One of my favourite things about this job: seeing and documenting my clients friends over and over. Each of these mamas has been in front of my camera before and I know they will for sure be in front of it again! It’s absolutely everything to me that I get to watch their families grow and give them a little keepsake of each season they find themselves in over the years.

“Someone once told me that we do not choose our children, that in fact they choose us………that has stuck in my head from the moment I heard it. How beautiful is that statement? The past 10 years of being a mother has had so many really highs and so many really lows.  There never seems to be a middle ground.  How can something so scary, insane, bold, chaotic and raw be SO right? Jenna, being my first has been glued to me since day one, she is sweet, smart, silly with a little extra spunk lately and has the kindest heart of anyone I know……..at 10 she is blossoming into a strong willed, independent, powerhouse that I couldn’t be more proud of…..she was my love at first sight, she has picked me up when I am down and has never judged me for my bad days and has been right beside me for my good days. She amazes me every single day. And then came Parker, a BOY! What would I ever do with a boy? This little clone of my husband, the source of entertainment in our house, the smash into the wall, climb on everything, make the biggest mess boy, who has completely stolen the other half of my heart. Although I am not his first stop when he gets hurt or needs someone (that would be his dad) when he does make his way to me, his love radiates through him.  He is fierce and wild but sensitive and caring.  He is bold and rough and the one and only last piece of the puzzle. He takes me on a new adventure every day and even though I don’t understand the noises and thoughts that come out of him, he is the boy that I never thought I would have and he makes me a better mom. I am who I am today because these two amazing kids picked me to guide them through life, to love them unconditionally and to be there for their ups and downs. Being a mother means, laughter, unconditional love, a crowded bathtub, scrapes and bruises, perfect moments that take my breathe away, frustration, struggle, and never being able to finish a hot cup of coffee, it means standing still while they grow up right before my eyes, hopeful that they will grow into the most amazing people I have ever met and most of all proud…..proud to be lucky enough to call them mine.” – Heather

“Motherhood has been the most beautiful and most challenging stage in my life so far. These photos will be a reflection of this time in our life when these sweet girls were the centre of my universe. We will welcome a new baby in July and my first babies will be going off to school in September. It amazes me that they will be starting this new more independent chapter in their little lives and I want these memories frozen in time to cherish.” – Karen
