Welcome! I'm delighted you're here.

Additionally, I enjoy photographing families outdoors, where children can freely express themselves amidst nature's beauty. This approach allows me to capture genuine moments that reflect your family's unique personality and create lasting memories.

Testimonials

We absolutely loved working with Vanessa! She was wonderful, kind, professional and her gorgeous work truly does speak for itself. My boys are rather shy and were dreading the photo session. Vanessa was someone whom both my boys felt calm and at ease with and both even made comments after how it was fun! We were blown away at the turn around time which was very quick. We couldn't be happier!

Kristin Barton

We had Vanessa do our engagement shoot for us and we are so happy with how they turned out!! She was extremely helpful and patient with us, giving us lots of great tips for how pose and even sent a style guide with ideas of what to wear. She made us feel very comfortable and we were able to just relax and enjoy the whole experience. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone with keen attention to detail and ability to capture amazing candid moments!

Hannah Field

Allison Lemonier

Vanessa is amazing! Had locations that were absolutely stunning. Her vibe was so relaxed which let us relax as well. We were so comfortable with her input, but she took time with us to connect with the kids, and felt almost like a documentation of a special moment vs posed family portraits.  We will be back with Vanessa year after year! Big fans!!

Meghan Zeruk

Vanessa was amazing! She made me and my family feel like an ordinary walk on the park. My daughter had so much fun that she did not even cared it was a photo shoot. Loved her style and the way she conducted the full process.

I can not say enough about how wonderful Vanessa is. She thought of every detail down to a blanket due to the chilly weather. She picked the perfect location to match the feel we wanted for our photos. She is as talented as she is kind!! Book her today, you won’t regret it.
