Professional Styling Services

Client Before & Afters:

Including expert hair & makeup for moms—because our needs often come last.

  • As a new parent, even a quick shower can feel like a luxury. Take a break from the dry shampoo, I've got you covered.

    Your stylist will put together looks for your whole family from our studio wardrobe. And your professional hair & makeup artist will help you finally feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

    Because your portrait session should be something you look forward to, not another thing on your to-do list.

Portrait Experience

The Studio:

A place you can be yourselves in front of the camera.

  • When you arrive at my Grimsby, Ontario studio, you'll find a space made for real-life families.

    I want you all to feel relaxed here, like you can have fun! With natural light and my years of experience working with children of all ages, the whole process is baby-friendly.

    Everything you need to feel comfortable is here: soft music, water, wardrobe, and activities for your little ones.

Image Reveal and Artwork

Storywalls, Albums & More:

Take home your memories and smile every time you see them on the wall.

  • Just a week after your session, pop back into the studio to choose your favourite portraits and pick out artwork.

    I'll turn your images into albums and framed wall portraits, and hand-deliver them when they're ready! I even install your framed art and storywalls in your home for you.

I handle every detail, so you can focus on making memories with your loved ones that will last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Sure! I love capturing maternity portraits in a variety of settings, whether it’s our scenic outdoor tree tunnel and road location or my comfortable indoor maternity photo studio in Grimsby. As your professional maternity photographer in Ontario, I’ll work with you to select a location that reflects your personality and style, ensuring your maternity photos are both beautiful and meaningful.

  • Yes, you can for sure! I seamlessly include partners and siblings to participate in the maternity photoshoot to capture the love and excitement surrounding your growing family. Whether it’s a cozy family portrait or intimate moments between you and your partner, I’ll ensure everyone feels comfortable and included during the session.

  • Newborns are best photographed within the first two weeks of life when they are still sleepy and curly, allowing us to capture those adorable curled-up poses. However, every time is a good time for a relaxing and comfortable newborn photoshoot. To secure your spot on my calendar, I recommend scheduling your newborn session as early as possible (if possible during your first or second trimester). Even if your delivery date differs from the original one, I’ll adjust your newborn photography session accordingly.

  • To prepare for your newborn session, just feed your baby shortly before the session to ensure they’re nice and sleepy. Dress them in loose-fitting clothing to avoid any marks on their skin, and don’t worry about bringing props or outfits—I have everything we need in my Grimsby newborn photography studio to create beautiful images of your baby.

  • Apart from newborn photography services, I also offer six-month baby photography and one-year baby photography services in Niagara, Grimsby, and surrounding areas. You can even schedule a baby photography session for your little one’s half birthday, when they’re 6 months old and just starting to sit up independently but before they start crawling. These stages allow us to capture their adorable expressions and milestones, from their first smiles to their curious explorations of the world around them.

  • As your trusted maternity photographer in Niagara and Grimsby, Ontario, I coordinate with professionals for expert hair and makeup services for moms to help you look and feel your best during your maternity session. Our professional stylists will enhance your natural beauty and ensure you feel confident and radiant in front of the camera, allowing you to focus on enjoying the experience and creating lasting memories with your family.
