The Millcroft Inn & Spa is a great wedding venue! I grew up here, and long before I began photography I’ve been hiking the grounds and exploring. These two chose to support local vendors and hired me as their photographer. I can’t say enough good words about how genuine the love is between these two. The smiles, tears and special shared moments during the day made for a beautiful wedding.
I couldn’t decide what images to post, so I’m uploading a bunch of them!
Newborn Shoot | August 2022 | Homeshoot
In-home shoots for newborns work so well. Comfy, relaxed and easy to change a diaper if needed! We plan for the worst, but this little guy was on the ball during our shoot! He was so full of expression and shared lots of faces in the short hour we were together:
S & R Wedding | August 2022 | Cellar 52
This wedding was just about as fun as it gets! These two are constantly smiling, cracking jokes and enjoying each others company. I went to school with the Groom (plus some of the wedding party) and so it was extra special being apart of their big day. Here are a quick few from the day. Congratulations to Shayne and Rachael:

Wedding Season 2022 | Here we go! | Engagement Shoot June 2022
This year is going to be a busy one! Weddings, real estate, modeling shoots an more.
These two had to move their date because of Covid and it’s finally time to start getting excited! We started an hour before sunset and kept going until the colours popped. My favorite shoot this year so far. (although I tend to say that literally every shoot I do!)
Later this year I’ll be photographing this awesome couple’s wedding:
2022 & Beyond
WOW. The past two years have been SO different than any other for my photography business. I wanted to take the time to thank all of my clients for their business & support! Being a small business, I’m grateful for each opportunity - it means the world to me.
During the past few years my clients have brought me along with them through some unique journeys including wedding with only 5 people! (including the bride & groom)
I’ve been through milestones such as baptisms, 80th bday parties and lots of family shoots! I’ve also been busy with Real Estate photography as well.
With Covid related restrictions lifting soon I’m beyond excited for the 2022 photographic year ahead. Here are some random pictures from the past 6 months:
2022 is already shaping up to be an awesome year - I’m beyond excited!

Secret Proposal Photography | Orangeville, Ontario
I’ve got to tell this cool story! Clinton deserves some brownie points or a medal for orchestrating such an amazing proposal. He reached out to me in hopes of being able to secretly capture his proposal without her seeing or knowing I was there… of course I wanted to be a part of it! So after a bit of back and forth about locations, Clinton went a few days early to a local hiking trail I suggested and found the absolute PERFECT spot to pull off this plan. He sends me photos along with his thoughts and backup locations just in case.
Fast-forward to the day of: I arrived early so I could scope out a place to hide and be sure I’ll be hidden. Trouble is, ALL the leaves on the tree’s that would normally provide great cover are all on the ground. This mean’s I’ve got nothing to hide behind, and if I moved at all, the sound would be SO loud from the dried leaves. After searching and searching, the angle I decided on had me fully prone in a small "ditch” only a few feet away from the trail. I knew if I laid still and on my stomach they’d have a really hard time seeing me, and the angle was the best angle for pictures - so I committed to the muddy/leafy ditch.
15 minutes go by and I hear leaves rustling... they are early. I triple check the camera settings and as I’m right about to pop out and start taking shots I see 4 legs… a dog! False alarm! Both the dog and their human walk by without seeing me. My hiding spot must be pretty good considering I was less than 10 feet away from the trail.
10 more minutes go by and I hear two faint voices and some footsteps. I listen closely until I hear their feet stop. It’s go time! Like a ninja, I slowly push up onto my elbow’s and lock onto the proposal that’s seconds away from taking place. This is what I captured:

Rustic Backyard Wedding | Hailey & Kyle | Honeywood, ON 2020
These two were an absolute joy to photograph. I feel like I always say this… but this wedding was SO MUCH FUN. The smiles, jokes and shenanigans were non-stop from beginning to end. Also, the bride decorated her own wedding by herself in less than two weeks!
