Hi, I’m Mae - photographer, mother, animal lover and professional moment-freezer. 

In my free time you will find me walking with my dog Duke, taking my kids along to enjoy the many amazing pools, recreation activities or parks within the region (we are big lovers of the library) or acting like a lump on a log while watching some good TV & probably with a cat on my lap. My dream & my husbands worst nightmare is to mushroom forage one day. 

I've always been creative- I loved art, drawing & music from a young age- I actually started university in the music program before deciding on another path! I have over 20 years of experience behind the camera, I started taking pictures as a kid- since my mother loved photography and always had a camera around; I would take it to take pictures of my friends, pets or nature. But of course, that camera wasn't always available to me so I decided to save up my babysitting money and had my dad drive me over the border (the options were very limited in our small town) when I was 13 to purchase my first 'real' camera.

Nowadays, my favorite sessions are personal- exploring a favorite park, cozying up at home for a lifestyle newborn shoot or finding the perfect props to show clients what makes you different as a business owner, I’ll gently guide you and let you express yourself naturally. 

If you think you're awkward behind the camera or not photogenic- no problem! Nobody is more awkward than me when I'm getting my photo taken, so one could say I'm a total expert in that field 😅. I like to keep my session's relaxed & comfortable- I truly believe everybody is photogenic.  

Why should you hire me as your photographer?

 📸 Experience Matters: I’ve photographed hundreds of families across the Waterloo Region, from maternity to milestone sessions and everything in between. I know how to work with wiggly toddlers, newborn naps, and unpredictable weather - and still get beautiful, heartfelt photos every time. 

 👶 I Understand Kids
As a mom of two, I don’t just tolerate chaos - I expect it. I know how to connect with your children, make them feel safe, and get genuine smiles (even from the shy ones). 

😊 I really care about each client's experience & session- we're not just a photography factory over here. (Yes, I cry when editing sessions sometimes. No, I’m not sorry.)

 🏡 I’m a proud part of the Cambridge and Waterloo Region community, and most of my clients find me through word-of-mouth and referrals- which I take as the highest compliment. 

I always love to chat with prospective clients- if you would like to put a voice to the name and see if we're a good fit for your session, check out my availability to book a consultation here! 

Let’s make something beautiful together.
