Well… I took thousands upon thousands of photos in 2025.

I’m so deeply proud of them and can’t wait to share the overwhelming array of captures and stories that made my heart beat faster.

But I’m currently kinda paralyzed by it so I’m going to start by sharing my first cyanotype attempt on handmade paper that I made 10 minutes ago - paper made by my own hands during a collective ritual that has brought me deep joy and friendship this past year. We take turns, sheet by sheet, using our hands, wooden mould & deckle, and sponge. How can something so simple be so life altering?

The paper is delicate and my handling was less so. But I kinda love the rips and wrinkles. I’m working to love my rips and wrinkles too. I also kinda love the accidental gradient from my haphazard chemical application. Maybe I’ll be more careful next time. Maybe I’ll be less.

The second photo demystifies the context. Just my sketchy basement, $15 second-hand laundry sink, and a $50 UV light in a cardboard box (not shown).

This took 15 minutes and made my day.

Claire and Jordan wanted me to capture their Saturday morning routine 🥹

And that’s exactly what we did. Cuddles on the couch with fresh and steamy cups of coffee in hand. Kitchen table smooches. Dancing in the living room to their soon-to-be wedding song. A cat with a lot of opinions. Perfect.

Invite this soft-hearted romantic with a camera into your Saturday mornings - I promise we will make magic ✨

Have you heard of Kylie Fox? If you haven’t, you’re going to want to check her out right now. And better yet - get tickets to her show at the CAP March 14. She’s like Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, and Stevie Nicks all wrapped into one whimsical down-to-earth powerhouse.

My 24 of ‘24 list would not be complete without including this shoot. There are hundreds more to show, but this was a special capture that really dug into the raw passion she puts into her work.

Here’s to more riverside shoots under overpasses and bent trees.

Winter offers all a little time and space to re-imagine and re-visit our self, our life, our priorities.

It’s no surprise that this is a key time for businesses to focus on their branding imagery and make conscious decisions about how they will demonstrate who they are and what they do.

Ignite NB is a group of amazing people who do amazing things for New Brunswick entrepreneurs. I had the opportunity early in 2024 to spend the day with them, capturing the essence of the joy, passion and spirit they put into their work.

Let’s join Ignite in supporting our local entrepreneurs - there’s truly never been a better time.

We are in the dead of winter, alright.

-20 before windchill shortens our breath but truly does wake up the senses. And there is definitely something deeply comforting about returning home from an icy dog walk to a cozy warm home.

For those of you who struggle with this time of year, don’t worry - those hot summer days will be back before we know it. And I’ll be sauntering along Fredericton’s finest trails capturing beautiful families like this one. Lexi is one of those adventurers who proudly shows off the scar under her eye that she got from running through the forest. So I didn’t retouch it. This is Lexi and her family loves her just the way she is.

The books are open! Let’s plan that spring or summer photo shoot!

Posed photos CAN tell a story!

Here’s how:

Post #3 of my “24 of ‘24” series showcases Claire and her beautiful family, who travelled all the way from the UK to visit her. They wanted to mark this visit with a beautiful photo shoot that showcases their daughter’s chapter here in Fredericton.

The lovely Brits they are, they also wanted to commemorate the Queen, whose passing had sent shock waves throughout Britain and Canada too.

The answer? Gorgeous Government House. Even in the rain (and these Brits were not afraid of rain). We captured a beautiful English estate feel that reflected their story.

It can be that simple.

Let’s start planning those apple blossom sessions, shall we? Get in touch!

Looking for some warm sun on this cold day? Look no further. I have so much work to share with you.

I don’t even know where to start. So, I’m starting a bit late, and I’m starting with a “Top 24 of ‘24.” Original? Not really. But 2024 was such an incredible year of storytelling and creativity in my world, that I have to share some of my proudest work.

In 2024 more of you than ever before welcomed me into your lives and trusted me to capture your most treasured memories, and I truly couldn’t be more grateful.

Justine & Brad were one such couple. Not only did I get to capture some pre-wedding engagement magic with them, but I also got to feature the incredible work of Queenstown Goldsmiths, as we modelled their gorgeous custom, one-of-a-kind handcrafted engagement rings.

Interested in making your OWN wedding ring, and getting your engagement photos taken all on the same day? Please get in touch! We offer discounted rates for this collaboration!

There are still some 2025 wedding dates left - get in touch so we can show your people your YOU!
