ONTARIO DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER
Intentional imagery of something that once was, of something that lives on within us, of something that always will be, and yet never be the same
packages
I became an Ontario documentary photographer the moment I had children. As they continued to change everyday, I so wished I could slow things down – for their hands to be that small for just a little longer. The way photographs are able to pause time, allowing you to revisit a memory from the past and all that comes with it, is why I do what I do – it’s why most photographers do what they do. Whether it’s the young love you have for your partner while it’s just the two of you, or it’s the experiences you’re creating for your children, life’s about finding beauty in the present, because the present will soon be the past and these moments will soon become distant memories.

Why long form?
It's slow living in a fast paced world.
The gift of time - no rushing, no worrying about kids playing shy, or having a moment or the need for a break - or maybe you want breakfast and bedtime documented - or it's a day at the beach - whatever it is - there is time.
Discounted intro price for a limited time only
A long form session is a session that takes place over an extended period of time. Typically documented in your home, or maybe it's on a beach, or while your family is camping.
The benefit of a long form session is there is time for anything and everything you want to document, to be documented.
It is slow paced and truly is a documentary of your life told through still photographs.
There is space for all aspects of life to unfold. There is no rush to create a highlight reel of images. It is just life, as it naturally occurs.
What is a long form session?
Anything you want to! I do not have a specific approach to family sessions or a list of things that you should be doing.
I encourage your family to choose activities that you usually do together and invites every member to be present with one another.
You can also plan to have me there to document an activity you really cherish, maybe that's putting up your Christmas tree or at an extended family hang out..
The goal is to document your family naturally as you usually are together. Not just in your highlight reel moments. Yes there will be beautiful moments documented but there will also be mundane moments and raw emotions. There is no need to shy away from having all aspects of your life created in to photographs for you to later look back on and remember how REAL life was.
what should my family be doing during a session with a documentary approach?
With a documentary approach, time is my friend.
The more time we have together, the more relaxed everyone gets and this translates into more accurate images of you and your family members' unique personalities.
But sometimes certain family members might be ready to tap out after only 1 or 1.5 hours of our potential 2 hours together.
The 2 hours is a max. If all the time isn't utilized, it does not change the price.
what if my session is only 1 hour but i paid for 2 hours?
