Featured: Modern Wilderness Baby Shower
Creative stylist Lorrie planned a baby shower photoshoot idea and I knew right away that I wanted to do it. With her vision and detailed planning, I was confident that the shoot would be successful. And in the end, it was even better than I could've imagined.
The theme was a Modern Wilderness baby shower and everyone contributed their craft to create something bigger together. Take a look for inspiration and check out each team member to see more of their amazing work.

Toronto Islands Lifestyle Couples Session: Josh + Erin
They were up for a mini adventure so they took the ferry to a nearby island and went exploring. Because of recently flooding, it was quite empty except for residents and a few visitors but it just meant that Erin and Josh had the place to themselves.
The best part of this lifestyle session was that there was no pressure for them. Because they're already married, this was a time for enjoy being married. All they had to do was have a good time and it was my job to capture that.
Josh and Erin, thank you for believing in the reason for creating and collecting memories. I hope this small set of snapshots will stay with you until your next adventure.
The sunset was beautiful that night and the last light glowed behind the Toronto skyline.
Maternity: Tina and Jon
Jon wanted to give Tina memorable photographs to document this time before they started the next exciting stage in their lives: Parenthood. It truly is a meaningful and thoughtful gift. We forget a lot of the journey leading up to a major life event and photographs have the power to help us remember not only the big, but also all the little moments.
Tina has the cutest baby bump and it's hard to believe she's due very soon.
