my story
Get to know me a little better
Hi! I’m Suzanna, a Newborn and Family Qualified Photographer with APNPI (Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International) in Lambton County, Ontario. It’s so nice to meet you, thanks for stopping by!
I'm Mom to two amazing kiddos, and watching them grow has been the most amazing experience. Before my daughter, I thought I had life all figured out. Then I was handed this little pink, wriggling newborn, and I knew in that instant that I was so wrong. My life would never be the same. In the blink of an eye, that tiny babe started smiling, then giggling, then sitting, then she took her first steps and my life ran away. Her firsts were also my firsts, and I had a front row seat to watch her grow into an amazing young lady. Then her brother came along, and all of those firsts suddenly meant something different. His firsts were also my last firsts. I realized just how fast those first five years go by, and just how much they change.
I realized just how fast those first five years go by, and just how much they change.
Every once in a while, I go down the rabbit hole of baby photos. As I Look through each one, I'm amazed by how much I've already forgotten. The ultra cheesy smile with scrunched up nose and only two teeth was my son's go-to when he was two. My daughter's first whale spout when she was almost 2, and finally had three hairs long enough to fit in an elastic.
I realized just how important these photos are to remind me of all of the things I swore I'd never forget.
Seeing my babies faces in all of their stages hanging all around my home makes it just that. A home. And I thank God every day that I get to do something I love, and something that brings so much joy to so many people.
Feel free to have a look around, and if you're ready to preserve those tiny moments before it's too late, I'd love to discuss a portrait session with you.
thanks for stopping by

These are a few of my favorite things ...
familyFamily is my number one. Always and forever. My littles, my love, my parents, my siblings, and nieces and nephews. I come from a big family, and I wouldn't change it for the world. They make me who I am today.
readingYou may not have noticed, but my website is kind of designed like a book. On top of a love for losing myself in a good book, I can also be a bit of a nerd.
the outdoorsI grew up on a farm, and someday I'll be back. For now, I'll make do visiting the horses, bison, chickens and cows at my siblings' farms.
sportsSports were a huge part of my life growing up, specifically hockey. Now, I'm a coach and trainer to my own little players, and learning a whole new sport in baseball. If you need me, check the arena or diamonds first.
I’m supposed to be finishing up books for tax season today, so *naturally* I’m doing anything but that. Which reminded me of the time a few weeks ago that I was
*supposed* to be cleaning the studio and setting up for sessions, but instead I pulled down the wallpaper, took apart half my shelving unit, put up some trim, and made the studio a general disaster instead. Luckily my kiddos thought taking over the wallpaper seemed pretty fun!
Stay tuned to see what I’ve done with the wall since then! #adhdphotographer #studioredo
Last call for models! I have Four Model session spots the morning of April 25th for individual athletes and one buddy group of 3 athletes! Any sport that is not represented in my work online so far. Link to apply in bio!
Models needed! Now that the website is updated 👀 I am looking for some athletes age 9-14 in sports that are currently under-or not at all represented on the website: football, soccer, lacrosse, dance, cheer, rugby, basketball, you name it! I will be hosting a morning of Model Sessions on Saturday, April 25th. Individual Athletes, plus one group of 3-4 athletes. Free photos included! Link to apply in Bio.
It’s not every day that I get to try something new, and it’s even more rare that the result is 🔥🔥🔥 on the first try! More from these sisters coming soon!
Out with the old, in with the new! From winter sports to spring sports. Whether you need to catch up, or can get an early start, between seasons means that I have some weekend spots available! Come solo, or bring a friend, and let’s have some fun! #southernontariosportsphotography #sportsphotographer #sarniasportsphotograper
The sun is trying to make more of an appearance, and the days no longer hurt your face, and that means it`s time to start thinking about family photos!
My Family Calendar is now open with limited availability for booking May-August, with September and October open for dibs with dates selected at a later time. Please note, while dates can be selected, times will be chosen closer to the date to best maximize the sunset.
**NEW this year is a shorter session available. Still the same amazing photos, just with a shorter session, and price tag to match. The full, hour long adventure is also still up for grabs!
In True `Me` Fashion (leaving everything to the last day possible) I have a March Break Sports Day open for THIS Wednesday, March 18th & Friday, March 20th! The best part? Pricing has been adjusted to reflect the last-minute-ness. They will never be this low again.
Any Sport, Any Team, team uniforms or generic ones, your choice! Only FIVE sessions available between the two days.

If you asked me ten years ago, this is a post that I absolutely, adamantly, would never ever write. Full stop. But seasons change, forks in the roads come, and here I am, ending the year 2025 and my career as a newborn photographer in one fell swoop. I am *not* putting my camera down altogether, just making official what has been for at least the past year: come the strike of midnight, my newborn journey est fini. Thank you to everyone who trusted me with their tiny newborns. I appreciate you more than you will ever know. And to end, I leave you with a tiny amount of behind the scenes that I took and never posted, because I suck at social media. That is a story I just can’t seem to finish.
Me: ‘want a sneak peek?!’ Also me: ‘here’s your entire gallery instead’. 🤦♀️ with this GORGEOUS weather we’ve been having, it’s not too late to book a family session! #familyphotographer
