This summer I photographed my friend Taryn and her family at Howell’s Farm in Niagara, the same sunflower fields we visited last year, but this time with their newest little one, baby Grace. Family photos aren’t just about pretty backdrops; they’re about marking each chapter as your family grows. The laughter, the chaos, the small in-between moments, that’s the magic worth remembering.

When Ian planned a surprise proposal for Maddyy at Konzelmann Estate Winery, I got to play the ‘winery photographer’ to keep the secret.

Classic architecture, dreamy lighting, room service in robes, a spa day with mimosas, and slow mornings with good food and good company. I took photos, I rested, I created and I left feeling like myself again.

Taking care of my body and mind will be a lifelong responsibility. It means constantly adapting, learning, and finding ways to manage the pain, the swelling, the fatigue, and the emotional toll of it all.

In the vast realm of photography, it's not merely about freezing moments in time; it's about weaving stories, capturing emotions, and creating visual narratives that transcend the frame.
