London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Karlie & Zak's Arlington Hotel Wedding
This day stands out as one for the books. All of the details came together perfectly for Karlie and Zak’s beautiful Arlington Hotel wedding. Paris, Ontario is the most charming little town and made for a stunning backdrop for their wedding photos. The entire day was a dream, from their sweet first look in front of the Arlington Hotel entrance to the wild, vibrant party that closed off the evening. Here are some favourites!

London Ontario Family Photographer | Woodsy Golden Hour Family Session
Lots of candid family snuggles in tall grasses under a beautiful tree at golden hour - what more could you want? I loved this family session! Here are some favourites.
London Ontario Family Photographer | Port Stanley Beach Family Session
This was such a fun morning family session at Little Beach in Port Stanley. I don’t usually shoot at this beach because I tend to book evening sessions in Port Stanley, but Little Beach was perfect for that beautiful morning light. The beach tends to always bring out that candid playfulness I love to photograph, and this session was no exception. I hadn’t seen this sweet family since baby brother’s newborn lifestyle session, and it was so lovely to see them again. Here are some favourites from their fun beach session!
London Ontario Newborn Lifestyle Photographer | Baby Noah's In-Home Newborn Session
I love working with this beautiful family and was so thrilled to be invited into their home to document the arrival of their sweet baby boy, Noah. I had lots of time to hang out with big brother Ciaran, who taught me all about dinosaurs (he legitimately has more dino-related knowledge than I do!). I loved capturing the new family of four just hanging out at home together, in addition to the snuggly photos of baby Noah on his own and with his parents. This session felt like real life, which is always my favourite kind of in-home session. Here are some of my favourites!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Kara & Peter's Grand Bend Engagement Session
I so enjoyed working with this beautiful couple (inside and out!). Their Grand Bend engagement session was split between the woods and the beach - essentially my two favourite outdoor places to shoot - on a gorgeous sun-soaked evening. They brought their dog along for a few photos, which I always love, and we had a great time getting to know each other and capturing some beautiful candid moments. Here are some favourites from their session!
London Ontario Family Photographer | 3 Different Extended Family Sessions
Today on the blog, I want to share highlights from three different extended family sessions. These shoots are great for families that want to get that elusive large group photo on that one day of the year that everyone is visiting at the same time. It’s also a great time to get a ton of smaller groupings, like adult siblings who haven’t had a photo together since childhood, or all of the cousins together. On top of that, each individual couple/family can have their own mini session with a few photos of their own little crew. These images truly become like a time capsule for these families, and in some instances, go on to provide comfort after loss. I think my favourite part of these shoots is watching grandparents really delight in their grandchildren. It’s always a blast! These three sessions were all very different, with one taking place in a backyard, one in the woods, and one at Civic Gardens. Here are a few highlights from each of these shoots!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Angela & Derick's Country Engagement Session
From the golden hour sunshine, to the cornfields and sunflowers, to the woodpile by the barn - this country farm engagement session was so delightful to shoot. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Catherine & Martin's Elise Perrin Williams Estate Wedding
I have so many fond memories from this day. Catherine and Martin were a dream to work with, and their beautiful outdoor wedding was one for the books. I know I say that a lot, but I can’t help it - I have had the good fortune of regularly working with such kind, easy going and lovely people - just like these two. Catherine and Martin got married on a gorgeous June day at Else Perrin Williams Estate. The trails behind Elsie Perrin are such a beautiful spot for photos, and perfect for a couple who loves to hike together (check out their fun hiking boot photos at the end of the post!). This entire day was so joyful and love-filled, and it was a delight to document. Here are some favourites!

London Ontario In-Home Newborn Session | Baby Asher
In-home newborn lifestyle sessions that involve siblings are so much fun. There are inevitably times throughout the session when baby needs to feed or be changed, and while I do photograph a lot of these in-between moments, it’s also nice to give baby a little space sometimes. It’s in these moments that I make friends with big brothers and sisters who are usually thrilled to show me their bedroom and all of their favourite toys. This leads to bed jumping (sorry, parents!), book reading, dinosaur playing and play kitchen feasting, to name a few. It also allows me to document older siblings in their element, being silly, thoughtful, and doing the stuff they like to do. This in-home lifestyle session allowed for lots of time with baby Asher’s older brother in addition to all of the newborn snuggles. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Family Photographer | Saleme's Family Beach Session
So many of my favourite things collided for this fun family beach session. An empty beach? At golden hour? With a friend and her gorgeous family? And so many fun, candid moments to document? YES PLEASE. Saleme is such a beautiful person inside and out. She has assisted me with weddings here and there and is an amazing photographer herself (her brand/product styling photography is perfection). I really loved photographer her family and am sharing some favourites on the blog today!
