FAMILY

"I've always believed in savoring the moments.
In the end, they are the only things we'll have""

Your life is a beautiful adventure filled with stolen kisses, tight bear hugs, loud belly laughs, and simple everyday moments that make you smile. These moments slip away from us so quietly that we don’t ever see them go. These are the moments you hope to never forget, moments you hope to re-visit as they quietly pass. That is why family photos are so special. It is trying to hold on to those little things as our children grow, the laughter, the kisses, those close deep embraces that make you feel at home.

Family sessions are a relaxed and enjoyable experience so I can capture genuine expressions and interactions. I will not be focusing on the “look at the camera say cheese” types of images during our time. I typically capture a few of those for you , but my focus is to capture you and your family as your true self, connecting with your tribe! Your experience is just as important to me as your photos and I offer styling assistance with every session. I scout unique locations that offer beautiful scenery to fit your needs. I am there every step of the way to help plan your family photo shoot! We will work together to plan a meaningful session for you to create new memories with your family, Together you will walk hand in hand, tickle, chase and play games as I capture timeless photos that express your feelings as a mother and the details that make up your journey!

"Because on day you will no longer be able to pick them up.
Because they will no longer want to be tucked in at night.
Because they won't always need you to help them cut their crust off.
Because they will not stay like this forever.
Capture this moment. This year. This version of your family."

F.A.Q.

I’m based in Barrie, but I primarily shoot sessions throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Whether you're looking for a shoot in the vibrant cityscape, a serene park, or a cozy indoor setting, I'm excited to explore the diverse locations the GTA has to offer. I love capturing the unique beauty of each setting and am more than happy to travel within the area to make your session special. So, feel free to reach out, and let’s plan a fantastic shoot that truly reflects your style and personality!

I am currently booking 2025 but I still have a few dates available in 2024. Make sure you inquire early if you are interested because dates can go pretty fast!

The booking process is straightforward and easy! To officially reserve your maternity shoot, all that’s required is a signed contract and a retainer. Once that's in place, we can dive right into planning your session!

Of course! All of my clients receive a comprehensive Family Guide designed to simplify the planning process and ensure everything runs smoothly on your shoot. The guide includes valuable information and a comprehensive questionnaire that helps you organize key details, ensuring that no important aspect is overlooked. I’ve tailored this guide to cover all the essential elements, so you can feel confident in your planning and more relaxed as the day approaches. Additionally, I’m always just an email or phone call away to assist with any logistics, answer questions, or offer advice. Whether you need help coordinating locations and outfits, I’m here to provide guidance every step of the way, so you can focus on enjoying the experience!

Portrait sessions are available Monday to Friday. When it comes to outdoor sessions, I always aim to shoot during the last two hours of daylight—this is when the sun is perfectly positioned in the sky, creating that beautiful, warm, sun-kissed glow that elevates your photos. This "golden hour" lighting adds a soft, natural radiance and avoids the harsh shadows and overly bright, neon-like effects that can occur when shooting in the middle of the day. For in-home or studio sessions, timing is more flexible, as the controlled environment allows us to shoot at any time of day with optimal results. This flexibility ensures we can capture your portraits in the most flattering and natural light, no matter the setting.

Im a mix of intimate connection and goofy play. I absolutely love capturing intimacy and honesty with bursts of laughter and play. I want to create photos for you that are you, so dont expect much static poses and forced smiles. I want our day together to be effortless and fun. Be ready to move around, laugh, dance infront of a sunset and forget that your being photographed. <

Yes absolutely. This is definitely encouraged, I think your photos should live in picture frames on your nightstand and adorn your walls. I recommend printing through a professional lab for best resuts (Pikto is local in Canada as is Posterjack - they are both great quality) I recommend turning off "auto enchance" as your images are already enchanced for printing.

Yes! All of them actually. I offer both colour and black and white, in both print and social media versions for optimal posting quality.

Absolutely, there are your photos. Share away, whether on Social Media, print or giving them to friends and family as gifts.

That usually depends on the type of session as well as any travel involved with locations. I usually recommend setting aside 1.5 - 2 hours for our session. I love to take the time to connect with you during the shoot and there is nothing worse than being in a hurry.

I think all parents worry about this, I know I do whenever I have my family photographed! The great thing about my style of photography is that it takes place outside where they can run around to their heart’s delight! I’ve experienced many different types of children, and I pride myself on getting the best out of each different personality, but if your little one decides to throw a mega wobbly half way through the session, it’s no problem. I’ll just start shooting again once they’ve cheered up!

What can I say about Beata?
There are so many amazing things that putting into words is most certainly a difficult feat. I have chosen her for maternity and for family photography time and time again because her photos are the stories I am unable to put into words. She is able to make pictures into art. Her pictures are like poetry, telling the stories we want to hear again and again. I want that in a photographer. I want to be able to look back at pictures and know they are timeless. Recall the memories, the thoughts, the ideas that floated around when I asked her to tell a story.
I couldn't fathom having someone else take our maternity and family pictures. She simply is the best.

THE GRAM IS MY FAVOURITE. FOLLOW ALONG!
