I have always had a passion for photography with my parents gifting my first DSLR camera when I was 14 yrs old. Taking this passion for photography and turning it into a career has been nothing but AMAZING! Capturing lasting memories for you and your family has been SO special.
I'm also a nurse at the Stollery Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and spend my days around some of the smallest little humans. I love love LOVEEEE all things BABIES so newborn photography will always have a special place in my heart as it kind of meshes both of my passions into one.
I have two large rescue dogs and they are my children. I will always support animals in photoshoots because they are also part of your family and deserve to be in the spot light with you!
I love being creative with sessions, so if you're looking for something different or unique to you - lets try it!
