We were immediately excited when Stephanie reached out to us to do a Dundurn Castle maternity session and gender reveal! Along with marriage, welcoming children into the world is one of the most incredible events of one’s life. And what better place to celebrate than a real-life castle! Unfortunately, Stephanie’s husband, Alec, hadn’t been able to attend any of her ultrasounds or appointments due to COVID regulations. With this session, they wanted to do something special together that would help them create memories as a full family unit. And we were so happy to be able to contribute to this special time of their lives! In fact, within minutes of meeting them face-to-face, we felt we had known both Steph and Alec for far longer than we had.

Stephanie is a French immersion teacher, cultured and patient. We could sense her organization/planning skills over email as she shared her designs for the session. As detail-oriented photographers–and people in general–we were thrilled to connect with and get to know Stephanie and her vision. Her attention to detail and her amazing taste elevated this session and definitely made it one for the books! We know that her keen eye and passion for both beauty and organization will serve her little family so well!

May these photos serve as a welcome tribute to your pregnancy.

Alec is an engineer, steady and calm, personable and comfortable. During the session, he was so attentive and caring towards Stephanie, helping her manoeuvre on the muddy slopes and dirt paths. Over the years, we’ve found that in a couple, the guy is typically less enthusiastic about photos than the girl. But Alec was engaged the whole way through! (Though he did admit to not liking photos, and was more than ready to let Steph have a few solo portraits). We loved seeing how he was able to set aside his own hesitations, and instead participate and contribute, helping to make the session super enjoyable for everyone involved! This self-sacrificial attitude and dive-right-in attitude is so incredible to have as a dad!

Stephanie and Alec, thank you so much for trusting us to document this amazing time of your life! This season is so so precious and we hope that the sweet memories you make during these months stay with you forever. It was such a joy to connect with you; you guys were absolute rock-stars! We absolutely LOVED your Dundurn Castle maternity session, and hope you love these photos as much as we do. May they serve as a welcome tribute to your pregnancy, especially during this crazy year!

Welcome to the blog!

This is where we share recent weddings & sessions, as well as informative articles, wedding planning tips, and a little bit about my life!

When I'm not shooting beautiful people in beautiful places, you're most likely to find me reading, taking walks along the beach, or trying out new restaurants with my husband!
