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.

last week, i had THREE engagement sessions, as a few of my couples wanted to get some fall colours in their photos. Melissa and Steve were my third couple of the week, and it was a fun way to end my engagement photos until Christmas-time.
i met Melissa for the very first time, this past summer. she drove into Kingsville to meet with me, and brought her mom along for the ride.
we sat down, spoke about the wedding plans, and then we laughed. both Melissa and her mom had me laughing the whole time. 
it was a wonderful meeting.
Melissa and Steve are getting married next June, at a cute little Bed and Breakfast in Windsor, and i can't wait! i am super excited about being their wedding photographer

we met up at Lakeside Park in Kinsgville, for their engagement photos, after having to reschedule our session twice! the weather was being difficult, and the third time was a charm.
it was a bit chilly, and a little cloudy, but we were thankful that the leaves were still on the trees, and we weren't getting rained on!
a week after their session, most of the leaves in my area are off the trees now, and the weather is getting colder. i guess we got done just in time!

we had fun, i think they thought i was a bit nuts, and i was happy to see that they are two people who are very much in love. i can't wait to photograph their wedding next year, and i'm so thankful that they chose me.
