TO BE HONEST, IT'S PRETTY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO DESCRIBE MYSELF VERBALLY THROUGH WORDS AND TEXT.
SEE, I'M A VISUAL PERSON (GET IT? "SEE"? HA...) WHO TRIES TO DEFINE PARTS OF HERSELF THROUGH HER WORK. THERE ARE MANY WAYS THAT I CAN SHOW YOU WHO I AM.
BUT FIRST, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I WON'T DO...
I won't force you to smile. seriously, that's cringey.
instead, i'll tell you a joke, or say some silly things to help you ease into it. be warned that i can make some pretty corny jokes and toss in some puns here and there. i'm not sorry about that though.
but if you want to cry, cry! weep you beautiful heart out! scream! yell! RUN AROUND! whatever. be human. i always tell this to everyone, not just people i work with, but even friends and family. just. be. human. you don't need to showcase a persona with me. you don't need to pretend to be someone you're not. show me your wild, true colours, whether they are vibrant or bleak. i want to see them. i want to capture them. and i want to show how they are just as beautiful as the person exuding them.
WHAT WILL YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH ME BE LIKE?
SIMPLE. LITERALLY. I AIM TO HAVE YOUR EXPERIENCE AS SIMPLE, EASY, AND AS FUN AS POSSIBLE. because the moments you desire to be captured only happen once, and you want to reflect on them with a sense of ease and pure elation.
I never liked the use of the word "clients". Whoever i work with, you are human and you are awesome. who says our relationship stops after our photoshoot? you can tag me in a meme, email me a funny joke, or hit me up if you ever have a thought you are just dying to share with someone. i'm always open to meeting new people and embracing their stories. i want to give you an experience like friends hanging out and having fun. life really is shorter than we realize, so let's make the most of our time by capturing a memory and making a memory together. =)
LET'S TURN YOUR VISION INTO A VISUAL STORY.
Ontario Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer
Thank you so much for considering me for your next project! Let's get to work! Give me a shout on the contact form with basic details on what you are looking for, and let's make something beautiful together.
01
Woohoo! Let's set up an online chat so we can plan, discuss, vibe, joke around, what have you! Let's work together to ensure all details are covered so nothing goes missed. We'll answer any question you have and go through options for your next big visual adventure.
02
Yay! This is exciting! Once we are set and ready to go, I'll forward you the contract to sign and will require a 25% deposit to save the date of our shoot. Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer / videographer. I look forward to working with you!

I totally get it. Sometimes I have no idea what to do with my face when a camera is on me! But don't worry. I got your back. =) I will help direct in the beginning to help you get comfortable and settle in. I use prompts to bring out your natural vibe. Maybe even throw in a joke here and there to help you laugh and lighten the time around. And if there are moments where you need to take a break from all the laughing, you're more than welcome to!
I definitely do! Matter of fact, I'm in love with both mediums! Unfortunately, I don't have octopus tentacles or else I'd do both at the exact same time. So if you want both services, we will need to discuss timing for me to shoot photo and video.
Majority of the time I do, or I'll bring my husband or a friend to help me assist for bigger shoots (within your comfort level of course). For bigger weddings, I have a second shooter available for those sweet, sweet additional angles. For hair/makeup/stylists, I do have some wonderful humans to come along for the ride if needed!
I tend not to go overboard, as you are beautiful and will only do natural retouching cleanups/polishing. But if you'd like me to apply more retouching - especially with body slimming - let's discuss before the shoot so you know what to expect. I allow up to two retouching revisions per image.
I'd love to! I'm double vaccinated and ready to rumble! For shoots that are over 3+ hours away, I do require overnight accommodations. We can discuss prior to the shoot as the cost will vary per location/commute. For weddings/branding/misc. shoots outside of the province, we can discuss the details so I can provide the best personalized service possible. =)
HELL TO THE YEEEE. Though I'm sad that this has to be asked because love is love, and love always wins. No shame or judgement here in these quarters!
Oh goodness. Thank you so much for considering me! I'm excited to shoot for you! Firstly, send me a shout on my contact page with your info and the date you have in mind to shoot. If I'm available, let's set up a call! Video chat during these times are more promising so we can vibe together and note all the details. Once you're ready to settle in, I'll provide a contract to be signed and require a deposit to save the date. The remainder will need to be paid in full by the day of the shoot.
For Branding, please consider booking approximately two weeks before your ideal shoot date so we can locate hair/makeup/models/stylists. For Weddings, I always recommend couples to book between 8 months to 1 year prior to their big day to ensure availability. Let's do this!
It is very important to always follow the respective restrictions and laws of every country. I'm very careful and meticulous about your safety just as much as I am with mine. Until the COVID-19 pandemic comes to a complete close all over the world, I will be wearing a mask and social distancing for all shoots with respect to both of us. Please note that in regards to our contract, in light of any obvious violation of restrictions that was not discussed prior, and I find the environment I shoot in is deemed unsafe and unlawful, I am of my own right to vacate the premises and maintain the deposit. I understand that this may pose as a serious concern for you. If you have any questions about it, you are more than welcome to reach me and we can discuss.
Awesome! Lend forth your ideas! We can chat in more detail and I'll charge depending on the distance/any accommodations required for locations 3+ hours away.
I'm a sucker for pets! Bring your lovely critters! Though don't blame me if they steal the show. =P
It depends on the package you choose. No matter what, your content will be delivered in one way or another. I know it must be really exciting to see them! And I want to make that excitement worth it. I always promise to deliver the minimum specified in a private gallery especially for you to download and keepsake. The delivery of content depends on the volume of work and any potential revisions requested. Nonetheless, you will have the photos at least one month after your wedding or photoshoot. You can always contact me for updates!
Why you must certainly can! Who said print is dead? Pah! It never will be! If the package you seek doesn't have prints or albums included, let me know and I'll guide you through the process!
