I grew that business beyond my wildest dreams, and formed a reputation as one of the top wedding photographers in Ottawa.
Since then, a lot has changed!
If you found me on Google, you were probably searching for the best wedding photographer in Ottawa.
Well, you found me! Except there are a few things you should know... (keep reading! your girl loves to drag out a story.)
AND I'M MAKING THE LIFE OF MY DREAMS, ON MY OWN TERMS.
Focused on building a killer reputation in the city and found my stride as the luxury wedding photographer for happy people. I did the wedding booth thing, the Style Me Pretty thing, and used a billion hashtags and wrote over a thousand blog posts to spread the word.
Twenty weddings a year was a great fit for this chapter of my life, but where was my business headed after photography?
Key realization: there was going to be a second career.
It makes great company for a road trip, because finding yourself is more fun when you can do it together. Closing in on 200 episodes now!
I found the thing they can't take away when I stepped into the role of Coach and discovered my passion for helping people feel more at home in their bodies and more alive in their purpose. (Although I didn't have the body piece just yet, I only became a Certified Body Acceptance Coach in 2023!)
I get to help people reconnect with that spark of power and vibrancy in their lives, and that just blows my mind. This is only the beginning!
My life outside my business fills my cup to the brim, as we explore our beautiful city, Ottawa, Canada, as a family of four. My friendships feel like sisterhood. My body is home. I didn't know life could get this good!

Some people call it a social media shoot, a headshot session, lifestyle / brand photography, etc.
For me, a branding session encompasses everything from "stock" style photos to promote your products or services, headshots, casual candids to promote you and your work, studio/location tours, and everything in between.
Every season I take on a handful of sessions to document the big milestones. A maternity session, a lifestyle newborn session, a milestone anniversary, etc.
My style is light, casual, and focused on documenting the JOY at every stage! I also love to mix it up with candids, natural-looking posed shots, and closeup details.

I used to take on more than twenty weddings a season, but that's not the dream anymore. For 2024 and 2025 my goal is to serve 5-7 couples who totally fit the vibe of a relaxed and joyful day. I love candids, and I offer a ton of direction to maximize what we can create during the photo time, so you can get right back to the party! That's how the best photos come to be, anyway!
