a little bit about me.....

Hi all, I thought I’d take a little time and tell you a little about me.

I was born in London Ontario but now live in Ingersoll. My original career aspiration was to be a nurse. I got my RN but quickly realized it wasn’t my passion. I was lucky enough to have a cool art teacher in highschool that introduced me to film and cameras and dark rooms oh my! I was hooked!! I started out taking a few pics here and there for friends. Later they asked me to shoot their weddings and family photos for them. I was lucky enough to train under Ewan Phelan of The Last Forty Percent Photography. I assisted, then was an associate with them for 3 years!

The Bridal Lounge was born 10 years ago ( can’t even believe it) I absolutely LOVE what I do, I never tire of all the stuff I get to do. The look on a brides face when I walk in to her room for the first time on her wedding day. The newborns that have literally been alive for hours and watching them wiggle out of their swaddle. Getting the shy teenage boy to laugh and engage during a family shoot. Watching a boss babe come alive during a branding shoot, seeing her gain confidence in front of my eyes!! All caught, all captured in time.

I love to watch star wars movies with my family, bake, hockey, walk and explore new places. One of my favourite things to do is scout new locations for photo sessions. If I could, I would own and ride ATVs, snowmobiles or seadoo’s 24/7! Im a bit of a tomboy but love to dress up when the time is right. I love to sing but really can’t, you take the lead, I’ve got the harmony!

Have been married almost 19 years and we hit the jackpot with 2 amazing daughters and 2 sweet fur boys.

Thanks for taking the time to check out what I do and who I am. Im always learning and growing and LOVE to meet new people and help guide them through whatever it is they need . Wedding, branding, newborn, belly and family photography is my wheelhouse and I absolutely love what I do. Stay safe and healthy xo
