A blend of classic family portraits and lifestyle shots, Motherhood sessions are the fleeting moments that make up your family bonds. Afternoon story-time. Melting ice-cream cones and excited faces at The Boathouse. Hide & seek, bath-time splashing, playground fun, and bedtime cuddles. The everyday memories that fill family life.
How can I help tell your family’s story?
As a photographer I have been trained to capture the moment and the memory. The beauty of the bride. The emotion of a first dance. I was trained to make them look perfect, for their perfect day.
Motherhood is the imperfect.
It is the day literally never unfolding as planned. It’s a mind, body and soul that is pushed and pulled in so many directions. The mother in us wants to hide, to let everyone else be in the shot, but the Photographer in me has the keen sense that Mom is “the shot.” She needs to see the connection between her and her child, because she may not always feel it. She spends so much time doubting, questioning, and wrestling with herself. But she’s the heartbeat of this family. She has a story that deserves to be beautifully captured, remembered, and honoured.
I’m here to disrupt the generational cycle of mothers hiding behind the camera, and work with every mother to get her into the shot. I’ll capture for her, exactly the story that she wants to tell about her motherhood.
The perfectly imperfect story that is your family.
Like your grandmother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe, these photographs are keepsakes and heirlooms. They should document your family’s unique relationships and provide a visual story for future generations.
Life moves so quickly and, as your family grows and changes, one thing is certain, and that is that it will never again look the exact way it does right now.
I can’t wait to chat with you!
