ALL THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER.

Saint John New Brunswick Family Photographer

Fredericton New Brunswick Family Photographer

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.

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.

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.
