Well Hello 👋🏼

It's definitely been a hot minute! I feel like I couldn't even begin to explain where the year has gone! Short version, I truly needed a bit of a break from many things, and social media was the first on my list. We often get so caught up with so much, but never understand the impacts it can have on your mental health, and daily life in general. I really needed the time to just reevaluate what really mattered, what brings me happiness & joy rather than anxiety and stress. The time away provided me with so much perspective on the value of time spent with my family. Reality is, my little nuggets are only going to be little once and one day I know I'll wake up and realize they are too big to fit in my arms.

But good news, I am back, I am refreshed and I am feeling like I have a totally new perspective on what matters with clear boundaries and limits 🙂✌🏻

Now, let's get some fall vibe going on here and me sharing not just clients photos but also sharing a little about what we've been up to, my loved ones and all the great moments I've been capturing!!

Something about that fall vibe 🍂

Crazy to think this was just a week ago, and within 4 days we got a dump of snow! Definitely would've loved a few more weeks of the beautiful fall weather and colours 🧡💛

A mothers look, we all have it. When we can just spend forever dreaming of who our children will be, what they’ll accomplish, the struggles they’ll face and preparing ourselves to forever be right behind them be it to cheer them up or pick them up when they fall.

With mothers day quickly approaching and you haven’t figured out what to get that special Mama, I am offering mommy & me sessions book for now or purchase a gift card for later!

Moments we often feel aren't worth capturing, are merely the ones we hold dearest to our hearts.

The kindest words I received were ones from a dear friend when I captured her moments with her son..."Mel, these photos seriously are making me cry". And at that moment I knew this was what I wanted to do ❤️
