Bora Laskin Faculty of Law Corporate Headshots

I often get companies and business reaching out to me for headshots, which I absolutely love doing. They are usually pretty standard, either in the studio or against an even coloured wall. For my shoot with The Faculty of Law we decided to get a little bit more creative with the photos. They were all in a more natural setting, with some being outside and others using backdrops within the school itself.

Craft Revival 2021

It has taken quite a long time for things to get back to some kind of normal. Before COVID, we were spoiled with large events and gatherings. Fast forward to this past weekend, when Craft Revival (was revived) and took place once again. Even though it wasn’t as expansive as previous versions, it was still a huge success.

My second session out at Eden and Chris’s house in the country was so much fun. This time around they had a new puppy and even some rabbits, which we took advantage of near the end of the shoot. It doesn’t get much cuter than that!

Kim + Jeffrey Family Portraits

It was my second time photographing Kim and her family. The last time being just under 3 years ago!

That last session was during winter so it was inside. Since winter isn’t quite here yet, we got some good weather and did it outside, which worked out perfectly. They have a huge backyard so there was a ton of beautiful space to work with. Plus we got to watch the dogs chase each other around!

Zora + Jamie Wedding

With wedding season winding down, one of my last ones of the year was with Zora and Jamie. It did not disappoint, and was filled with so many great moments. My day started at the Urban Abbey. I had shot a few events there in the past, but it was my first wedding. It really is a lovely location for a wedding.

Sleeping Giant Brewing Company - Pop Up Store Intercity Mall

I had the pleasure of visiting the new Sleeping Giant Pop Up Store in Intercity Mall to capture some photos and video. I originally took photos and video a few years back when they were in a different location, but this is by far the best spot they have had in the mall. It looks 5 times bigger than the last one!

Rochelle Lee Corporate Headshots

Rochelle contacted me to help her get some updated photos for her website. She wanted a mix of candid and posed photos to be used for her business. We decided to brave the cool weather down at the marina, which was well worth it. She was super happy with how all the photos turned out. It was very fun and casual session, and I love helping local business owners create unique and engaging imagery for their websites.

Kaylee + Carter Portraits - Jumbo Gardens

I’ve been photographing Kaylee and Carter for over 6 years now. It’s amazing to see how fast they are growing up. Much to the dismay of Lincoln and Vicky, Carter is also talking non stop! But I guess he just has a lot to say. :)

Hannah + Chris Maternity Session

Chris decided to do the session at his grandparents’ property, which ended up being an absolutely amazing backdrop. I also got to meet their dog Indy, who reminded me so much of our dog Bea. Such a personality. As you would imagine, the photos turned out perfect, which is almost impossible when you a have a beautiful couple like Hannah and Chris.
