Eden + Chris Family Session
Eden + Chris are another family that I have been photographing for a very long time. I really can’t put into words how fun it is to capture memorable moments each year. Especially at their property in the country which is always an adventure.
Queens U11 Outdoor Hockey Session - Balsam Pit
I absolutely love the hockey sessions in the rink, and they of course make the most sense. Sometimes though, the kids need to get outside for a change of scenery. That was the case with the Queens U11 team. We gathered everyone up at my old childhood stomping ground, Balsam Pit. Even though it was a baseball diamond, it worked perfectly, and the girls (and me) had a blast. I just love how the photos turned out.
Cassandra + Dustin Engagement - Cascades
I’m very much looking forward to Cassandra and Dustin’s wedding next fall. Luckily they decided to do an engagement session today, at the always beautiful Cascades. The weather held up and it ended up being the perfect session.
U13 North End Flames - Current River Arena
My second time photographing the U13 North End Flames was even more fun than the first. This time around we did the portrait on ice, and I just love how they turned out. Of course, I made sure to get a lot of action and candid photos as well.
Amy + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
It was another beautiful fall day for a session with Amy and her family and Centennial Park. I have been photographing her family for quite a while. I just didn’t realize how long. Amy reminded me that it has been since 2012. I can’t stress enough how wonderful it is to essentially watch a family grow up through the years and document it. I’m so thankful!
U11 North End Flames - Current River Arena
I’m very excited for the upcoming hockey season and capturing all the kids throughout the year. Here are some highlights from one of my first sessions of the year with the U11 North End Flames, at Current River Arena.
Brooke + Min Family Session - Mission Island Marsh
It was a beautiful mini-session with Min, Brooke and the rest of their family at Mission Island Marsh. Even though it was a bit windy, that didn’t stop everyone, including me, from have a great time. I was able to capture some purely genuine moments.
Amy + Brad Family Portraits - Tree Farm
Anytime I get to photograph Amy, Brad and the rest of their family I get super excited. Well, this time around, they have a new puppy, Roxy. If I had my way, I would have just spent the whole time getting photos of her, but I promised to photograph the humans too. :)
Barbara + Darren Wedding Celebration - Springfield Farm
It was just this past summer that I photographed Darren and Barbara’s very small wedding just outside Wawa at Chippewa Falls. It was literally just them and their children, plus of course the minister, all on the rocks with the rapids flowing in the background. It was a very fun day, and one that I look back on fondly.
Hardy Family Portraits
Family events are definitely some of my favourite types of sessions to capture. It usually means there will be a fair amount of kids running around and playing, making for some truly candid moments. That’s exactly what happened with Meladina and her family this past weekend.
Eric + Caitlynn Wedding - Stepstone Centre
Anytime I get to photograph a wedding at Stepstone Centre, I can’t help but get excited. It’s such an amazingly beautiful location. Pair that with an equally beautiful couple in Eric and Caitlynn, and the result is stunning photos.
Celebrating the Acquisition of the Victoria Inn
I was on-hand this week to photograph a ribbon-cutting and gala dinner at the Victoria Inn to celebrate the culmination of a collaboration which they say is a step toward economic empowerment and community viability.
ONWA Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) Pow Wow
The Ontario Native Women's Association (ONWA) Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) Pow Wow took place this afternoon. This powerful event brought communities together to honour the lives of Indigenous women and girls, celebrating their strength and resilience.
Jennifer + Carmine - The Chanterelle
Jennifer and Carmine got married right around when Covid hit in a very small and intimate ceremony. Fast forward to a couple days ago, and they had a full on proper ceremony with all their friends and family. It was a long time coming and so worth the wait.
National Truth and Reconciliation Flag Raising - Lakehead University
Here are some highlights from the National Truth and Reconciliation Flag Raising that took place at Lakehead University. It’s one of many events being held this month at the Thunder Bay campus.
Kihannah + Alisha Engagement – Tree Farm
One of my favourite types of photo sessions, definitely has to be engagements. There is just a certain feeling of excitement in the air each time, similar to weddings. Kihannah and Alisha chose to do theirs at the Tree Farm. Unlike a family session I had a couple months earlier, this time around the mosquitos were nowhere to be found.
Kaylin + Adam Wedding
Kaylin and Adams' wedding day took place on one of the hottest days of the year, but I enjoyed every single minute of it. They did their first look at the home they were staying at while in town. Right after, they exchanged their very heartfelt and emotional vows. It was then back to the main property where they sealed those vows in a small, and intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends.
Arianna + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
It was a very fun mini-session with Arianna and her family at Centennial Park. Lots of great candid, care-free moments, which are my favourite type of photos.
Esker + Melanie Family Portraits - MacKenzie Point
Melanie and Esker decided to do their most recent family session at the exact spot they got married a few years ago. This time around, they had one more addition to the family. It was a nice hot afternoon and a very fun and spontaneous session.
Helen Pelletier - Wiigwas Manidoog Descendants Exhibit - Thunder Bay Art Gallery
Wiigwas Manidoog Descendants is the first solo exhibition of works by artist Helen Pelletier. Her etched baskets, objects, garments, and accessories express her relationship with Wiigwas, or birchbark, and reflect the love she feels for the land.
