A bond between a mother and her son is something beautiful.

Kelsey and Lance were such a great pair to photograph.  Her love for her little boy was so strong and you could tell that he was her world - and vice-versa. They were just awesome to follow around and lose track of time with (I literally could have photographed these two forever!). 

Also, can we just talk about how stinkin' cute and great their shirts are?! Kelsey had a friend of her's make them. Such a great idea and made their shoot even more unique!

The Gingras family are the first family shoot I had since our move to the Bay of Quinte area. This shoot is back in 2016 (it is now 2018 when I am writing this) but it is still one of my favourites! 

They are the sweetest family, up for anything - it helps that Ashleigh does photography as well, so the family is conditioned for this kind of thing, haha! It was a quick shoot but they are such a beautiful family that almost every shot was perfect (I won't say every shot because I am not perfect).

This shoot had a mix of everything!

A beautiful family, a couple so in love, a curious kid, and a baby on the way. And, one of my favourite things, an few outfit changes!

The Peterson's are such a wonderful family that I have had the privilege to photograph more than once (see Baby Jensen). They are an incredibly kind family that I am so happy to have met and worked with through such an exciting time in their lives. 

This shoot is one that I was both pretty anxious about but also excited for. Mature family shoots are not my forte - most kids love me, but adults.. I'm not really sure. Having known the Carter family for many-a-years, my anxiety cooled off once I sat in the car with them on the way to our location.

This family, even after years of not seeing them, is exactly the same - just a little bit older. They are such a great family to be around if you are looking to have a good laugh, because they are major gigglers! They are also such a kind family who have a tight bond, which I come to find less common to see these days.

But really, I could go on about how great this family is, but I am sure you will be able to tell just from their faces in these photos!

PS. Can we just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful Acadia University is?! No wonder my cousin got married here years back. What a stunning location for photos even on a dreary winter's day!

When you get a new puppy, photos are a MUST - especially when you get a puppy that grows double the size it was a week or two before! And I LOVE puppies. I cannot get enough of them - hence why I have three dogs... and want more (#mystrangeaddiction). So, when Lynsey asked if I could get a few shots of her, her husband and their newest love, I couldn't (and wouldn't) say no - getting free puppy hugs is all the payment I need (literally, if you have a puppy and want photos, hit up yo girl!).

Now that I have annoyed you for 1 minute discussing my odd obsession with puppies - you will have the same obsession once you see her! - here is Lynsey, Craig, and their Bernese Mountain dog puppy, Piper!

Engagements are wonderful and weddings are amazing, but after that, most people stop with photos until they have children, or maybe wait for their 10 year anniversary. But I think that every anniversary is as important and special as the one before and should be documented!

Caitlin and Kalen felt kind of the same way! They were the FIRST couple/ people I photographed after our move to the Bay of Quinte area. And when I saw them all dressed up, I really was so excited! I had no idea what I was getting into, who I was going to meet, or what they would be like (still like that with every shoot, but this was all new to me!). 

These two were the perfect introduction to not only the area, but also to my photography journey!

Flashback to summer 2016 and my final shoot in Manitoba before we moved.

Jessica and Joseph were not only a super fun couple to photograph, but they are also from Nova Scotia - which makes them automatically awesome in my books! Their sense of humour was spot on and they fed off of each other so well, making this shoot a breeze to photograph!

Maternity photography/ shoots were never something that I thought I would get into, but they are some of my favourite! It's so incredible to witness two people so in love with someone that they haven't even met. 

A little over a year ago, I did a maternity shoot for Courtney and Mitch, and just a few days ago I was able to meet the little love of their lives! 

Sydney was photo ready, sporting the sweetest smile from her carseat to the end of her family shoot. She won me over instantly and reminded me why I love what I do and how much I love family sessions!

It means the world to me when I am given the chance to witness the growth of a family. To see their love explode through the camera and capture it forever.
