My sessions make it easy to capture stunning images while your family has fun, with customized session planning, wardrobe styling, professional hair and makeup, quality photo time, expert editing, and more.

“With being so busy as first time parents, it was amazing not needing to worry about what we were going to wear for the photos and not needing to worry about hair and makeup. Karen made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire session and she was absolutely amazing with our little one. We truly enjoyed our experience and can’t wait to see all of the beautiful photos!”

What to Expect at Reflections

As a mom of four myself, I get how thrilling this is for you! But I also know how chaotic things can be with a one-year-old.

You can relax while I take care of everything, from hair and makeup for you to wardrobe for the whole family. Come to my studio for quality family time and play with your baby, knowing your memories are being brought to life.

After the session, return to the studio for your image reveal, choose your favourites, and leave the rest to me. I'll design, order, and install your portrait artwork.

All children develop differently, and that’s such a beautiful thing. Work with me to book your one-year session and other milestones in advance.
