Mama’s girl

Had a great photoshoot a couple months ago with a lovely family from Bedford. They took me to a new park I didn’t know about and we enjoyed some walks through the woods together. I snapped this lovely moment between mom and daughter when they weren’t looking.

Winters in Wonderland

I had a great sunny spring morning with the Winter family at Halls Harbour. They’re a great bunch and we instantly bonded over our love of Star Wars. Instead of saying ‘Cheese!’ I had them shouting ‘Eeeeewok!’ They were a lovely bunch of well behaved children (my very favorite kind). Here are a few shots...

They’re a cool new parenting shop in Dartmouth (check out their website here) and they were kind enough to open their doors to me for the day. I photographed several little Easter sweeties, some with rabbit ears,...

Lovely Linda

Sometimes you meet a client and really connect right away- almost like you’ve known each other for years! This was the case with Linda Brooks, an ECMA Award winning singer-songwriter who I was fortunate enough to work with a few weeks ago. Linda and I headed out to Point Pleasant Park for an early morning,...

Baby O

What an amazing morning with this little fella and his beautiful mom. I went out to visit their gorgeous home and it was a wonderful, nurturing experience. Little O was just a little over ten days old- and still cute and wrinkly and yawny and stretchy and baby-like. Beautiful and innocent! His mom was completely...

Brown family

A mutual friend introduced me to Adam, Carolyn, and Baby I. I absolutely LOVE when a child is naturally giggly and smiling- it makes my job really easy! They were a beautiful family and we had a lot of fun playing in their basement and venturing outside.

Ashley & Mark

A recent promotion has brought me a lot of new clients- and so far, they’ve all been a real delight. It’s really cool to meet so many new people from my area in such a short period of time, and get to spend an hour with them each. On a particularly snowy Saturday morning, I...

Cake smashing with Baby J

A first birthday! A fondant cake! Fun times ensued at my house. The cake was a bit hard, so it took Baby J a while to figure out what to do with it- but she got the hang eventually! I love these photoshoots- they are so unpredictable and fun .

I used to work with Jenn at the Chamber of Commerce- she’s fabulously smart and when she asked me to be her wedding photographer I was flattered, as she dabbles in photography herself and has a great eye. Looking forward to her August wedding – in the meantime here are some quickies from our engagement...

I love re-uniting with old friends from school. Tanya and I go way back- grade six, I think! When she and her husband Dennis asked me to spend some time at the Irving Centre with them, I was super excited to meet their little girl. The butterfly wings are a particular favorite!

Baby E

I can’t resist this little girl. She was such a darling. And so tiny- only 13 days old when I met her! Babies are so great to photograph, because they always let you know exactly what they need- either they’re awake, just hanging out and looking at you, sleeping, or they’re screaming in which case...

Chelsea & Matthew

I hadn’t heard from my girlfriend Chelsea in nearly eight years- we went in separate directions after leaving Acadia. We had a great time together there, suffering through classes and figuring ourselves out.
