The last trimester: that time when the last few weeks are counting down, and soon you’re going from two to three. There’s a certain excitement, anticipation and wonder that comes with this time. It’s such a joy to capture!
With Kim and Nic, there’s no hiding their absolute love for each other. They are so connected to each other and it’s so beautiful to see their love growing into a new chapter in their life. Their story is building and being there to preserve the feelings and memories for them is such a delight.
We met up at The Leaf at Assiniboine Park, and it is my absolute favourite location to visit in Winnipeg in the middle of the winter! Not only for the warmth, the live plants, and all the lush greenery, but also for the gorgeous backdrops for photo shoots.
We started off in the Tropical Biome then we went to the Mediterranean Biome and Babs Asper Display House. I was so happy to see the sunlight poke through the overcast skies to get that warm, humid glowing light that only a tropical setting can give you. My lenses were fogging up – and for a few shots, I intentionally left the fog on my lens for that extra “mood”. Why not? 🙂
The team at DBT Winnipeg, a mental health collective, needed updated photos for their website so I came in for an afternoon to do their headshots and interior office photography.

I was instantly greeted by some of the kindest and warmest people and walked into a beautiful space in the heart of Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District. Beautifully designed and decorated, their spaces were as warm and inviting as their clinicians.
It was a joy to take their photos and provide high-quality photos for them to update their website.
In late fall, natural window light can be tricky to work with so I came in with three off-camera lights to help light the photos. Here are a few highlights from the session including some behind the scenes photos.

Every September I host mini family sessions in Winnipeg and the spots sell out so quickly! Families with little kids or older teenagers love these types of sessions because it’s not too long, and it keeps everyone engaged (and not bored!) for just the right amount of time.
This year I did the mini sessions at Kings Park on a Saturday afternoon and into the early evening, and it was absolutely beautiful! Fifteen minutes may seem like a short amount of time, but it’s enough to capture posed pictures and candid shots. I also love taking close up portraits of each kid (and headshots for the adults, if they want one).
Here’s a preview of some of the photos that we took this year. I still have a few more mini session and half-session spots left for October 2024. Just contact me to see my available dates!
Thinking of getting family photos done after missing out on the peak of the fall season? Last year we had a warm fall which meant we still had gorgeous, warm evenings well into mid-October. This family booked their photo shoot on October 18th – quite late in the season – but we lucked out on nice weather (it was close to 20 degrees celsius!) and some of the leaves were still hanging on in the trees! We chose Henteleff Park in South St. Vital as our location and it was an absolute gorgeous backdrop for their family portraits.
If you’re wondering if you missed out on nice September family photos – don’t discount October! Even though I don’t recommend putting off booking your photo session late in the season, mid-October could still surprise you with some warm, sunny days with colours still in the trees.
If you’d like more information on booking your family session, contact me here.
Whenever taking corporate headshots, getting a mix of studio portraits and environmental headshots is a great way to add a dynamic and captivating look to your final collection of images. When this group approached me about doing their headshots this summer, we planned the session to include a few in-office headshots with studio lights and a solid white backdrop, but also going outside in the Exchange District to capture more of an urban and textured look to their group shots. Here are the results:
