London Ontario Family Photographer | Chilly Fall Family Session (with a sprinkle of snow!)
No one expected it would snow on the morning of this beautiful family’s Fall family session, but sure enough, the ground was covered in a sprinkling of snow, and it was just a bit chillier than we had hoped! But our positivity prevailed, and a little unexpected snow didn’t stop us from capturing some great family memories. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Family Session | Fall Family Session in the Forest
Here is another family that I’ve loved working with regularly over the past several years! These kiddos are full of energy, and we always have a blast documenting how much they’ve grown each year. For this session, we headed to Medway Forest to start in the wild overgrown fields and make our way to the leaf covered woods by the creek for some leaf throwing, log balancing, rock skipping fun. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Family Photographer | Wild Field Family Session
I love seeing this family over the years! Winston is the cutest little dude, and watching him grow is such a joy. Here are a few favourites from their session in a wild overgrown field. Late Summer/Early Fall is such a great time for photos. The warm air combined with the Autumn feel of the wild golden rod make for the best of both worlds!
London Ontario Family Photographer | Fall Foliage Family Session
Fall is such a beautiful time for family photos. This was a chilly one, but the explosion of vibrant Fall colours provided a breathtaking backdrop for this sweet family.
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Niki & Tim's Pioneer Village Wedding
I cannot even begin to express how much I loved being a part of this day. As part of the amazing HRM Photography Team, Niki is both a pal and an industry colleague, and it was such a huge honour to be asked to photograph her wedding while her HRM family attended as guests. Niki and Tim are so much fun to work with, and their wedding was one for the books. From their early morning outdoor Hindu ceremony (an exciting first for me!) to their indoor reception (complete with an outfit change!) - all on the beautiful Pioneer Village grounds - the whole day was a dream. I have such great memories from this day, and lucky me, it was featured in the Fall/Winter 2019 print edition of The Wedding Ring, so I can flip through the magazine and reminisce whenever I like! Here are some favourites:
Venue: Fanshawe Pioneer Village
Decor & Florals: The Little Shed Flower Company
Reception Bouquet & Boutonniere: Designs in Bloom
Day Of Coordination: Unmistakably You

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Jennifer & Ryder's Grand Bend Engagement Session
I absolutely loved working with Jennifer and Ryder. Their engagement session fell on a gorgeous late Summer day. We started with a wooded trail walk and enjoyed the sun shining through the trees, and eventually headed to the beach for some sunset snuggles. If you’ve never enjoyed a wine bottle for two on a beach log at sunset, these two sure made it look like the perfect romantic date idea! What better way to end the night than with a sunset beach silhouette shot. Here are a few favourites from their Grand Bend engagement session!
London Ontario Family Photographer | Sunset Port Stanley Beach Family Session
I am so excited to share this beautiful sunset family session today. This shoot took place on a beautifully sunny, incredibly windy late Summer evening. There were actual wind warnings for the area, and the waves were unbelievably high. Nonetheless, after chatting about our options, we decided to go for it. And I am so glad we did. We mostly stayed away from the water’s edge to avoid the worst of the wind, and the beach was completely empty due to the weather conditions. The delicious golden hour light was to.die.for., and this gorgeous family put together the most beautiful outfits for their beach session. So many playful, snuggly candid moments. The whole shoot was a dream. Here are some favourites!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Jane & Matt's Rustic Barn Wedding
I absolutely loved working with this sweet couple. They just exude kindness, and their entire day was filled with joy and laughter. Their wedding took place on a beautiful farm property, with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour surrounded by trees and overlooking the pond, followed by a stunning barn reception. We took their engagement photos on this same property, but during the Winter and in the middle of a blizzard! As a result, these two have two totally different sets of images from the same meaningful place. I have such happy memories from this cheerful, laid bak day - here are some favourites!

London Ontario Family Photographer | Medway Heritage Forest Family Session
I love photographing this beautiful family year after year! My loyal, repeat clients truly become a part of what I call my “Raw Footage Family”, and I am so so thankful for them! This year, we walked around Medway Heritage Forest on a beautiful Summer evening for some rock skipping and family snuggles.
