Ontario Documentary Photographer

Connection doesn’t need to be created, only witnessed 

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.

As an Ontario documentary photographer, my greatest gift to you is the gift of reconnection. Having experienced the stages of life you are now navigating, I’m here to document these memories for you in a way that feels natural and meaningful.
With me, there is no need to perform or be something you are not – this life you have created is beautiful and deserves to be remembered - just as it was.

I don't walk into your session with a vision of how the session will look. I don't preplan poses, or directions. I sit back and observe and follow your lead. I allow you and your family's uniqueness be the guide for what will be documented. 

what does client led / co creating mean? 

Storytelling style of photography is exactly what it sounds like. Think of a movie and how a director has a vision for the storyline he is creating. A photographer may ask you about your life and create a loose storyline you will follow during a session, as if you are playing the role of yourself in this production. 

Documentary photography is different in how the photographer will attend a session and observe the world around them and document it just as it is, with little to no interference in the flow. Think more of a documentary film that follows the life of someone. There is raw footage of REAL moments, emotions and life. 

Storytelling tends to be a highlight reel of curated moments vs a documentary approach encompasses ALL emotions and ALL moments. Even the ones we perceive as negative or mundane. 

what is the difference between documentary and storytelling styles of photography? 

When you google the definition of documentary photography these are a few things that comes up,  

- any photos that attempt to record the world as it is.
- art which captures a real moment
- the creation of accurate images

but what documentary photography means to me is - 
photos that tell an uncurated account of your REAL life.

We can’t recommend Alli enough for her incredible documentary-style photography! From our wedding to our maternity and newborn shoots, she has consistently exceeded our expectations. As two shy people, we were initially nervous about being photographed, but Alli’s warm personality made us feel completely at ease. She captured our genuine moments beautifully, from the joy of our wedding day to the tender intimacy of our maternity and newborn sessions. Her ability to tell our story through stunning, candid images is remarkable. If you want a photographer who makes you feel comfortable and captures life’s most precious moments, Alli is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for the memories she has created for us!
