Beautiful photos for families who are busy living beautiful lives.

I WISH FAIMLY PHOTOS DIDN'T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE ANOTHER TO-DO ITEM

Family photos can feel like a lot of work, and if it all feels overwhelming to you, you’re my kind of people. (Even as a photographer, I struggle to keep up with my own family photos.)

My photography philosophy is simple: honest over perfect, presence over performance. If you’re looking for family photography in Calgary with someone who gets it—easy to book, actually fun to show up for—you’re in the right spot.

FAMILY PHOTOS

MATERNITY + NEWBORN PHOTOS

The pressure to get it all right is very real.

BUT YOU CAN LEAVE IT AT THE DOOR—BECAUSE WHILE YOU'RE IN FRONT OF MY CAMERA GETTING IT RIGHT IS MY JOB, NOT YOURS!

It’s not about perfect images—it’s about honest ones that feel like home.

I’m a Type C personality—very focused on details, a bit (a lot) of a perfectionist, and a bit of a wallflower (observer).

I’ve always been quietly captivated by the way stories live in our homes. The gallery walls in hallways, faded photos on the fridges, and knick-knacks on shelves that only make sense when you know the backstory.

I got my first point-and-shoot camera at 17 and was hooked. My first go with a “real” camera? A second-hand DSLR I dragged through Europe, tried to figure out, and eventually gave up on (frustrated I couldn't get perfect photos out of it).

The point-and-shoot kept going—mediocre quality, maybe, but still telling stories that mattered.

It wasn’t until I became a mom that something shifted. I felt pulled back—this time with more intention.

I started learning the technical side, piece by piece, investing in myself so I could turn the way I see things into art that lasts.

Starting a business comes with plenty of doubt and second-guessing, but I kept coming back to this: moms deserve to be seen.

So I'll be working hard behind the camera to make that happen for you, while all you need to be doing is loving your people (with a couple quiet directions).
