I have had the pleasure of working with Jody from maternity and beyond. She is not only an amazing talent but also the kindest sweetest human I know. There are no words for care she took with my newborn while also making sure I was comfortable and enjoying the process too. She is organized and her vision is beyond anything I could have ever imagined. To be able to capture my pregnancy and then again my newborn in those early days are keepsakes I will forever be grateful for.  

for the care she took!"

Her newborn photography is unparalleled. The adorable heartwarming poses Jody achieves are elevated by her use of luxury props and accessories. At both our newborn sessions, she added special touches that made the experience comfortable and memorable for the whole family. For Maternity, while I was initially hesitant to do professional photos, I am so glad I did! She knows how to make you feel your best even if you're struggling inside. My photos honour and celebrate what my body was privileged and able to do! I don't take it for granted!

Jody was great to work with. She captured my family in the most special way. My ex-husband passed away recently, We had our pictures done before his 49th birthday. The photographs were wonderful. I will forever cherish them. I will definitely work with her again for our family pictures.

I will forever cherish them."

Family portraits with Jody are enjoyable for everyone! She puts all the family at ease and especially knows how to charm the children. Through her detailed & collaborative planning, she helped us achieve a modern look at a location we love. She even selected the optimal time of day for our session in order to capture the most magnificent light. 
Our home is adorned with Jody's fine-art prints. She sources only the most elegant and high quality products. She took time to help us select the perfect locations, sizes, style for our art. We were able to envision exactly what the spaces would look like before we invested.
