At the end of March, I had the pleasure of meeting up with the phenomenal Meghan Lawlor Makeup for a quick branding shoot at her home and studio in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Meghan is such a warm, wonderful person and we spent more time chatting than shooting - she’s so easy to talk to, along with being incredibly talented. She even does tutorials for those who need some extra tips in the makeup department (hello, me!) that you can watch here. We snapped a few with her sweet partner, Chris, too!

Read MoreCan you believe these bright, sunny images were taken in November? The weather this winter has been so unpredictable, you have to make the best of it when you can! Christina and Lee were so much fun to work with during their engagement session in Halifax at Point Pleasant Park (even with a few wardrobe mishaps!). Their bubbly, fun attitude is so refreshing and I cannot wait to see them again for their wedding in August!
Read MoreOne of the most common questions I get from boudoir clients upon booking is: what do I wear?! Some clients feel that there aren’t enough options and others feel that there are way too many. It can also be difficult to figure out what is most flattering for each individual’s body type, and how each outfit will photograph. This post lays it all out - from teddies to thongs - to help you with your session shopping!
Read MoreMandy and Stephen had such a sweet and sunny September wedding with beautiful Long Lake as their backdrop! These two kept it traditional, forgoing the idea of a first look and saving it for Mandy’s walk down the aisle. You could really feel the love from their families on their special day; the kids were involved in the wedding and the reception was filled with loving family members (and some teary-eyed speeches). Keep reading to see more from their elegant ceremony and reception!
Read MoreKatherine and Roger are getting married in September 2019 (I can’t wait to be there to photograph it!), and these two didn’t want to wait until the spring for their engagement session! When Katherine suggested an in-home session, I was thrilled - partially because I knew their adorable pup, Murphy, would be hanging out with us too. Katherine is an amazing baker, and I loved this idea because it really gives a glimpse into how her and Rog hang out at home. Plus, I got to take the cookies home! Scroll down for more from this adorable lifestyle engagement session.
Read MoreBack in the fall, Paria of Blissful Beginnings reached out about doing a luxe styled shoot with green, gold and velvet details - perfect for inspiration for winter weddings! Andrea from Lupin Design Studio designed the gorgeous stationary and menu details, and Shannon from One Day Affairs provided the gorgeous faux floral pieces. Rentals (including that to-die-for green velvet tablecloth) were provided by Glow Parties and Events. Location was RIO Halifax which added a cool industrial feel!
Read MoreI had the opportunity to work with Maggie for the first time back in November, during a day of boudoir shooting with Emily Doyle and Mike Swiech at King’s Wharf in Dartmouth. The lovely Chavah Designs loaned us a few pieces to play with, and we had a blast with a fantastic group of models and a talented hair and make up team - along with a few mimosas!
