live to love studio

About

I'm a mother, photographer, and doula living in a small cottage town with my husband, two kids, and our senior cat. We make the most of our backyard, the garden we grow every summer, and the trails that surround us—this place keeps us grounded and inspired.

I believe in meaningful connections and prefer real conversations over small talk. I’m passionate and spirited, but also an old soul. I enjoy experimenting with different art forms, from photography to knitting, and love finding new ways to express creativity. When I'm not working, you'll find me with a good book, listening to music, cooking, or outside/camping with my kids.

I grew up in Port Perry and feel the most at home near the water.

Growing up, I found myself mesmerized by the photographs in my family albums. Each one was a window into a moment, full of life and history. I’d trace the edges and creases of those photos, wondering about the stories behind them, long before I understood how deeply these moments shaped my desire to document life.

My Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography deepened that fascination, grounding my passion in the art and history of capturing life. It wasn’t until I planned my own wedding and became a mother that I truly understood the value of images that capture emotions, relationships, and moments that tell a larger story.
