I was just a new mama in 2013 with a dream.
When I had my first, I would always be designing photo sessions in my head and nagging my friend to come capture them for me. Once I had my second in 2014 I decided I needed to pick up my own camera.
I went to the store and held so many cameras. I needed to feel it in my hands.
Nikon became my best friend and I left the store with my first camera baby that day.
I practiced on my kids, my friends , anyone who would let me. I took classes at Henrys and a wedding photography course at Durham College. I continued to learn until I launched my business in 2015. I learn and grow every year. I will never stop being inspired.
Before I photography, I went to school for social work, hair styling/makeup and wedding planner!
Don't get me wrong I still LOVE to plan a good wedding but capturing the beauty is where my heart is happiest.
I'll be happy to help you plan every step of the way!
I can't wait to capture all of your magic & love.

If you believe in a little magic & sparkle,
you’re in the right place! I've been capturing weddings for 9 years and to say it’s my passion is an understatement.
I love to create light & and use flash to add a timeless vibe!
I love to capture soft, dreamy and romantic portraits you can hang on your wall for a lifetime.
These moments go by so quickly and I want you to relive that emotion and beauty through classic forever images.
I have hosted photography workshops, coached and mentored other photographers. I love sharing my passion through teaching.
When I'm not capturing your magical wedding or editing I'm hanging out with my 6 children.
When they are sleeping I'm watching a corny drama on Netflix with a glass of wine or sitting outside by the fire (weather dependent of course).
I love a good charcuterie board while hanging with my husband and family.
I can't wait to capture some magic with you!
