THE BLOG
Support, stories, and more for your motherhood journey.
Hey there! Welcome to our blog, your cozy corner where we dive into all things family, newborn, maternity, and baby photography. Being an experienced professional photographer in Ontario, I share practical tips, insights, and plenty of inspiration tailored for expecting mothers, new moms, and parents of Niagara Falls, Grimsby, and nearby areas. But wait, there’s more! My blog is not just about photography – it’s all about building a supportive community for new moms and parents, offering resources, encouragement, and a whole lot of virtual hugs. So grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and join us on this beautiful journey of family and community.
Simply Baby
There is beauty in simplicity. An everlasting beauty that is seen by the masses. As a photographer, it can be so easy to get caught up in the grande setups, frilly outfits and colorful accessories. To get caught up in the trends of the time.
Mama's Day Petite Sessions
Recently, Reflections of Life Photography went on location to the Happy Baby Shop to hold Mama's Day Petite Sessions. I love doing these special sessions because it gets the mamas out there in front of the camera with their little ones instead of behind it.
Sense of Wonder
Babies are amazing little humans. They have so much joy, love and wonder for everything around them. They are pure innocence and pure joy. Babies see things that we, as adults, can no longer see.
Never Stop Growing
As an artist and a human, I make it my mission to never stop growing and to never stop learning. It can be easy, and perhaps a little tempting at times, to fall into routine. You find a system that works for you and you stick to it. That is when you know you need to find a little inspiration.
In Honour of Mama's Day
Welcome mamas! In honour of Mother's Day, on Friday, April 22, 2016 from 10-1 pm, The Happy Baby and Reflections of Life Photography will be offering mama & baby photography sessions, right there in the store. No need to make an appointment, just pop in and we'll document the relationship you have with each other in a beautiful, meaningful way.
Family is More Than Blood
Family is more than blood. Family starts with choosing. I think family is a choice. Family is the choice to look at your husband or wife every day and choose them. Family is a decision to when your stomach flutters with life to say I choose them.
A Little Time With Baby Weston
You want to document your young family through photographs. But life is chaotic. It can get stressful. Sometimes even overwhelming. You should be able to enjoy this life you chose. A photograph reminds you. It reminds you to pause. Reminds you of what matters. Reminds you to breathe...

Why We Need Less Perfection and More Purpose
Sometimes things just don't happen in the way that we want them to; they don't show up like what we hope for and sometimes they take longer than we ever wanted. There are some things in life we cannot control and we cannot just wake up one day and make happen…
