There’s this Facebook group I’m a part of made up of moms from in and around Kingston who all have babies roughly the same age. I’ve never been a part of something so magical. Honestly. Magical is the word. Most of the people in this group are total strangers to me but we rely on each other and we’ve gotten through a lot together. I would say that these women (along with Tarra from the FFM and my besties and family) are almost fully responsible for my confidence in starting this photography journey. Let alone turning it into a business. It was The Moms who rallied together that first year I offered red truck minis and raised so much money for charity, it’s The Moms who keep doing that same thing year after year, it’s The Moms that make up 38% of my client base (more than any other demographic), and it’s The Moms who, if my husband and I ever have a question about something kid-related in Kingston, are our first resource.
It’s become a saying in our house “We need to ask The Moms” because they just always know. My husband is mad that there isn’t an equivalent group for dads (I guess there is… but let’s be honest nothing compares to the power of a group of moms in the know)
The Kingston Moms are one of the first places I go to test out the popularity of a minis day idea. So when I asked about interest in wildflower minis, I really shouldn’t have been surprised that not only did people hype me up on the post and in my messages (seriously, they are the most supportive) but one of them even offered her family farm in a private message for the photos. The kindness of strangers always makes me so emotional. I told her I would absolutely love to use her farm and obviously would love to do her family photos in exchange.
She and her family have been so incredibly generous and welcoming. I’ve done so many sessions on their farm now (it is literally gorgeous) and The H family has even offered it up for our annual Red Truck minis for the NICU this year so we have a location a little closer to the east end mamas too. At the time of this post, I only have 5 of these red truck minis left available and we’ve raised more than our goal for the NICU. I’ll forever be grateful to these amazing women and the H family and I have a few more plans we’d like to put into action in the new year 👀
The Kindness Of Strangers
February 20, 2026
Most couples book 12–18 months out, especially for peak summer and fall dates around Kingston. That said, I do occasionally have last-minute availability — it never hurts to reach out. The sooner we connect, the better chance we have of making it work.
How far in advance should I book?
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel outside Kingston?
Absolutely. I love to travel and I regularly shoot throughout Eastern Ontario including Prince Edward County, Belleville, Napanee, and beyond. Travel fees may apply depending on distance — just ask when you inquire and I'll give you a straight answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in my wedding package?
Every package includes a complimentary engagement session, full high-resolution edited images delivered to a private online gallery with unlimited downloads, sneak peeks within a week, and me — fully present and genuinely invested in your day from start to finish. I always try to include an second shooter, depending on availability and how far out you book.
Frequently Asked Questions
how long will it take to get our photos back?
You'll get sneak peeks quickly after your wedding so you're not waiting in suspense. Full galleries are delivered with a turnaround time that lets me give every image the attention it deserves — I'll give you a specific timeline when we book so you always know what to expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's your shooting style?
Warm, real, and genuine. I focus on emotion and connection over stiff poses — the nervous laugh before the ceremony, the way your partner looks at you when you're not watching, the dancing that happens after everyone thinks the photos are done. I'll give you gentle direction when you need it and get out of the way when you don't.
Frequently Asked Questions
We're nervous in front of the camera. Is that okay?
It's actually my favourite kind of couple to work with. As a core French teacher, I've spent years learning how to make people feel comfortable in situations where they'd rather be anywhere else. By the end of their engagement session, most of my couples tell me it felt like we were all just hanging out with friends — and that's exactly when the best photos happen.
