One of the hottest trends the last couple of years is having one or more wedding #hashtaga. These #hashtags can then be used by guests when they are posting photos on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. The bride and groom can then look back by searching the hashtags to see what everyone posted. It can be a lot of fun.

The saying “Never judge a book by its cover”, while charming, isn’t entirely plausible in the real world. The reality is that we are all judged, or perceived, by the way we look. And, particularly when it comes to professional situations—job interviews, making connections, meeting clients, networking—we have a short amount of time to make a good first impression.

That’s why it’s incredibly important to always appear professional, both in-person and online. And while most professionals understand the importance of business professional attire in-person, far too many fail to exude that same professionalism online—the very first place (or next place) most professional contacts will see you!

Below we discuss 5 ways a professional headshot can be advantageous to your career and put you on the launchpad to success.

Tying the knot is one of the most exciting and life-changing decisions that you will ever make. You want the ceremony to be as special and memorable as possible. One of the most important decisions that you will be making is choosing who and how your wedding day will be captured. The person who will capture the moments you will cherish for a lifetime. Maybe you could ask your cousin  or your uncle who are amateur photographers. They will probably do it for free, and you could save yourself some money. Why is this not a good idea? Why do you want to hire a professional wedding photographer for your wedding day? There is an enormous benefit to having a professional photographer to capture your wedding and these benefits far outweigh whatever it is that you will save by having your cousin or uncle photograph it for free. Weddings are such a whirlwind of excitement and activity, you need somebody that will be able to capture your memories in the best way possible.

Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the year! And Christmas tree mini sessions are always so much fun and they some of my favourite mini sessions to do. I am so fortunate to always sell out so fast for my dates! In 2019, I partnered with Benjamin Tree Farm outside Waterloo and Evergreen Christmas Tree Farm outside Guelph to host some awesome Christmas Tree Mini Sessions. I typically host these sessions near the beginning of November, so that people have time to send out Christmas cards to family and friends. Another couple of reasons are that the tree farms are usually not as busy yet and it usually the temperature is not too cold. Although, in 2019 it was very chilly out when I was taking those photos.

This year I did Pumpkin and Leaf Minis at two locations; One at the Royal City Park in Guelph,Ont and another at the Huron Natural Area in Kitchener,Ont.

What can I say about Huron Natural Area? Other than half the time I call it Huron Nature Area or Huron Park. Huron Natural Area,Kitchener's largest and most valuable natural space, is a oasis of natural beauty but also education. The park has recently had some upgrades including:

I have been wanting to be able to capture a breastfeeding photo session for a while now, but didn't get to it until a little while ago. The week that I took the photos coincided with World Breast Feeding Week. I thought to myself that this is a good chance to finally take some of those breast feeding pictures I have wanted to. This beautiful mamma here answered to my model call that I posted on my Facebook page and let me take pictures of her nursing her little baby girl. It was such a fun session to be apart and I am so thankful that I got to capture this all. As a mother of two boys that were exclusively breastfed, I feel honoured to be able to photograph a mom doing this very beautiful, sacrificial, and loving work for her child. Not all mom's ....
