My stylistic approach
 
My stylistic approach is relaxed and organic. I want to get to know you and learn who you are so I can capture your best images. My style leans toward dreamy and whimsical or clean vibrant colours.
Your session, your look!
 
Hello!
I'm so glad you found me! I absolutely love photography and have met so many wonderful people throughout my journey. I'm so excited to be a part of your life moments! As a mom of three, I have experience and patience with children and youth of all ages. I understand that sometimes children have other agendas and posing for photos are at the bottom of their list! that's okay, I work well with others. My style is very free-form and I enjoy capturing kids being kids and doing what they love to do best! However, I also have structure to my posing and will work with your child to get the best images.
I have always admired photography for as long as I can remember. I got my first camera (Kodak Film, 35 mm) when I was about 10 years old. I think I found it in one of our junk drawers. My dad was an avid hobbyist so there was always photography gear and film developing "stuff" around our house. I followed with a ton of curiosity and began my own journey.
I use professional gear, a variety of lenses, lights and flashes. I also utilise current digital technologies and photo editing software to help bring my photos to life. I have professionally shot a variety of sessions and venues including family, maternity, children, and special events such as weddings and engagements. My current passion is whimsical art, fantasy and creative shoots. I love fairies and have a seperate page dedicated to my Enchanted Photography.
Welcome and I look forward to working with you!
