When Holly reached out, saying that she wanted to do indoor steamy photos at her home in Petawawa, I was all over that. What a perfect venue in April, when the weather can be hit or miss!  She’s a photographer herself (hollyanneportraiture), so being able to collaborate and make her ideas come to life.  Her […]

This session fit something that had been on my photography bucket list for the LONGEST time: A SUNRISE SESSION. And these two couldn’t have picked a better spot for a sunrise session, but I might be getting too ahead of myself already! I met Shannon & Ryan when I was looking for couples willing to […]

I am SUPER excited to talk about Baylie & Chris today! I actually went to high school with Baylie, so to be asked to capture her special moments is a pretty big deal. They chose a location special to them, her father’s house in Pembroke, ON, right on the water. It was an absolutely perfect […]

Ottawa River Engagement – Baylie & Chris

When Robert reached out to me because of a friend referring him for planning a proposal, I was STOKED. Surprise proposals are some of my absolute favourite things to capture.  We went together before the day to make sure we were going to be at the same spot. He picked Petawawa Terrace, as that’s where […]

When Portia, the owner of The Urban Lounge in Petawawa, reached out for some mentorship on how to use a camera for her business, I screamed. Literally. Mentoring & teaching is a passion of mine & something I would love to do more of, so when she reached out to ask if I would be […]

When Mack & Lily Hair reached out to me to help redo their branding photos, I was ECSTATIC. As someone who gets her hair done by them & has for as long as they’ve been in the Valley, I couldn’t help but jump up & down when I got their booking.  When I arrived to […]
