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!

Thanks for stopping by!

Alex is one of my best friends. He’s a friend for life kinda friend. In fact, I’ve been friends with this guy for more than two thirds of my life. Ever since we were 12 years old. We have accumulated so many memories that we could write a series of books. Now I am not sure what book we’re on or what chapter we’re at, but my goodness am I ever so excited to start this next one!! Him and his lady are having a BABY!!!
When Alex and Missy started dating I remember saying to my husband the night after meeting Missy that they would totally one day get married. They seemed so "meant-to-be”, immediately. Fast forward a couple years and these two had one of the most beautiful weddings along the French River. A coupla moves and a coupla cats later, they are now adding a sweet little squishy baby!!!!!! And this special little baby is the first grandbaby on both sides. Eeeeek!
So, naturally, we met up at the park during sunset for a maternity session and took advantage of the beautiful sunbeams as the sun set below the horizon. It was a week away from the first day of autumn. The foliage and wild flowers were so full and luscious. Their colours were still so vibrant. Now add their vibrant personalities, and we created magic. Seriously, such a fun session! So many incredible shots. Like, there’s no way you won’t smile when you look through these. They are soooooo cute and so meant to be.
