Real over perfect

Photography should feel like the life you were actually living.

I make room for the real expressions, small gestures, and people that matter. You get enough direction to feel comfortable—and enough space for the photographs to stay yours.

Fernwood story session

The two of you, without the performance.

We walk, talk, and make room for the quiet pieces in between. It works for anniversaries, engagements, just-because photographs, or simply marking this part of your life together.

Private portrait stories

Confident, intimate, entirely yours.

Some people call it boudoir. I think of it as personal portraiture: a quiet, adult-only session shaped around what you want to reveal—and what you do not. Solo and couples sessions are welcome, and we plan the setting privately after your inquiry.

Your people. Your day. The parts you felt.

I photograph a limited number of weddings for couples who care more about being present than producing a performance. The result is a complete, human record of the day—not a checklist of trends.

Kind words

The part clients remember.

“We were nervous going in. Ten minutes with Lee and we completely forgot the camera was there. The photos look exactly like us.”

S & M

Couples session

“No timeline, no stress. Lee just moved with the day and caught everything—the quiet moments and the chaos.”

J & R

Intimate wedding

“I use those brand photos everywhere now—website, socials, everything. People actually recognize me from them.”

Questions

Before you inquire.

Where do sessions happen?

Couples and brand stories can take place at Fernwood Hills near Komoka, Ontario, using the forest, farmhouse exterior, water, cabins, or natural-light studio. Private portrait settings are planned privately after inquiry. Lee also travels across Southern Ontario when another location matters to the story.

What if we feel awkward in photographs?

That is normal and expected. Lee gives enough direction to help you settle in, then photographs what happens between the posed moments. You do not need any experience in front of a camera.

How do we reserve a date?

After Lee confirms availability, you receive a short agreement and retainer link. Couples sessions use a $100 retainer, private portraits and brand stories use a $150 retainer, and weddings use a 30% retainer.

Are private portrait photographs shared online?

Not unless you give separate written permission after seeing the finished photographs. Privacy is the default, and sharing permission is never required to book the launch rate.

Do you photograph full wedding days?

Yes, selectively. Four-hour intimate wedding coverage begins at $1,800 plus HST. Larger celebrations are quoted personally based on coverage and travel.

Your photographs

Does this sound like you?

Send the date and the rough idea. I’ll tell you honestly if I’m the right fit.
