This spring was Amelia’s first Dress Design, and I absolutely loved seeing her creativity. 🤍

She designed a two-piece look with a skirt made up of layers of tulle that cascade open in the front. (A little nod to her love of dance) The one shoulder top had s big tulle bow to tie it all together.

I love when the designs they come up with challenge me. It always pushes me to try something new, learn a new technique, or look at a design in a way i hadn’t before.

Only a couple weeks until I have another group of design to bring to life!

😬😬😬I know no one wants to think about it but…… we are just weeks away from starting to design our Holiday Dresses!!

To insure we have plenty of time to be flexible with design appts and fabric orders we are starting a touch earlier this year.

🗓️Mark your calendars…. Our Holiday Fashion show is set for December 6th at Royal Cape Breton Room (Port of Sydney).

There is still time to purchase a design package!

Also for a limited time we are offering “Bestie Week” if you purchase with a friend or sibling you will recieve 20% off!!!

It’s BESTIE WEEK!!! 👯‍♀️

Designing your dream dress is pretty fun on your own… but doing it with your bestie? I think that might make it even better!

Also for Bestie Week, you can book 2 Dress Design spots together and save 20%!

That means instead of $700 for two spots, you’ll pay $560 — a savings of $140!

The girls will each get to choose from our available dress designs, fabrics, colours and all those little details that help bring their ideas to life... and then I get to take it from there. ✨

They’ll also have the opportunity to walk in our Holiday Fashion Show and enjoy a photoshoot together in their finished designs!

Book your Bestie Week spots!

Looking back to July wishing we could hit rewind… there’s a coolness in the air this week and although I love the fall I’m enjoying these beach session so much!!!

I met this family a couple Christmas’s ago and was excited to get to shoot with them again .. and maybe because I didn’t have a sister I always think that relationship is so sweet!

September schedule is open and I left it open to booking any type of session you like but I I will also extend the dominion beach sessions for September as well … the link is in my bio to book.. check my pinned post for more info and pricing (honouring the prices if booked by the end of August - for those:)

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

What to expect at a session and …..what NOT to expect. 🌊

If we’ve met before, you may have realized I’m probably the most Type B person ever. And with a photo session I show up with very few expectations of exactly what’s going to happen.

Because we all know the minute you ask a child to sit still and smile… they want to do anything BUT that. 😂

My goal is to get a few posed photos for Mom’s wall, and then the rest of the shoot is mostly me chasing kids around while they run, play, eat sand and jump in the water in their new outfits.
(The more wild they are the more I love it)

If that’s your speed, I’m your girl.

I want your gallery to be filled with memories of what your kids are actually like at this age the personalities, the chaos, the laughs and all the little moments you’ll want to remember.

This was my second time capturing these cousins, and I love that this session became a little summer memory for them .. the older boys home for a short time, everyone together. 💛
