Toronto Newborn Photographer for Growing Families in Toronto

As a Toronto newborn, maternity & family  photographer and mom of two, I know how quickly these early days pass. I help families capture the little moments that become treasured memories.

For nearly 15 years, I’ve been creating relaxed, natural sessions across Toronto. My goal is a stress-free experience so you can focus on being together while I capture your story. If you’d like to plan a session for your family, I’d love to hear from you.

My Toronto Family photography sessions are playful, easygoing, and centred on genuine interaction. With a little guidance and a lot of laughter, we’ll create images that reflect your personalities and preserve this chapter just as it feels right now.

 My Toronto in-home newborn photography sessions are calm, baby-led, and designed to unfold at your family’s pace so we can capture the connection and tenderness that make this stage so special.

A maternity session is a chance to slow down and celebrate the anticipation of who is about to join your family. My Toronto Maternity Photography sessions are relaxed, natural, and focused on connection.

About Me

My Background & Experience

I’ve had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember; starting as the high school kid who brought it everywhere. In my early 20s, I took a film photography course and was instantly hooked.

For nearly 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting families through some of their most meaningful and joy-filled seasons. It’s truly my dream job.

Over the years, I’ve continued to invest in workshops and education to keep growing; from safety and technical expertise to creating an experience that feels easy, natural, and even a little bit fun. And yes, I come fully prepared with plenty of patience…and the occasional perfectly timed fart joke!

Claire took some absolutely beautiful photos of our new family.  She has such a lovely way with little ones and is so patient, relaxed, gentle and she really took her time with us to take some beautiful pictures. She also has an amazing eye, she really is very creative and can work with whatever space you have available to create intimate, natural photos.
We had a lovely experience with Claire and we absolutely can’t wait to do another photo shoot with Claire as our family grows!!

Claire is the best! We love the photos of our daughter! I was a bit apprehensive about a newborn session since it's such a stressful time, but she made everything relaxed and easy. Highly recommended!

Claire captured some really special moments for our family during a maternity family session in a beautiful park as well as a newborn session at our home. She is incredible to work with, really bringing out the personalities in our children. Plus, she has a great personality which made our photo sessions really fun! For all these reasons I highly recommend Claire!

We've had Claire photograph our twins on a few different occasions. She is always reliable, professional, so so quick, and an unbelievable baby whisperer. Somehow she manages to capture the quirkiness of our family while making us all feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time. We wouldn't hesitate to use Claire again and again.
