Inspired by nostalgia, obsessed with dogs, and I help you navigate your wedding day.
the girl behind the camera
I’m based in Toronto’s East End and feel most at home by the beach.
My rescue pup Moira is my sidekick—she’s got short legs and an independent soul.
I’ve always felt drawn to senior dogs—our energies just get each other.
Rescue dogs have my heart and I donate my time to take foster photos.
I grew up in small-town Ontario where kindness was just how things were done.
Mornings start slow with a walk and some quiet time—me and Moira, always.

I strive to be more offline these days. I find it overwhelming to share absolutely everything about my life.
A deeper look...
My love for dogs began as a dog walker and grew through fostering, where I saw firsthand the impact we have on their lives.
I prefer to explore and photograph within my own backyard and country—reserving far-off travels for time with loved ones.
Being a bride was fun, but I'm glad that day is behind me. It was the most magical + surreal experience of my life.
