London Ontario Engagement Photographer | She Said Yes! A Surprise Proposal at the London Music Club

Every now and then I am asked to photograph a surprise proposal, and it is such an exciting moment to be a part of. In this case, Mehran planned a special visit to London with his soon-to-be-fiancee, Tanya, as London holds a special place for them. Mehran planned an intimate concert for two by the very talented Jeremy Lenk at the charming London Music Club. He popped the question, she said yes, and the two enjoyed their private concert while sipping wine and laughing about the surprise that Mehran was able to pull off. It was such a pleasure to meet this adorable couple and help them document such a special moment.

London Ontario Maternity Photographer | Leah's Magnolia Blossom Maternity Session

My friend Leah is one of those people who, if you can believe it, is even more beautiful on the inside than on the outside. Here are a few favourites from her Magnolia Tree maternity session back in Spring 2017 (yes, that’s where I’m up to in my blogging. Oops!). Scroll to the bottom to see what we did when it got dark!

London Ontario Mini Sessions | Tree Farm Minis

I can’t believe it’s already time to start booking this year’s Tree Farm Minis, which means it’s also time to reminisce about last year’s sessions. I loved how cozy everyone got for these, so many knits and plaids and sweaters. I’m so looking forward to closing off another incredible season of shooting with these minis once again. Here are some of my favourites from 2017!

London Ontario Newborn Lifestyle Photographer | Baby Jack

I absolutely loved this newborn lifestyle session. Baby Jack is the cutest little guy, and he gave us so many sweet smiles. Photographing adoring parents snuggling their new babe at home is one of my favourite things, and I'm so excited to share these images on the blog today. 

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Michelle & Tylor's Century Wedding Barn Wedding

I always say that photographing a fellow photographer is the greatest honour, and Michelle (from Michelle A Photography) and Tylor's beautiful country wedding was no exception. I was so thrilled when Michelle asked me to be her wedding photographer, and even more excited that she was getting married at the beautiful Century Wedding Barn with some seriously amazing vendors - DJ Alpha, Unmistakably You and Invited by Dani, to name a few! Every single detail was perfection, from the beautifully executed DIY decor to the many personal touches woven throughout the day that truly reflected Tylor and Michelle as a couple. Samson the corgi gets a special mention for being unbelievably cute in his little bowtie. The cherry on top was when Michelle's bridesmaid and our fellow photographer Sandra aka Lil Hendy (from Life Is Beautiful Photography), Dave (DJ Alpha) and Kassandra (from Unmistakably You) donned thrifted fur coats and glasses and got together to form the greatest wedding rap group to ever rap. The personalized and hilarious tribute to Michelle and Tylor had everyone laughing was the perfect way to kick off an evening of fun. It was such a joy to be a small part of this special day - special thanks to my awesome second shooter Priya Tharmaseelan for tagging along! 

Here are some favourites.

London Ontario Family Photographer | Port Stanley Beach Minis

This year's beach minis are about to start booking, and as always it's about this time that I love to reminisce about the previous year's sessions. I'm so excited to share last years beach minis on the blog this evening!
