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.

The Pillars

— Specialized Milestone Services

Birthday Editorials

From the first year to the golden years. We capture the festivities with a focus on candid interactions, the environment of the party, and the key highlights of the celebration without interrupting the flow of your event.

Graduation Portraits

Commemorating academic achievement with a modern twist. Ditch the stiff studio backdrop for a session on campus or in downtown Kitchener that reflects your transition into the professional world.

Anniversaries & More

Celebrating long-term commitment and life’s big "wins." Whether it's a 25th anniversary or a retirement celebration, we document the legacy of your success and the people who helped you reach it.

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.
