ALL THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER.

St. Andrews Family Photographer
Let me photograph them for you.
love stories / tiny toes / sunshine / warm hugs / family traditions
belly laughs / fresh flowers / the beautiful mundane / happy tears / young love
childhood / spilled wine / smile lines / family traditions / tenderness
connection / decades of love / perfect imperfections.
These are all moments that matter, and future-you will be grateful that they were documented and preserved with intention.
Your Personal Photographer
The truth is, my greatest desire as a photographer is to be invited back into your lives to document your family through all ages and stages of life—from pre-kids to empty nesters.
Whether our relationship begins when I photograph your wedding or when your family is growing and you stumble across my work for the first time, it doesn’t matter. What matters is, each time we work together an important trust is established allowing you to open up more of your heart to me.
What matters is that you and your children will come to know me like an old family friend, making your experience of being photographed comfortable, fun, and truly personal.
And decades from now, you will have a collection of images spanning years that document the moments that mattered, photographed by someone who cared about you and even felt like part of your family.
That is my greatest desire as your family’s personal photographer.

KIND WORDS
Thank you so much for capturing our family so beautifully. It was impossible to pick only a few to print. I smile every time I walk up the stairs.
Thank you so much for the wonderful images that capture so much joy and history and for making it a fun experience. We hope to connect again.

PRINT YOUR PHOTOS
Prints & Albums
they never become obsolete
Photographs are meant to be printed, displayed, and preserved. Photos that live on a device are subject to loss because technologies become obsolete and cannot be passed down from generation to generation.
This is why I believe in the importance of providing all of my clients with high-quality printed products.
I believe it is part of my job as your photographer to make sure you print your photos and have access to print products that will last.
Regardless of what photo session experience you book with me, a print credit is included as an inherent part of every photography experience I provide.

FAQS
Frequently Asked
-
Do you travel for weddings?Yes, absolutely! I travel throughout Atlantic Canada every year to photograph weddings. I will travel anywhere throughout Canada, especially to Vancouver, BC. Travel fees will apply for weddings taking place more than 100 kms roundtrip beyond St. Andrews, NB.
-
How far in advance should we book you?I book weddings anywhere from four to 18 months in advance. However, I have booked a wedding with less than two months' notice. It is always best to inquire, as you never know! If you have your date set and your venue booked, then let's get your photography booked!
-
Do you work with a second shooter?You can select a collection that includes a second photographer or add one to your collection if needed. I have options for full day or half coverage by a second shooter. I strongly recommend a second shooter for weddings with a guest list exceeding 100 or if you plan to get ready far apart from one another.
-
How do we book you?Oh my goodness, yes! Let's do this. I require a signed contract and a $1000 retainer fee to secure your day. Use the contact form to get the booking process started.
-
Our wedding is a bit different. Do you have custom options?My collections are pretty much applicable to any wedding day, but there are definitely some exceptions and I'd love to create something special for you. Use the contact form to fill me in on all the details of what you're planning.
-
How many images can we expect to receive in our wedding day gallery?This ultimately depends on how much time I spend with you, but typical galleries from a full-day wedding will include 500—700 high-resolution images that have been edited in keeping with my style.
-
What precautions do you take to make sure our photos are backed up?During a wedding day, I shoot with multiple memory cards at once! Once back to my office I back up your photos to multiple hard drives, which are automatically backed up in the cloud! Lastly, I do not format my memory cards from your wedding day until after you have received you curated gallery. I have a ridiculous amount of redundant storage to mitigate losses.
-
Do you carry insurance?Yes! I am insured for liability and equipment losses.
-
Can we opt out of an album to save money?In a nutshell, no. Albums are an important part of the comprehensive wedding photography experience that I provide and it is not something I am willing to compromise on.
