your toronto maternity photographer
WELCOME
I’m a born creative. My camera is just a tool that I use to create the story that’s in front of me. I discover honest beauty in all walks of life and owe it to you to show you what I see. The photos hung on my walls are everyday reminders of the memories I’ve created growing my little ones and being their momma. I want the same for you.
Focusing on connection between any and all types of relationships is my true passion. My number one photography love is documenting the raw, undying love mothers have for their little ones and unborn babies.
Although I base my maternity photography business out of Toronto & the Durham Region, I love to travel. So wherever it may be that you are, you’ve found me now, which I feel is a sign I should tell your story.

client closet
The last thing you need is to stress over is what you are going to wear to your shoot. My client closet is flooded with gorgeous pieces I’ve mindfully selected to make you look and feel like the goddess you are. And don’t worry, it’s fully stocked with children’s clothing too, because let’s face it, we don’t exactly have time to shop for our little ones.

"I let Kristen style me and all I can say is wow! The outfits she selected for me made the photos. She picked pieces I never would have chosen in a 1000 years, yet they were perfect."

COUPLES Photo SESSION
You’ll reach for these photos years from now and look back on the fiery love that began your life’s story.

It’s the most magnificent thing ever! I’m not lying… see yourself by checking out these reviews. I’ve spent all of my our savings (ahahaha) on pieces that photograph like a dream. The items have been chosen based on textures, sizing, movement and colour. All women’s pieces are size adjustable and look great on all sorts of body types. Most pieces fit a wide range of sizes (with the help of elastic waists, ties and adjustable straps) including baby bumps. My children’s closet is just as good. It ranges from size newborn-8. I also offer trendy jewellery and hats to add a little extra pizazz and personality. You can learn more about my client closet here.
If you booked a family or maternity photo shoot, immediate family are welcomed to be a part of our photo experience together. If you’d like to have extended family join, I do charge an additional fee.

Why should i have maternity photos taken?
Every expecting momma is deserving of a maternity shoot, and here's why.....
you are growing new life
I want you to ask yourself, through everything you’ve gone through this pregnancy, are you proud of yourself?
I’m not asking you if you feel beautiful or if you have enjoyed every single day of carrying your baby. I’m not asking you if you’ve loved how much your belly has stretched, or how swollen your feet have gotten or if you’ve been loving your mood swings. I’m asking you if you are proud of your maternity journey so far.
You’re growing new life inside you. Your mind and body are going through drastic changes. If that doesn’t make you worthy of booking a photography session, I don’t know what does.
you will miss your baby bump
Right now your baby bump might be getting in the way… making it difficult to put on your shoes or shave your legs but let me speak from experience (you’re talking to a mom of three here), you’re going to miss it when it’s gone. You’ll miss the look of it and the feel it. The stretch marks and all.
It can be hard to appreciate your transforming body at this time, but once your baby is born, you’ll realize just how incredible being pregnant was and your photographs will be there to remind you.
You will feel beautiful
Have you outgrown everything in your closet and been bumming around in Lulus everyday? A maternity session is your time to look and feel freaking fantastic. Leave it up to me to style you just right, dressing you in outfits that’ll make yours and everyone else’s jaw drop. You’ll leave your photo session feeling reassured that your body is doing all the wonderful things it needs to in order to grow your baby. Your confidence will be boosted after seeing the gorgeous momma underneath those sweatpants.
You will feel closer to your partner
Inviting your partner to your maternity session will help them feel more connected to your pregnancy. It’s a chance for you both to celebrate the changes that are currently taking place along with the big changes that are in your future. Your photoshoot will make your partner feel more included in your baby growing journey and will help them bond with their unborn child.
It's a good excuse for family photos
Is this your second, third or maybe fourth pregnancy? Now’s the time to document the current season of life you’re in with the children you already have. Soak in the last moments with your family before the newest bundle of joy arrives. Your photos will be a reminder of the stage you are in now.
