Niagara Escarpment Engagement Session 

I live underneath a giant cliff, which makes it pretty easy to adventure, hike, climb, ooh and ahh and arrange Niagara Escarpment Engagement sessions. Normally the oohing and ahhing happens when no one is around to take photos of, which can be incredibly frustrating! Luckily, Sharon & Peter were up for a drive to my neck of the woods for an adventure in the Pottawatomi Conservation Area. We hiked, laughed, told stories and explored the conservation area. These two cuddled up in a small boulder field and tip toed on rocks at the top of the cliff.

Sharon & Peter are compassionate, loving and affectionate and massive baseball fans. Luckily they are also super playful and joke about the fact that they cheer for different teams. Sharon, being from LA, is a Dodgers fan, and Peter, being a Toronto native, obviously loves the Jays. (Not that I'm playing favourites, but I'm with Peter here) Sharon just finished moving from LA to Toronto to start her new life with Peter once they're married. Maybe that means the Jays have a chance at winning her heart? They definitely stole mine with stories of how they met, how they worked through a long distance relationship, humouring me by laughing at my horrible dad jokes, trusting my crazy ideas and learning Peter is working on teaching his students what good hip hop is. We certainly bonded over the fact that I took a History of Hip Hop course in University. Thank you, OCADU. I'm pretty sure we are hip hop buddies for life.

Sharon & Peter are getting married this Saturday in a gorgeous church in Toronto surrounded by an intimate group of family and friends. Joel & I couldn't be more thrilled to be joining them as part of their small intimate group.

I'm Frances-- a photographer with a fine art background and a serious soft spot for love, wide open spaces, wandering barefoot and giving epic hugs. I'm drawn to connections, anything outdoors, raw emotion, natural light and the human experience. I am a big believer in bear hugs, loving big, and making things by hand. I think I look ridiculous when I laugh, but it never stops me from doing so. 

Photography for me is all about connection and creating a window into your lives for future generations to peer into. Every one and every relationship is unique. Your images should be too. Annie Leibovitz said it best "When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them." That is so true for me. I don't just want to photograph you, I want to know you.
