I was finally able to access my contest results from the international Shoot & Share contest (photographer friends, you know what I’m talking about!). Shoot & Share is an annual peer-reviewed photography contest with over 46,000 photographers submitting and 1.1 million photos entered. This was my first year entering, and I am so thrilled to share my results! Out of the 15 images I entered, 2 placed in the top 20% of images and 2 placed in the top 30%.

Read MoreIf you’ve been following along on my Instagram, you may have noticed a tropical theme over the past week - I was away in the Dominican Republic to photograph Ausha and Gregg’s stunning destination wedding! It was a whirlwind trip from a last minute booking, and I’m so happy to have connected with such a wonderful couple who trusted me enough to fly to another country and spend their big day with them. Here are a few previews from their wedding in paradise!
Read MoreIt’s a rainy day here in Halifax, so I want to brighten things up by sharing this warm and sunny wedding from the summer! Kristy and Ryan had their wedding at the lovely Beavercreek Winery, a rustic venue in Lawrencetown with over 21 different kinds of wine. I love the thoughtful details in their day, like the chandelier in the ceremony platform, and the thoughtful bouquet charms for loved ones who were there in spirit. They also had a special ceremony guest (one of my favorite parts of shooting here… the adorable animal photobombs). Scroll through to see more from Kristy and Ryan’s beautiful celebration!
Read MoreCan you believe these bright, sunny images were taken in November? The weather this winter has been so unpredictable, you have to make the best of it when you can! Christina and Lee were so much fun to work with during their engagement session in Halifax at Point Pleasant Park (even with a few wardrobe mishaps!). Their bubbly, fun attitude is so refreshing and I cannot wait to see them again for their wedding in August!
Read MoreOne of the most common questions I get from boudoir clients upon booking is: what do I wear?! Some clients feel that there aren’t enough options and others feel that there are way too many. It can also be difficult to figure out what is most flattering for each individual’s body type, and how each outfit will photograph. This post lays it all out - from teddies to thongs - to help you with your session shopping!
Read MoreChelsey and Ron tied the knot during a sweet ceremony by the ocean, surrounded by simple greenery, at one of my top five locations - St. Mary’s Boat Club. I absolutely adored their navy blue and gold color scheme, complemented by Ron’s suit (check out his amazing tie!). They had the CUTEST wedding favors too - they met on Tinder and gave out matchbooks embossed with “it’s a match”! These lovebirds were so filled with love and emotion the whole day, and I feel honored that they chose me to capture it.
Read MoreBack in December, the lovely Jennifer of Jennifer Murphy Beauty and I put together a giveaway for a portrait session with make up application for residents of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Ashley Kielbratowski was our contest winner and she chose to use her session for updated photos of herself and her co-founders at Harbr Retail AI! After some glam time in Jen’s studio, I met up with Ashley, Jeff, and Dave to shoot these portraits in their office space in downtown Halifax.
Read MorePoint Pleasant Park here in Halifax is one of the most popular requests I get for engagement sessions. It’s a beautiful park, and I try to make each couple’s session feel unique. I had the opportunity to play with more of a film style for this session with Mandy and Stephen and I love how it turned out! These edits are based on vintage films (primarily Delta 3200 and Ektar films) and I think they suit their session perfectly.
Read MoreRachael and Ben are two of the kindest people you could ever meet. Their whole wedding day radiated LOVE; from the father/daughter first look - which brought tears to everyone’s eyes - to their first dance as a married couple, you could feel the warmth and emotion from everyone in attendance. They got married at Oakfield Golf & Country Club, which coincidentally, is where they met and fell in love! Lindsey and I had such a wonderful time cruising around on golf carts (my first time learning to drive them) and capturing this gorgeous day.
Read MoreI’m into celebrating women everyday, but today is extra special - it’s International Women’s Day! I hope you all take some time to appreciate the strong women in your life this weekend.
I’ve been so lucky to have worked with some absolutely phenomenal women over the past few months - one of them being Ka, an amazing inked model, burlesque dancer, and total badass. We had an all around amazing team of women working on this shoot. Scroll down for more!
