Birthdays &
Milestones
Honouring the
moments that matter.
Event or Lifestyle Session
The Philosophy
Celebration without compromise. I believe milestone photography should capture the energy of the day while maintaining an editorial, timeless aesthetic.
Whether it's a first birthday, a significant anniversary, or a hard-earned graduation from UWaterloo or Laurier, these moments deserve more than just snapshots. I focus on the atmosphere, the details, and the genuine joy of people coming together to celebrate a life well-lived.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you shoot in Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge? ↓
I photograph families at several curated outdoor locations across Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge, as well as in my professional studio. Whether you prefer the natural backdrops of local conservation areas or a controlled studio environment, we will choose the perfect setting for your family’s story.
What should my family wear for our session? ↓
Don’t worry about clashing outfits! Every Signature and Heritage booking includes my Professional Styling Guide. It covers color palettes, texture coordination, and tips to ensure your family looks timeless and cohesive without looking "matchy-matchy."
Do you offer physical prints and wall art? ↓
Yes! While high-res digitals are included in every package, I believe photos are meant to be held. Professional heirloom prints start at $30, and you can easily order a variety of sizes—from gift prints to large canvases—directly through your private online gallery.
Can we include grandparents or extended family? ↓
Absolutely. While my Petit sessions are for immediate family, the Heritage Collection is specifically designed for larger groups of up to 12 people. It’s the perfect way to capture multi-generational portraits and the unique "rhythm" of your extended family.
What happens if it rains on our session date? ↓
The weather in Southern Ontario can be unpredictable! For outdoor sessions, I monitor the forecast closely. If rain is expected, we will either move your session to the studio or reschedule to the next available clear date at no extra cost.
