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.

Fish Flies at Winnipeg Beach

The fish flies are a yearly occurrence at Winnipeg Beach. I remember the season all too well from when I was a kid. Most people aren't fond of them. They cover the entire town. The swarm of them is so big that you can see them on a weather radar. Other than blanket the town with millions of fish flies that smell pretty horrid, they don't do anything. They are literally just a feast for nature. They hatch, and then die within 48 hours. Birds that otherwise aren't seen in Winnipeg Beach come for the week long event and fill their bellies before flying off. This year seemed way heavier on the bugs than most other years. Check out some news articles like CBC or Huffington Post.

When I was a kid I thought of them more as fairies or dragon flies rather than some gross stinky bug...which they are. I loved them. Still do! I love how they are so obvious about how ecosystems operate. So I was rather excited that we were at our cabin during peak fish fly season. My girls loved them! And our pal Josh loved them as well! Josh is the son of my oldest friend that I met when I was 5 years old here in Winnipeg Beach...(and coincidentally Josh and Adelaide share a birthday!) So having our kids play together in the very place we shared our childhood is pretty special. Here is a collection of some pictures I took of our time together with the fish flies!
