Today’s post is a big one… but I can’t help myself! If you caught my sneak peek post from this wedding, you’ll know that I am totally obsessed with this day. Ausha and Gregg flew me out to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic to join them for a week while they tied the knot in the best way; under the sun, by the beach, surrounded by family and friends.

Read MoreAt the end of March, I met up with model and blogger Sehmat Suri from City Models and Nadia Dajani, stylist, blogger (Every Wear I Go) and co-owner of The Shop Splurge to create this colorful downtown fashion shoot.
I’ve been sitting on these images until I was able to announce… we were published this month in SHUBA Magazine! Here are some of my favorite shots from our collaboration.
Read MoreMy wedding season started off back in April with the sweetest elopement right on the waterfront in Halifax, Nova Scotia. When Tanya and Corey contacted me only a few months before to shoot their small wedding, I couldn’t say no - I’m a sucker for an intimate ceremony. They braved the rain to have the ceremony they dreamed of by the harbour, followed by a few photos inside their favourite restaurant, CUT Steakhouse, and reconvened the following week for some nighttime photos on the boardwalk in clearer weather.

Read MoreDanielle Grasley is one of my favourite double threat (hair AND makeup) artists here in Nova Scotia. You’ve probably seen her mentioned on my Instagram or in previous posts - we’ve worked together a lot! When she asked me to come on board for a shoot to showcase her new associates, I couldn’t say no. Here’s a little bit of the magic we captured during our quick morning shoot in downtown Halifax.
Read MoreChelsey Belliveau Photography and I became internet friends a while back, since we are both wedding photographers here in Nova Scotia. Although we’ve chatted endlessly, we only met for the first time back in April! This month, Chelsey made the trek from Yarmouth to Halifax for her birthday celebration and we squeezed in a mentorship session while she was here.
Read MoreI was SO excited when I received an email last night to inform me that this gorgeous styled shoot from December was published in May’s issue of Picton Magazine - and we got the COVER! I met lovely model Sarah Peddle last November, and although we’ve shot many times since then, this will always be my one of my favorite collaborations.
Chavah Designs was kind enough to send us both dresses pictured, and Carrie Burgess (who you may have seen me mention before… she’s an amazing floral artist) provided the stunning bouquet.
Read MoreLast month I announced that I am now offering mentoring sessions for up-and-coming photographers here in Halifax, Nova Scotia and beyond - this is something I have been dreaming of for so long, and I am so thrilled to have it become a reality! I met up with the talented Raelynn Deveau of Raelynn Deveau Photography last week at Cortado Tasting Room to discuss branding, finding her niche, and other #BOSSBABE business topics.

There’s lots of great reasons to take advantage of your included session or to book one before the big day.
Read MoreAt the end of March, I had the pleasure of meeting up with the phenomenal Meghan Lawlor Makeup for a quick branding shoot at her home and studio in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Meghan is such a warm, wonderful person and we spent more time chatting than shooting - she’s so easy to talk to, along with being incredibly talented. She even does tutorials for those who need some extra tips in the makeup department (hello, me!) that you can watch here. We snapped a few with her sweet partner, Chris, too!
