Day at the Cottage Sessions

Family cottage time is a cherished tradition for many. It's a time to reconnect with loved ones and create memories that will last a lifetime. Being at the cottage gives you that nostalgic feeling like nothing else. If you have a family cottage you know the memories that are locked there forever.

Hiring a photographer to document these moments enhances the experience even further. A professional photographer can capture the laughter, the joy, and the love shared between family members in an authentic beautiful artistic way. These photographs become treasured family heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation.

Much like Day in the Life sessions, which I offer year round, this summer I will be in Manitoba where I have limited amount of Day at the Cottage sessions available throughout August. These magical documentary style sessions are pressure free because you just have to live your day with your family while I hangout in the background documenting all the sweet moments that make the cottage life so great! Pancake breakfast, exploring nature, playing at the beach, boat rides, tubing, swimming, berry picking, kayaking, ice cream, board games, bonfires, s’mores, sparklers, and most of all, moments with your loved ones!

Scroll down to see a whooooole bunch of cottage life photos and contact me if you would like more information on these incredible sessions.

The Clover Field

If you read both parts of the Isolation series, you may have guessed how we spend this past summer. Well I will tell you…

We had the most glorious summer in the most glorious place after a not-so-glorious year living in a high rise in Toronto with constant on again off again lockdowns. We essentially repeated what we did last summer and drove 25 hours to the Interlake. Only this year we had a more permanent living situation. We lived in a sweet cottage on about 2 acres of land with the sweetest vintage trailer that I used as an office and sometimes a guesthouse! We swam in the lake almost every day and rode horses every week and ate ice cream from our favourite ice cream shop as much as we could! I’d wake up every day and pinch myself just to make sure it was all real. The place belongs to Grandpa James. It was built by his grandfather. His mother Margaret grew up in the house. The house was sitting unused for maaaany many years so he offered this space to us since it’s exactly what we were looking for. It just needed a little TLC. We had so much fun bringing life back to the old place. I felt like we went back in time with the vintage decor. We had arborite tables, original hardwoods, and a retro fridge (that required manual defrosting), and everything in the place was from the 70’s or earlier. Needless to say, I was in heaven. Living in my “Good Place” home. (Have you seen The Good Place?) Anyway, our time there was rather sentimental actually. On so many levels. Which I will absolutely get in to on another day. But today, I wanna talk about The Clover Field.

The Clover Field is what I named the outdoor photography studio that I was able to create on this land. Everything about this space was inspiring. The light was magnificent! The land itself was so pretty and has a sweet nostalgic feeling. A perfect spot for any kind of session. This space provided me with the inspiration to create again after a rather challenging year. Here, scroll down to see some images I took at this beautiful place.

I am very much looking forward to next summer already so I can meet even more people down at The Clover Field. Just like this year, I will take a very limited number of sessions. So contact me if you are interested in booking a session in Manitoba next summer. And consider signing up for my newsletter so you won't only be the first to know of any discounts, mini sessions and pop up events, but you'll also get first dibs at booking them. And guess what?! The timing is perfect because the most popular newsletter of the year will be going out this weekend!
