When Shanna, a talented and kind psychotherapist in Barrie, reached out for a personal branding mini session, she admitted she wasn’t a big fan of having her photo taken. But, as with many of my clients, my goal is to make the experience relaxed, natural, and—most importantly—reflective of who they are. Shanna’s session was all […]
Recently, I had the opportunity to work with Carole, a real estate agent from Georgian Bay, to help update her personal branding. Carole wanted her images to reflect her classy, elevated, and professional brand that she’s worked hard at building up. Carole’s style and professionalism shone through in every shot. I focused on capturing her confidence […]

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Jess & Griffin over the last four years, capturing their journey from engagement to now, their beautiful wedding day at Three Feathers Terrace. This stunning venue, nestled in nature, was the perfect backdrop for their love story, even on a very hot and humid day. Thankfully, the weather held […]
Together with their friends and family, Lacey and Cameron tied the knot at the gorgeous Northbrook Farm in Orillia (which forever holds a special place in my heart, as it was our wedding venue too). Lacey and Cameron flew in from beautiful, British Columbia, to have their wedding back in Simcoe County so that all […]
Ali and Jacob’s Italian wedding in the GTA was truly special, and naturally my husband and second-shooter, Terry, connected with Jacob’s family right off the bat. It was clear that Ali & Jacob value family deeply, and I was touched to see how they chose to honour their grandparents and family members throughout the day. […]
Mel & Jon were married at their family’s cottage in Muskoka in 2021, but not even the torrential downfall of rain could rain out their celebration. They tied the knot with a very initiate group of family and friends in their cottage’s living room. Fast forward to 2022 and they opted to celebrate BIG with […]
Krystina & Ryan had a traditional ceremony at a local church in Barrie, and partied with all their family and friends at the gorgeous Ivy Ridge Estate in Ivy, Ontario. A middle of June wedding with the kind of weather every bride dreams about: a mid-twenty degree temperature, a cool breeze, and no bugs during […]
This gorgeous autumn wedding at the Barrie Country Club was one of our favourite days of 2022. Jenn & Nick’s choice of venue was the perfect location for their mid-September wedding. They chose such a beautiful colour palette that really popped against the Barrie Country Club’s lush gardens and rolling hills, which was giving off […]
Jamie + Andrew These two were oozing with so much love and joy I felt like I was in a movie with two teenagers who were absolutely enamoured with each other. In between the locked eyes of love were silly faces and great barrel loads laughter. I’m a cryer, every wedding I have tears of […]
Newborn sessions are always a treat to capture…I mean look at those big blue eyes. There’s so much joy and excitement in having photos with the newtest addition to the family, and let me tell you, her big brother was very excited to tell me he has a baby sister. One of the biggest smiles […]
“I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day” More then a cute lyric, or a phrase, these two really did have sunshine on a miserably, cloudy, and rainy day. The month of May this year has been uncharacteristically cold, wet, and miserable. Yet, these two believed, prayed, and hoped that the good Lord would give them […]
This is the year of babies, I know 30 people that are having children this year. It’s always exciting when someone announces they’re having a little baby, but I’ve been humbled and awed by how many ‘miracle’ babies are being born. I’ve watched close friends, distance friends, facebook friends, and anything in between struggle with […]

Each wedding with its own unique style, story, and special moments. One of my personal favourites is the first glimpse that a groom has of his beautiful bride, […]
AHHHHHH. They’re getting married !! When Melody had inquired about booking a couple’s photo session, I was secretly hoping Daniel would be popping THE question, thus turning a couple’s session, into a proposal / engagement session. Weeks went by, and then, Daniel messaged me privately thus confirming my suspicions, and the proposal scheming began. Needless […]

Inspiration from Magna
Magna was the absolute best photographer I could have asked for on my wedding day! From the moment she arrived, she was my hype girl—making me laugh, helping me feel beautiful, and bringing so much fun energy to the day. She was cool, calm, and collected, yet somehow kept everything moving smoothly and stress-free.
Despite the rain, Magna didn't miss a beat! She embraced the weather and managed to capture some absolutely breathtaking photos. Her organization during the planning process made everything easy, and the photos she’s already shared with us are nothing short of exceptional. I can’t wait to see the final album!
If you want stunning photos and a photographer who is professional, talented, and an absolute joy to be around, Magna is the one!

Private Wedding in Caledon
If I could give Magna 6 stars I would! When I began planning my wedding I was told to pick my photographer wisely, because you truly spend the entire day with them. I feel as though we made the BEST choice choosing Magna and her husband to capture our day. Magna is everything you want in a photographer: personable, comforting, approachable, efficient, professional. I could honestly go on and on. Magna has this warm personality about her, that makes you feel as though you've known her forever. It is her warmth, that makes you feel so comfortable and natural that you forget that you're even posing. Resulting in BEAUTIFUL, natural, candid photos, every bride hopes for.
Magna is everything you want in a photographer!

Where to even begin!
Magna was the most incredible photographer we could have asked for. Our Engagement and Wedding photos are an absolute dream! She has sent us well over 100 photos already and we got married less than 1 month ago (talk about service)! Her and Terry are an excellent team. They made my husband and I as well as all our friends and family feel comfortable and natural in our photos. They absolutely crushed the list (which was quite extensive) of photos we requested to have without batting an eye. She made sure we weren't rushed while still working quickly and efficiently.
If I could give them 10 stars I would. I 100% recommend Magna for any sort of photography you may need done. Will definitely be using her for photos in the future!
