You're in the thick of it
You'll hang out with your friends when you have more time. You are waiting to focus on your health when you have more energy or have the time. You're waiting to get the photoshoot when you feel more confident or have more time.
Survival mode.

In a time in our life when we are go-go, taking the time for a session, where you can show up, slow down and create photos that feel you, could be the breath of fresh air you need.
It's a special thing to see your kids personality shine when they are in their comfort zone. You can see it in that smile that you only get to see when they are doing something they love.
But I know the thought of planning one more thing could send you into overwhelm and at the end of the day a photo session won't be your top priority.
But here's the thing, let's make them less of a big deal, shall we? Let's capture more moments that aren't perfectly orchestrated, moments that won't make you look at them and be like "woah was I ever stressed leading up to that shoot".
Let's plan a shoot where we show up, you do your thing and I'll capture your vibe, with gentle and easy going instruction. I want to see the activity that your family lives for in the winter months.
I live in a hockey community, I grew up in the hockey world, and currently raising three hockey players, so being able to capture your magic in this way feels right in my comfort zone. Tell me how your kids teams are doing, what they have improved on this year and what their goals are. I want to hear it all. Let's hang out and I'll happen to bring my camera along for the ride.
Photo sessions can be what you make them. If you want a session that feels relaxed, let's do just that that. Message me about what your family is up to and let me take care of you. Let me help you make their childhood be full of visual pieces they can treasure.

Our family rink session was my favourite photo session! I originally asked for a couple photos of our kids in their jerseys but Michaela suggested a rink session and I'm so glad we upgraded. We had the best time! There was not stress, just fun. We were all relaxed and enjoyed our time at the rink. Michaela has a way of bringing out the best in all of us. Every time I look at our pictures I smile, I love every single one of them.

We met Michaela for an evening at the rink, our favourite place to be. It was a regular night for us...nothing out of the ordinary. But when we got our pictures back, I was completely blown away. She captured the night more beautifully than I could have ever imagined, turning fleeting, seemingly unremarkable moments into stunning candid memories. Little moments that didn't seem special at the time but somehow, were secured into treasured memories that we will one day reflect on. Thank you, Michaela, for helping us slow down and truly appreciate the little moments, the ones that we didn't even realize meant so much to us.
- DaSilva Family
Michaela makes photo shoots comfortable and effortless. She has an eye for catching special moments in a fun and relaxing environment. Shay provides great options for photo shoot locations and is open to travel to any special location you may want. We have taken family photos with Shay for years and have always loved our photo galleries.
-Dubasov Family
Rink sessions or lifestyle sessions are something that will be the visual story of your kids childhood. What I hope for them is that they will fill photo albums and be conversation starters. Is there anything better than reminiscing about the good ol' days?
What will show your family best? Heading to the rink is just one of many activities we get to experience in our long winters, but what does your family connect with most?
