😎 I really think it’s unfair how teenagers don’t have the weird awkward phase anymore. After having hundreds in front of my camera the last few years I’m convinced they all skip the weird part and go straight into being literally so cool.

Still one of my most favorite maternity sessions EVER 😍😍

Emma was not only one of my seniors, one of many, many that I had the privilege of having in front of my camera. She was also the best babysitter and the most reliable, wonderful pet sitter when we would travel all over the place. There isn’t a single doubt in my mind that she’s going amazing places. Her heart is so beautiful.

Hello friends,

It’s been awhile since I posted some work on here so I thought over the course of the next couple weeks as we head off on our next adventure I would post some of my favorite images from the past 3 years here in Georgia. Obviously starting with Janet from last night at the at the historic hay house in Macon.

Getting to shoot here was a dream. And shooting here with Janet was just magic. I met Janet through our time at homegrown yoga and she’s one of the most real, kind and genuine good hearted people and also happens to be ridiculously gorgeous!

📣 BIG NEWS 📣

So although I don’t keep up with social media, I’ve had the privilege of photographing hundreds of families, seniors and special moments during our time here in Perry Georgia. It’s been nothing short of pure magic. I’ve loved running from the snakes, making your children laugh, and meeting the most wonderful clients that very quickly became wonderful friends.

With all that said, our family is now heading back home to Canada after these amazing 3 years and making Whitehorse, Yukon Territory our new home. From the sunny south to the arctic 😂

So thank you so so much to all my clients for these past 3 years. It means more to me then I can ever express in a post.

If you’re ever in the north look me up 🤍

Two posts in one week, let alone one month! I’m on a roll. But I mean I couldn’t not tell you about this power house. .lynn.peebles is not only a phenomenal real estate agent, she also owns and maybe you’ve been to one of my fav little Perry gems , our girl heather literally built all their furniture. This woman is a force, and it was an honor to work with her ☀️

✨ Every single time I get to hang out with a senior not only do my cheeks hurt from non stop laughter but I get a small glimpse into the super rad humans heading into adulthood. Jasyria was SO much fun and no doubt will be a world changer ✨

Hi, it’s me. Things have been so quiet in my tiny corner of instagram. I’ve still been having the most fun with my clients, capturing their smallest and biggest memories ( like buying a brand new house 🏡), their weddings, their laughter and their love. I’ll be honest, I’ve intentionally stopped posting my work here. It didn’t feel authentic, I felt like I always have to come up with witty captions, and although I’m hilarious it didn’t come naturally to me here. Creating reels for the sake of likes on my art drains me. So I’ll just casually pop in and say hello once in awhile and show you a mini peek into what my camera has seen. Like these two beautiful people.

Happy summer fraaandsss! I’m currently in an editing nest getting caught up on sessions. I’m still on very limited availability for the month of July but should be back full swing August. How are you spending your summer? What’s been the best memory so far?

06/10/2022

Will I make you dance and twirl and fake laugh until you real life at your session? Yep! And it’ll be the MOST fun!

06/07/2022

The question of the hour is will I ever get better at social media?! Probably not. I’ve got about 14 sessions to share from so over the next few days I’d love if I popped in your feed if you just double tapped and loved the image. I have very limited availability between now and the end of August ( which is craaaazyyy ) so if you’re wanting on the books pop me a DM 🤩

✨ I’m currently looking for ☀️TWO☀️ families for a model call. I’m offering these sessions at half price and including 10 images. If this sounds like you, sliiidddeeee into my DMs✨

✨ I don’t typically photograph weddings anymore. It has to feel special and right for me to book it. When I say special and right i mean elopements, intimate gatherings, a little slow down from the hustle and bustle of big weddings. This one, it felt right. Surrounded by their closest of close and you could feel the love everywhere ✨

05/12/2022

✨ one thing I love most about family sessions ( aside from the non stop laughter and jokes ) is the few moments we sneak a couple rad photos for mom and dad. Just a couple quieter moments just for the two of them. Yes, there are usually tiny humans around their feet ( and my feet 😂 ) but I just love giving them a little bit of a minute to capture just them. ✨

This was such an honor, and just so exciting! If you want to read a little about me and aligned + kind photo co. Here is a super fun little article.

Thank you to all my clients, friends and clients that became friends for the last almost decade of memories and moments captured from my lens. Here’s to another ten years.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashley Gingras and we've shared our conversation below. Hi Ashley, we'd love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking In terms of risk, I think every time you contemplate starting a business its a risk. You are crippled with the worry that th

I will forever tell the story of the first time I showed up to a senior session here in Georgia thinking it was going to be a cute old lady or little old man and I was envisioning Disneys up…. What I got was indeed not an adorable elderly human but a super cool teenager. ( I’m still unsure why teenagers don’t have to go through that weird awkward stage anymore )

In Canada senior sessions both old and young just aren’t a thing. However they’re quickly becoming my most favorite thing ( the young ones, still haven’t found that adorable elderly human 😂)

May is like crazy booked for me, however I’ll always make time for those last minute seniors because they’re just the most fun. So slide into my DMs if like me you’re just real bad at planning and need to get in those portraits✨

This is like my second home. I felt so honored to be just a small part of Homegrown Yogas amazing yoga for a cause. I’m always looking for great ways to contribute to our community and this one just felt extra special 🤍

THANK YOU ❤️ THANK YOU 🙏 THANK YOU ❤️ Thanks to you, we will be delivering a donation of $2️⃣1️⃣5️⃣5️⃣ to Crisis Line & Safe House of Central Georgia, Inc. We cannot imagine a better way to recognize the importance of this organization’s work and Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

To be transparent, Yoga with a Cause was initially planned to be a small donation-based yoga class. But the Homegrown teachers, teacher trainees and community decided we were going B I G and did the hard work to make that happen. Thank you to those people and to each of you who supported this event through your attendance, bids and social media love. We also want to say a direct thank you to those businesses that donated to our silent auction. If you’re looking to support small businesses that support the local community without asking for a thing back, look no further than right
