A little bit of chaos, a whole lot of love… and the sweetest little centre of it all.

Cate and Tyler make it look effortless, but you can feel it in every frame. The laughter, the softness, the way everything just revolves around Starling. From messy mealtime moments to quiet snuggles and those big gummy smiles, this is what it’s all about.

The in between moments. The real ones. The ones you never want to forget ✨

Starling, you are so deeply loved

Throwback Thursday to one of those dreamy February days on the canal ❄️🤍

Amy & Guy braved the snow, laced up their skates, and gave us the kind of connection we live for… the quiet moments, the laughter, the way they just fit together. This is exactly what we aim to capture every time… not stiff poses, but real, inbetween magic that tells your story.

With the weather we’ve been having lately… we’re officially ready to trade snowflakes for April showers 🌧️ but we couldn’t not revisit this one.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, this is your sign 🤍
Our sessions are relaxed, natural, and built around connection.

✨ Family, Couples, Engagement, Maternity + In Home Sessions
✨ $199 + HST
✨ Minimum 20 edited images (but we always deliver ALL strong images from your session)

You can find us at www.elmstudios.ca to book or learn more 🤍

Let’s capture your story, exactly as it feels.

Some wedding days feel like a movie.

Chloe & Benoit’s fall wedding at was exactly that.

Golden leaves covering the ground.
A ceremony glowing with candlelight and emotion.
Tears during their vows.
Laughter with their wedding party.
And a fireworks finale reflected over the water while they held each other under the trees.

But the real magic wasn’t the setting.

It was the way Benoit looks at Chloe like she’s the only person in the room… and the way Chloe lights up every time he reaches for her hand.

Those quiet little moments between the big ones, that’s the story we love capturing.

Chloe & Benoit, thank you for trusting us with your day. It was unforgettable.

Caro and Ryan braved the cold, laced up their skates, and turned a frozen afternoon into something straight out of a movie. Between the laughter, the falls, the snow in Ryan’s beard, and the quiet moments in between… it was pure, effortless love.

Sessions like this are a reminder that the best photos aren’t about perfect poses, they’re about real connection. The way someone looks at you. The way you laugh together. The way the world disappears for a moment.

These two absolutely brought that magic to the ice. 🤍

✨ Couple sessions are available all year round
Packages start at $199 + HST and include a minimum of 20 images, but we include all strong images.

Because your story deserves to be told fully.

❣️Calling all couples ❣️
🤍 In Home Love Stories

We are looking for real life couples who are madly in love and want their story captured in the most authentic way possible… in your own home.

This is not bo***ir.
This is cozy kitchen dancing.
Slow Sunday mornings on the couch with coffee.
Flour on the counter while you cook together.
Popcorn in bed with a movie on.
Forehead touches in golden window light.

We are looking for:
✨ Natural light
✨ Soft, lived in connection
✨ Playful, affectionate, deeply in love
✨ Home environments that feel warm, airy, and intentional

These will be stylized sessions. That means we will:
• Collaborate on wardrobe so everything flows beautifully
• Choose one main space in your home that photographs well but also holds significant meaning to the couple
• Guide you through natural movement (nothing stiff or overly posed)
• Use inspiration imagery to shape the vibe

✨ These sessions are complimentary in exchange for creative direction and use of images for social media and promotions✨

Because this is a stylized shoot, we do need:
• A space in your home with good natural light
• A clean, uncluttered, aesthetically pleasing area
• Neutral or cohesive tones work best
• Surfaces cleared and visually tidy

Not perfection, just intentional and visually calm.

If you’d love to be considered, comment below telling us the space in your home that feels like you two

Bonus points if you drop a photo of the space you’re thinking of or an image of you and your partner.

We cannot wait to capture the quiet moments, the laughter, the forehead kisses, the way you look at each other when no one’s watching.

Let’s tell your story.

A wedding day full of golden light, belly laughs, and moments that felt so real.
