Making Cottage Memories – Summer Sessions in Muskoka, Parry Sound & Seguin

There’s nothing quite like summer at the cottage. Morning swims, sandy toes, bonfires under the stars, sticky s’mores fingers and slow, sleepy afternoons. These are the memories that stay with us – what if you could hold onto them just a little longer?

This summer, I’m offering a very limited number of Cottage Photography Sessions across Muskoka, Parry Sound, and Seguin. These aren’t stiff or overly posed sessions. They’re about capturing real moments: your wild-haired kiddos in floaties, quiet dockside snuggles, barefoot walks down the path. Whether you’re growing a baby bump, celebrating your relationship, soaking in a weekend with your best friends, or gathering for that once-a-year extended family reunion, these sessions are designed with intention and heart.

These sessions lean into a documentary – style approach – I’m not here to make you pose on the dock like you’re in a magazine (unless that’s your thing!). Instead, I’ll capture the real stuff: you laughing with your people over morning coffee, the joy of a spontaneous lake jump, and the quiet moments in between. It’s about bottling up that carefree, no – makeup – needed kind of summer energy.

As a former travel writer and now a full – time photographer, I live for the details that make each place and connection unique. These sessions are relaxed, real, and rooted in the nostalgia of cottage life.

Summer goes by fast – but these photos will bring it back every time.

Let’s make some magic while the lake sparkles and the loons sing.
