There’s something about the things we’re told not to touch, the places we’re told not to wander, and the parts of ourselves we’re sometimes afraid to embrace. Maybe it’s the mystery of it all, or the beauty in the things that aren’t meant to be understood. 🍎🖤

This shoot was created around that feeling — dark, seductive, a little haunting, and unapologetically feminine. I wanted to play with the warmth of autumn against the shadows of the forest, creating something that feels almost like a dream you can’t quite explain.

And maybe not everything beautiful is meant to be innocent. 🥀

The first & last photos might be my favourite frames from this shoot. 🥹

There’s just something about the colours, the styling, and the way the light was hitting everything that made this whole series feel so special. Kensington Market gave us so much to work with, and I loved being able to let the surroundings become part of the story instead of just being a backdrop.

I’m always drawn to images that feel like they could belong to another time, but still feel completely present. These definitely have that feeling for me. 🎞️🤎

Which ones are your fave? 🫶🏽

This one started with @samaram1tchell ‘s vision. 🫶🏽

She reached out to me with an 80s-inspired concept she wanted to bring to life, and I was immediately excited to see what we could create with it. We took her vision to Kensington Market and let the colours, streets, and energy of the neighbourhood become part of the story. ✨

I love when I get to take someone else’s idea and interpret it through my own lens. There’s something really special about creating something together that neither of us could have made alone. 🎞️

There’s something so beautiful about freckles, wild curls, and the way sunlight finds its way through ☀️.

A little piece of a fairytale, but still so much like her. Nothing too perfect, nothing too posed. Just soft light, a little mystery, and the kind of beauty that feels like it belongs in the forest. 🌿

There’s something about the forest that makes everything feel a little more magical. 🌿

For this shoot, I wanted to create something that felt like a storybook come to life. Soft fabrics, wild curls, freckles, and a little bit of mystery tucked between the trees. The kind of beauty that feels natural, unhurried, and almost like a memory you’ve carried with you.

A little reminder that some of the most beautiful moments are found in the in-between.🤍

Before the tiny hands, the sleepless nights, the first smiles and all the moments still waiting to happen — there’s this quiet little chapter where it’s just mama and baby, getting to know each other in their own way.

I think that’s what I loved most about this session. Nothing felt rushed. Just soft light, still water, and a beautiful mama waiting to meet her little one. 🤍

There’s something so beautiful about photographing a season of life that only exists for such a short while. 🤍

The quiet anticipation, the feeling of knowing everything is about to change, and the little life growing right in the middle of it all.

I wanted this session to feel soft, dreamy, and almost like a memory from a dream — just her, the evening fog, the water, and this beautiful chapter she’s stepping into.

So grateful I got to capture this for @victoriasparks. 🤍

Where She Meets Herself was created as a celebration of joy, softness, and self-discovery. What started as a simple creative concept quickly became one of my favourite editorials to date. 💖

Seeing it on the cover of @offtownmagazine is something I’m incredibly grateful for. 🤍

Thank you to @apinchofava and @samaram1tchell for helping bring this vision to life. This one will always hold a special place in my heart. 🌸🫧 taken in Toronto, Ontario by @slr.to

This shoot wasn’t about following trends or fitting into what people expect. It was about confidence, individuality, and embracing the parts of ourselves that make us stand out. 🔥

Every detail—from the custom hair dye design to the attitude they brought in front of the camera—felt unapologetically authentic.

As a photographer, these are the stories I love documenting most. The moments where people stop asking for permission to be themselves and simply exist as they are.

And honestly? That’s always going to be beautiful to me.

Golden Hour Goddess. 🧡

I envisioned warm coastal light, volcanic tones, weathered stone, and a woman who looked as though she belonged to the sun itself. Then everything else simply fell into place.

This was more than a photoshoot—it was a reminder that sometimes the best creations come from trusting the process, embracing the unexpected, and letting the location choose you.
