This is Hayley & Daniel. They wanted to capture their first pregnancy in photographs that showed their connection to each other and their baby. Images that were candid and told a story, with beautiful light and energy in them. It was raining that day, but it let off a couple of hours before we began our photoshoot. We started off at the beach and…

The Reflections of Life photo studio is located at 42 Debora Drive in Grimsby, Ontario, Canada. It’s bright, open and newly renovated. This space is used for newborn, maternity, baby and family photoshoots. I also have wardrobe consultations and image reveals by appointment. There are a few words I would use to describe each wonderful…

This was one of those photoshoots that photographers dream about. Everyone was so happy to be there, the kids behaved well, and there was nothing but love shown by everyone the whole time. While mama and baby were getting ready for newborn photos, I started photographing the older siblings while they waited patiently. Then dad jumped…

There is so much beauty in your life. In your delicate pregnant belly and in the love you show to everyone around you. Maybe it rushed through your bedroom door this morning or you held it in your hands or you watched it appear in the sky. Maybe beauty is not in the makeup and flawless appearance, but maybe the beauty is in the gifts that we’ve…

You impact people wherever you go. You leave a legacy in the relationships you have and the love that you pour out. Everything that you do counts. Every smile. Every hug. Every encouraging word. Every cuddle. Invest your love in the lives around you because you’re creating a legacy that goes way beyond you. You impact people. You are a…

Keep dreaming. Close your eyes and get a vision for your life of what you want it to be, what story you want it to tell, what song you want it to sing. Remind your soul of why you’re here. Get to know the answer to the question of why you were made. And every single day, tell that back to yourself. Your life has value. You are on purpose. Dream bigger…

I’m sure you know that feeling, when you look at photographs from when your Mom was little, when your Grandma was first going to school, when your Great-Grandma was being married, and your heart glows? That somehow there is this connection that you feel just in having those pictures with worn-out edges and corners sitting in your palm…

Sometimes we hurry so much. We are running around and our minds are racing. We’re consuming and we’re collecting, building empires we don’t really need. What if we were actually richer with less? What if our lives became richer not by what we’re collecting and consuming, but with the people we hang out with and the fire…

It’s been TOO LONG but I’m so excited to announce my plans to begin photographing clients again on July 2, 2020. I’ve been busy behind the scenes gathering all the things we’ll need and making it easily accessible. It’s very important to me that we do this safely. Safety is #1 for all of us right now. I'm taking all precautions I can to…

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of those Pinterest-worthy family photo shoots? Typically, the burden of the planning, the shopping, and the getting dressed up all fall on the mama’s shoulders (sound familiar?). But at Reflections of Life, I do things a little differently. I have four sweet little (and not-so-little-anymore)…

I know how difficult it is to wait for the big reveal of images from a recent portrait session. You and your family looked and felt so wonderful and you not-so-secretly want to do it again soon. I don’t want to keep you waiting in suspense, so I plan for us to meet again in the studio one week after your session. We will look at the images of your gorgeous…

Imagine snuggling up with your little ones on the couch and telling them stories about how they used to kick, kick, kick so hard in your tummy. They giggle and demand to see pictures of what you looked like with their little bodies tucked safely inside. So you grab your old phone and charge it up, hoping you can still load your selfies. In the…
