A few things about me when I'm not photographing...

I'm a tea drinker, I drink around 4-5 HUGE mugs of strong tea a day, and usually have a cup on the go during a session! Blame it on my English roots!

I'm also a bit of a Winno (red) and a Gin officianado. Friends and FB followers will often see me post "It's Gin O'Clock" on Fridays and know exactly what thats all about!

I'm a keen gardener and DIY-er. From gutting and installing kitchens & bathrooms, to designing & planting a number of large gardens over the years in the various houses I've lived in.

We have 2 fur babies: A Westie named Daisy and her puppy (home grown) Poppy, a Westie-Poo! They are my muses and I've been known to make them the subjects of the occasional fantacy image, especially around halloween. Of course Daisy has her own Instagram account @daisymaywestie

I'm a competative sailor, who for the best part of 30 years has raced a variety of keel boats 2-4 times a week during the summer season, in and around the Superior North Shore. We've also participated in a regatta in the BVI's and won our division! Yey! Check out my sailing photography on FB @ThunderBaySailing

Living on the Lake we're now learning to paddleboard.

I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan, having read each book (as it was launched) to my daughters, character voices and all! They in turn have developed into HP officianado's. For my birthday a few years ago we all got a tattoo of The Deathly Hallows... if you know, you know! Check out my Potterhead Gallery in the portfolio.

I ADORE my hubby Alan. He is my partner in every sense of the word, and my biggest cheerleader. In his own right Alan is a film maker, TBay's foremost Drone Pilot. and IT Director of a school board. We work together on weddings (@imaginephotocinema), and I assist him as second shooter on corporate shots (@imaginefilms).

In 2021 we took a leap-of-faith and sold our 9 year old home in Port Arthur and bought an old family Lakehouse, moved to Lake Superior and started the renovation adventure. Follow along the mayhem on our Instagram account @we_bought_a_lakehouse

I started my photography business when my daughters were little, and I was a newly single parent. I had a passion for photography since my childhood, though I was guided into my first career as a nurse. Photography remained a hobby for me and I took MANY courses and workshops between nursing exams and promotions. After 11 years, during which I worked my way up to become an ICU head nurse we emergrated to Canada and I was given the opportunity to start my photography business and I've not looked back!

Photography styles have changed over the years and I changed right along with them, but today
I find myself going back to my roots with a more relaxed and natural style, especially with newborns and babies. They say "what goes around, comes around!" and that couldn't be more true with my work!
I started as a "documenary" (lifestyle) photographer, and as my life circumstances chaged so did my photography style!
25 years later, opening a brand new and purpose built studio space (my fourth studio!) has allowed me to revamp what I offer my clients and only provide them with the services and products I truly love!

Photographying babies has always been "a given" for me, but I developed a real passion for photographing women. Be they expectant mothers celebrating their beautiful bumps, boudoir \ clients looking for intimate images that empower and conect them to their inner Diva, or business women looking for great head-shots to represent them in their working world.
Every woman deserves gorgeous images of herself, especially at the most significant times of her life. Be that marriage, pregnancy, significant weight loss, divorce, or recovery from illness... there's so much in life to celebrate!
