THIS & THAT
Originally from North Bay, Ontario, you could say I’m a Northern girl with big city dreams. My love for nature stems from spending my summers as every Canadian should - lakeside on a boat soaking up the sun, listening to great tunes, surrounded by the people that I love. I believe in life balance. And that everyone defines balance differently. I love a killer sunset, am a sucker for fashion, look forward to time spent with girlfriends & a good glass of wine. I believe in creating your own happy ending by surrounding yourself with those who bring out the best in you, smashing goals and never losing yourself in anything. I'm a wanderlust soul who craves travel & adventure, but loves family & the coziness of home. To me, the four best doctors are exercise, nutrition, time in nature and laughter. I'm big on energy and following intuition. I’m determined. I'm driven. And I'm a dreamer. I’m the lucky mother of two beautiful children and they have my whole heart.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY
Although my nostalgic appreciation for photographs can be traced back to a house fire that destroyed nearly all images of my childhood, my path in life was completely changed after getting my first DSLR camera. I was completely hooked by the challenges of the craft and it wasn't long before I discovered this was my true passion and calling. I believe that life takes you down roads that lead you towards your destiny - and that when we respond to the calls that ignite our spirit, are brave enough to take risks, learn from failures and continue to work hard - it unfolds beautifully. Recently, I combined my teaching background with this path to offer workshops and mentoring to aspiring photographers. Currently, I'm focusing on offering more educational opportunities, expanding my international wedding & elopement portfolio, and obtaining more recognition in the bridal fashion side of this industry.
MY VISION
My photography style reflects my spirit, beliefs, interests and how I see the world. My work is a creative mix of candid photojournalism & portraiture, an equal balance of contemporary & a timeless, elegant style drawing inspiration from my love of nature, fashion & what I view as beautiful. My goal is to capture the essence of the day for my clients with a focus on quality, beauty, genuine emotion, memorable moments, and of course - LOVE!
THE EXPERIENCE
My approach with clients is professional, service-oriented, and fun! I make myself available to assist my brides with all aspects of the planning process from generating timelines, sourcing locations & recommending my favorite vendors. While shooting, we keep the vibes positive and light, provide lots of direction and always use a splash of humor to keep things real. That nostalgic appreciation for photographs? I take it with me to each wedding knowing I’m capturing your legacy for you & the generations after you.
So come & join me on this adventure & lets create some magic together.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Love & Light,
Maigan
