Post Partum shoots can be a really important part of the healing process for humans as they navigate life with their new little being. Our society is so fixated on birth being a celebratory experience that moms aren’t given the space to explore less than desireable aspects of the experience and all of the complicated emotions that come along AFTER baby is born. Kylie wanted to do a “9 Months Out” session and while it was beautiful to capture the bonding with her and Bowen, I think she also appreciated the opportunity to talk about her experience with motherhood.

Leah came in to help me create some magic at night in our downtown Winnipeg studio. We made some glorious vintage magic!

Petra had very little time to prepare for her session, but she didn’t let that stop her from showing up and killing it! She did incredible and was one of the first to partake in our Therapeutic Photography Experiences!

Who ARE you - not who do you want to BE or who WERE you - it’s who ARE you that I want to help you explore!

You have seen Jordyn in my work before, but this time was different.

The relationship between sisters is like no other. When Ryon and Regan come to play, we know it’s always going to be fire!

(if they want to)
Clothing has no gender and textures can help you find out who you are! In this session, I photographed Brian in a few glorious gowns and skirts to show that all bodies can wear whatever they want and everyone deserves to safely explore different ways of showing up! At our Winnipeg studio, this is a MUST - safety, security and comfort are all the name of the game so you can show up as your best self -whatever that looks like to you!

As much as I wish I could change your life for you, it is not my life to change.

One of our amazing hairstylists & makeup artists came in for her own session to feel like a bad ass punk princess - we danced around in the floofs, sat “like a lady” on the sofa, and played with some beautiful flowers. Take a peek at Sandy’s session.

If you are diversifying your portfolio, you don’t need to tell people what a good person you are for doing it - I break down the problematic ways in which photographers tend to look for validation in their work and how it can be harmful to their clients.

On the blog today I am chatting about FAT - the fear of FAT, being FAT, and photographing FAT!

As photographers we are trained to photograph in a very binary way - this can make it feel like we are forcing our clients into a very specific box - one that may not feel comfortable to them. In this session, we broke the box because power is not reserved only for men.
