Baby Lily has arrived!  This little muffin was just 9 days old when I visited proud parents Karen and Adam at their home for Lily’s first photo shoot.  Having taken Karen’s maternity photos weeks earlier it was really special to see Lily nestled in her parent’s arms and outside of the belly!  Lily weighed in...

joanna + sean | george restaurant | toronto

  Joanna and Sean are the picture of sweetness together.  I am not normally prone to bouts of gushing, but these two together are the recipe for love and laughter and happily-ever-after.  They both wear their hearts on their sleeves, and in the short time we spent with the two of them, we found it...

magda + steve | the oakville club

  Magda and Steve picked the hottest week in history to get married.  Wow, was it HOT.  The temperature was something like 45 degrees with the humidity .  We were all melting, yet Magda and Steve were amazing despite the heat.  I think most couples would have trudged through the heat reluctantly for a few...

atee + pendar | toronto board of trade

What a gorgeous summer day it turned out to be for Atee and Pendar’s super cute vintage-themed Persian wedding (interesting combination, we know).  Both Atee and Pendar have a background in graphic design, and so we knew that the wedding would be infused with many artistic elements (you can see some of Pendar’s creative talents...

jessica + mike | liberty grand | toronto

Jessica and Mike’s story began where I think more romances begin than we know – at the office.  They began as colleagues, then became friends, and finally, Mike cautiously asked Jessica out on a real date.  One thing led to another, and voila, there they were – engaged in the romantic city of Paris, France...

Nearly 2 years after I photographed their wedding, I received a phone call from Adam and Karen letting me know they were expecting! I couldn’t be happier for them, and I was excited to document this extraordinary moment in their lives together.  Having just had my own baby 10 weeks ago, I could totally relate...
