Baby H | London Ontario Newborn Lifestyle Session

The first time I’d been inside R & M’s adorable home was on their wedding day, documenting getting ready photos. It was so special to be back, this time to capture photos of their sweet baby boy in all his newborn cuteness. I loved their fun rainbow nursery design, and how their dog was such a big part of the session, always snuggling close by. The best thing about newborn lifestyle sessions is the ease and comfort of being home, and I feel like these photos really captured that cozy at home feeling. Here are some favourites from the session!

Susan & Andy | The London Club Wedding

Susan and Andy’s micro-wedding at The London Club was such a delight. They left plenty of time in their schedule to wander around the downtown area taking couple portraits, and I just love the mix of candid and posed shots we were able to get. The wedding colours were stunning, and the florals tied everything together so beautifully. I fell head over heels with Susan’s breathtaking bouquet! My favourite part of this day was probably the moment Susan and Andy’s little boy decided to join the party during their vow exchange. It could not have been more perfect! Here are some favourites from the day.

Baby C | London Ontario Newborn Lifestyle Photography

I first met Vanessa and Josh when they booked a couple’s mini session. Since then, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of documenting maternity, newborn lifestyle and family sessions for them. It’s been so fun to watch their family grow over the years. Baby Carmen’s newborn lifestyle session was a dream—I especially loved capturing big brother Lincoln with his baby sister. And can we talk about this space themed nursery!? So adorable and unique. Here are some favourites from the session!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Brittany & Gavin's Backyard Stratford Wedding

What a fun-filled day this was! Backyard weddings are always a favourite for me, and Britney and Gavin’s beautiful Stratford backyard wedding was no exception. Gavin is from Australia, and I absolutely loved the fun touches of Australian culture throughout the wedding, ending in the ultimate Canadian/Australian midnight buffet (scroll down to the end to see!). When I think back on this day, one of the things that stands out the most is the amazing live band that had everyone on their feet dancing the night away. It was such a lively party and we had a blast documenting it all! These two are the sweetest and so down-to-earth, and it was a joy to capture this day for them. Here are some favourites!

Best of 2018 Engagements | London Ontario Wedding Photographer

While I’m not quite up to blogging my 2018 sessions, I’m so thrilled to be sharing my best of 2018 this week - a collection of favourite images from the past year. Today I’m pulling from my 2018 engagement sessions, which spanned every season and so many different locations. I always have such a terrible time culling favourites, because I have a special attachment to each couple, each session, each location. But I based these selections on things like emotion, light, composition, and the feeling that each image elicits in me as a photographer. More than anything, going through these photos made me so thankful for the opportunity to work with so many amazing people, and so excited for all of the upcoming weddings I get to document!

Stratford Ontario Photographer | Cutajar Family Lifestyle Session

It feels like a million years ago since I first met and photographed Nadia, and I have since had the pleasure of documenting her growing family here and there during her visits to Canada from Egypt, where she lives with her sweet little crew. During one of these visits last year, we choose an in-between spot for us to meet for a session, which just so happened to be the gorgeous little town of Stratford, ON (aka one of my favourite places to shoot!). The sun was shining and the kids were full of energy. We had a blast walking around and letting the little ones be silly and playful and snuggly, just capturing them as they were. I loved looking back through this session while putting this blog post together, and hopefully I’ll be able to see this gorgeous bunch again soon!
