Welcome about

I'd love to hear from you, so please click HERE to get in touch. I look forward to hearing more about your wedding day plans and details.

You have just arrived at my blog, and I welcome you!

This blog is just a place where I write about my journey as a wedding photographer, as a mother, wife and friend. 

I am an illustrative wedding photographer, located just outside Windsor Ontario.  I have a huge love of photojournalism, black and white photography, and weddings that make me cry! I don't like the ordinary, I love being different, and I put my heart and soul into everything I do.

My kids are my greatest treasure and my hubby my greatest love.

I feel that this quote summarizes me and my outlook on business....

"Always hold on to the truth. Don't let others sway your heart. Don't compromise yourself for the sake of temporal groovyness. Be Deeply Funky. Be separate from the crowd that's awash with normality, by standing on a firm foundation. Never waver in your love or faith ...." - John Fluevog.

there is nothing more wonderful than a love story. i'm a sucker for a good story anytime, but i just love getting goosebumps when i hear someone's story that's a bit more unusual.
michelle & jimmy have one of those stories.
a few weeks ago, i had the privilege of shooting this beautiful wedding with Arica Ingratta and we had such a great time! what a beautiful party :)
ok, on to the story....
i guess it was about 4 years ago, when Michelle & James met on a plane ride from Texas to Detroit (i didn't think you were supposed to have meaningful conversations with your plane buddies). after a couple of years of keeping in touch via email, this lovely couple started to date, which was no easy task because they lived across the Detroit River from each other.
not too long into their dating, Jimmy proposed and of course, Michelle accepted.
i was overwhelmed by the kindness of this couple, the ease at which i got along with their family, and the overwhelming feelings of love that i was constantly surrounded by on their wedding day.
i have also decided that getting married on a friday is the BEST idea EVER! 
their reception was at the St.Clair Centre for the Arts in Windsor, and wow, can they throw a party.
