What is the PURPOSE behind giving yourself this portrait experience?

What is the VALUE in allowing yourself full expression of your range of self-ness?

What can be GAINED by validating and celebrating yourself as you are?

If you've never done something like this, there may be no way you could know how to answer any of these questions.

For me:
I want to make a mark on this world
I want to acknowledge what I've been through
I want to celebrate the strength I've found
I want to communicate my vulnerability
I want to claim my existence as my own
I want to show my daughter someday that I've always been mom BUT ALSO SO MUCH MORE.

I want to feel important and revered like I feel when I look at my idols in the pages of books, even if it's just a reminder that I am important to myself and those that love me.

The value is in the acknowledgement that I am worth this time and this effort. What I gain is a deeper understanding of myself, a stronger belief in myself, and a reminder of my importance in my small world. And that's pretty huge.

In this photo, in this season, Matayah was looking for connection with herself. We connected with each other, too, and I got to witness and support her stamping this moment... "I was here." She left the studio saying "this is exactly what I needed," and I felt it too.

If you want an experience like this for yourself, too, call me. 587-815-8562. I would love to meet you.

Sara, Come as You Are

These portrait sessions are designed for women who are looking for a place to reflect and recognize where they've come from and where they're going, and to document and celebrate who they are today.

To get a little personal and intimate with yourself, and no that doesn't require any state of undress unless you're wanting it to.

These sessions are flexible and customizable and very go-with-the-flow, which gives you the right amount of structure and hand holding with the right amount of seeing where the wind blows us.

They don't require immense confidence and self-assuredness, but rather a bit of openness and curiousity about ourselves.

The confidence and self-assuredness most always come AFTER doing the thing ❤️

I'd love to get to know you - text me at 587-815-8562 if this sounds like something you're just dying to be a part of!

Jena's a photoshoot veteran - but she's never had portraits done before in a peacock flavored gown. In fact, her usual favourite type of session is an empowering and sexy bo***ir shoot. These types of images though show a different side to Jena's personality and are more comfortable for dad to frame on his wall. A time and a place for everything, as the saying goes.. and the time for your favourite peacock gown is whenever you want it to be.

Send me a text to chat about your own portrait experience. 587-815-8562.

Liane and I agree - these photos look like they could be in a magazine.

It's probably because I love magazines and reading pieces that deep dive into people's stories with an accompanying gorgeous photo spread that makes me feel like I really know that girl.

It brings me a lot of joy to know that I got to know Liane just a little bit, and that she got an opportunity to get a little more acquainted with the person she is right now by sharing that person with me and by sharing the way she navigated the path that brought her here with some appreciation and reverence for herself.

And maybe I will print a magazine someday. You should be in it, too.

Jan gathered her courage and showed up to reflect strength, courage, and resilience, just like she had hoped to.

It wasn't easy for Jan to picture herself doing, just like it may not be easy for you to put yourself in this position. But she deserved to feel seen and appreciated, and so do you.

And look at these legacy images that have resulted. I'm so honoured to have been a part of this one!

And P.S. - I knew that one shoulder number would look great for a session! I bought three sizes!

Ya don't need to be a model, you just need to have an open mind.

As I'm sitting at home in my grubbies with my roots past due for a touch up, editing photos of Renee, I thought this would be a good opportunity to talk about the photo session process and maybe answer a few questions you didn't even know you had.

When Deann reached out for a Come as You Are portrait experience, she introduced herself as a woman living life on her own terms, and getting to know a little more about her makes it difficult to accept that she was wanting to be captured in photographs as "just me." Difficult, that is, because the word "just" can't be used to describe Deann at all.

Her warmth is evident, her spirit shines through her whole-face smile. She's in the midst of growing into this stage of her life in the most proactive way - challenging herself to find new nooks and crannies of her identity and ways to fall in love with life and the act of living it.

She lists her independence as her greatest strength, but it's closely accompanied by her joy, courageousness, excitement, willingness to grow and change, fearlessness and authenticity, and I'm lucky to have had the chance to see her in bloom.
