal than that! This type of shoot is my favorite, because it gives me some time with each child. I take them aside
