🤎 The Heart Behind the Camera: 5 Things About Me 🌾📷

🤎 I’ve been doing this for 22 years, and one of the greatest gifts of my job is getting to witness every stage of a family’s story. From engagements and weddings to newborns, growing families, graduations, and everything in between. It’s an honor to document the moments that become part of your legacy.

🤎 Photography has taught me to slow down and notice the beauty in the ordinary. The seemingly small moments often become the ones we treasure most.

🤎 I absolutely love photographing kids. The laughter, the energy, the sibling bonds, the chaos, and all the beautifully imperfect moments in between. The bigger the family, the more stories there are to tell, and those are some of my favorite stories to capture and preserve for years to come.

🤎 Wide open fields, golden sunsets, and birds singing in the distance. That’s my happy place. It’s where I feel most inspired, most at peace, and most like myself.

🤎 I always try to bring my film camera to family get togethers. Time moves far too quickly, and I’ve learned that the moments we think we’ll remember forever are often the ones that fade first. I don’t want to forget the people, the places, or the feeling of being together. So I take the photo.

***This picture of me was taken by my very dear friend, Jeannie, 16 years ago in Texas. My favorite place!!

Last year, the Vanstee family heard the words every family prays for: remission.

A season of hope. A chance to breathe. A chance to dream about tomorrow again.

But last week, his family received the heartbreaking news that his cancer has returned.

And while cancer may have come back, so has Kian’s courage.

He is strong. He is brave. He is resilient beyond words. A little boy carrying a battle far bigger than anyone his age should ever have to face.

Today, I ask you to keep Kian and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Pray for strength on the hard days, hope when fear feels overwhelming, and healing beyond what doctors can explain.

Kian, you are a fighter. You have already shown the world what courage looks like, and there are so many people standing beside you as you fight once again.

Your story isn’t defined by cancer. It’s defined by your strength. 🤍

Let’s fill the comments with love, prayers, and words of encouragement for Kian and his family as they face this battle once again. 💛🎗️

My heart goes out to Kian and his family.

Before every session, I take a few minutes to pray over my session and over my clients. I pray for connection, inspiration, and the ability to truly see people for who they are.
Not just poses or perfect smiles, but the love between them, the little in between moments, and the feeling they’ll want to remember years from now.

The night of this session was one of those sessions that reminded me exactly why I do this. Everything flowed so naturally, the connection was genuine, and every frame felt full of life and emotion.

As an artist, those sessions fill your soul in a way that’s hard to explain. They leave you driving home inspired, emotional, and deeply grateful that this is what you get to call work.

And more than anything, I’m grateful to God for giving me this talent and allowing me to preserve these moments for families to hold onto forever.

In-home newborn sessions are never rushed over here 🤍

We move entirely at your baby’s pace.
That means time for feeding, cuddles, diaper changes, snack breaks for siblings, and all the little pauses in between ✨

These sessions are designed to feel calm, cozy, and gentle, so you can actually enjoy the experience while I document this season exactly as it is 🥹

A wedding and 3 sessions this weekend…let’s hope the rainy forecast is wrong 🙈

It’s been a BUSYYYYY week on the farm so I’ve been a little bit quiet on here, but thankful my husband got the fields worked, planted and fertilized 🤗

The growing season is short here in Ontario, but maybe that’s what makes it so beautiful.

A few fleeting months where the fields come alive, the sunsets hit different, and every early morning and late night carries purpose.

You learn to appreciate the seasons here because nothing lasts forever. The green fields, the warm air, the dusty roads, the sound of tractors running at sunset. It all comes and goes far too fast.

But for a little while, the land wakes up.
And so do we. 🌾

What a privilege it is to travel.
To wake up somewhere new.
To wander all day and come back tired but so content.
To collect once in a lifetime memories.
To see the world with open eyes and an open heart.

Today instead of sharing my work I wanted to share some of our travels. Since this is sort of like an online journal, I can share whatever my heart desires :) and I know a lot of you love when I share our travel in my stories.

This trip was two summers ago. We drove to Wyoming and Montana. And it was so beautiful, amazing, peaceful, magical.
We spent a lot of time in Teton national park, Yellowstone national park and the Glacier national park. We drove through paradise valley into Bozeman Montana where my grandpa was born and I wish I knew where their homestead was so I could visit it.

We even met up with our daughter and son in law in Glacier national park for a few days and camped in the mountains.

It was an unforgettable and unbelievable trip.
My husband and I love the west! Whenever we leave there we feel we left a piece of our heart there…..that’s what travel does. Every place you’ve travelled is etched in your soul and makes you fall in love with life and the world a little more.

One of these days I’m going to make an itinerary for ya’ll. I get constant questions about it. This trip and our Utah trip! So someday look out for that 🤗

Ontario is apparently going to be the coldest place on earth this weekend.
If you need me, no you don’t.

Roads closed, school buses cancelled, businesses closing early, snow plows being pulled off the roads, week after week. It’s been a wild winter so far.

And yes, I still love it!! ❄️

Scroll to the end to see how much baby banks was sick sick of me 🤣 he threw his head so far back he looks like a headless baby.

How’s everyone coping with this arctic winter we’re having. I’m glad I don’t have any outdoor sessions with the -33 temps coming. I’ll be nice and cozy in my studio holding little newborns 🥰

Have a great weekend everyone!

Ps ALWAYS love having my friend Jess and her beautiful family in front of my lens. It’s always a chaotic but hilarious time ❤️
