Practical tips, stories, and more to simplify your motherhood journey
As a mom of 4 and family photographer of 20+ years, I’m here to help with tips, tricks, and specific recommendations for parents in the Niagara Falls, Ontario region.
Whether you’re expecting, a new mom, or a parent of young children, pour yourself a cup of tea and relax while you read.
Sense of Wonder
Babies are amazing little humans. They have so much joy, love and wonder for everything around them. They are pure innocence and pure joy. Babies see things that we, as adults, can no longer see.
And Beautiful is What You Are
Sue and Dylan came back to the Reflections of Life studio with their precious baby girl, Rylan Brianna. Sue and Dylan had previously been to the studio for Sue's maternity session, where we focused on making Sue feel as beautiful as she looked.
Never Stop Growing
As an artist and a human, I make it my mission to never stop growing and to never stop learning. It can be easy, and perhaps a little tempting at times, to fall into routine. You find a system that works for you and you stick to it. That is when you know you need to find a little inspiration.
Change of Heart
Change. It can be hard. It is rarely easy. Even the smallest change to routine can throw the rest of your day off course. More often than not, however, we must embrace change. Especially when that change is within ourselves.
Word of Mouth
As a photographer and small business owner, one of the greatest compliments to receive is a referral from a client. To know that a client not only enjoyed their session but loved their images enough to recommend Reflections of Life Photography to a loved one or friend means everything to me.
Life's Portraits
The first thing that probably comes to mind when you hear the word "portrait" is a portrait of a person, or a portrait of a family. A formal photograph. But what about life's portraits? Is it the the collection of portraits throughout our lives, or is it something more?
What You Are is Beautiful
There is a difference between looking beautiful and feeling beautiful. We are all beautiful. Beautiful in our own way. There is beauty in life. But we do not always feel beautiful.
Laughter of My Heart
Years down the road, when your little ones are grown, what do you want the sounds of your memories to be? The pitter patter of little feet, or maybe sweet sighs of "I love yous". Or maybe is the sound of laughter filling your home and your heart over the years! The giggles, the belly laughs and everything in between.
The Anticipation of Spring
There is something powerful about spring. The way it rushes into the winter and brings this tangible joy and lightheartedness that makes people want to dance in the streets.
The Value of Memories
What is the value of your memories? Can you put a price on the moments that define your life? You cannot. Luckily, as human beings, we have an incredible gift. The gift of memory.
Behind the Scenes
I am so excited to give you an inside glimpse of a Reflections of Life maternity session. I am taking you behind the scenes into my studio! The studio is where maternity, newborn and baby sessions take place.
The Lullaby of Life
A lullaby. It quiets a cranky newborn, and calms a restless toddler. A lullaby is soothing and familiar. The familiar routines of life, whether in the morning, after work or before bed become the lullabies of life.
