Pink Hour 🩷✨

Before the mosquitoes filed a formal complaint that we were enjoying ourselves too much.

Yellowknife really knows how to put on a show. These cotton candy skies never get old, and for a few peaceful moments, everything felt perfectly still… until the mosquitoes reminded us we were, in fact, the evening buffet. 😅

Totally worth a few bites for a sunset like this. 💕🌅

There’s something about the midnight sun that slows everything down. No rush, no noise—just still water, golden light, and quiet moments that remind us how beautiful the North can be.

A few weeks ago, I had the absolute joy of photographing my wonderful neighbours, Nuno & Kristian, during their engagement session.

Over the last year, what started as being neighbours has grown into a truly lovely friendship. Getting to know these two has been such a gift, and it was incredibly special to spend an evening capturing this exciting chapter in their lives.

The way they laugh together, support one another, and simply enjoy being in each other’s company made this session feel effortless and genuine. Every photograph tells a little piece of their story, and I feel so honoured that they trusted me to document these memories before they say “I do” this July.

Nuno & Kristian, thank you for allowing me to be part of such a meaningful time in your lives. I can’t wait to celebrate with you both and watch this beautiful next chapter begin. ❤️

Congratulations, you two!

Yellowknife 💛 I’m coming home for a little bit this summer, and I honestly can’t wait.

There’s just something about being up north — the light, the people, the feeling — it always fills my cup in the best way.

I’ll only have a limited number of sessions available while I’m there, so if you’ve been thinking about booking, this is your sign!
Available dates:

June 26–28
July 2–3

I’m so excited to be back and see some familiar (and new!) faces.

Magnolias are slowly starting to bloom 🌺 — my favourite flower! I feel so lucky to see so many on my way to work and around home.

Soft petals, blue skies, and that feeling that everything is coming back to life. Best time of the year. Bonus: running outside and not getting blown or rained away!
