STUDIO SESSION by Joanna Crichton

I have been documenting Sarah’s Family for a few years and every time I do I fall a little more in love with her kids. It is pure chaos and adore every minute of it. There is always silliness, laughing, and so much warmth between them. I feel so lucky to be witnessing it all.

MATERNITY COUPLE by Joanna Crichton

I have been fortunate enough to document Sarah and David’s sweet moments in life on numerous occasions. This one being extra special as they waited for their little boy to arrive and grow their family. Together, these two have a harmonizing energy. Sarah exudes a beautiful calming spirit and David has an energetic personality. It is always a treat to have these two in front of my lens.

MOTHERHOOD SESSION {DANI + BEAU} by Joanna Crichton

I am so lucky to have such incredible people supporting me session after session. Dani is one of these people. I’ve had the pleasure of documenting her laid-back boho wedding in the forest, a dare to bare session in the dead of winter by the lake, Beau’s newborn photos, and now watching her become an amazing mama to her little man at 4 months old. These sessions are more then just clicking away for me. These are moments frozen in time for you to look back on for the rest of your lives.

Now more then ever my desire to capture connection is thriving. Motherhood in particular has taken a hold of me in the deepest sense of being. This all consuming love with highs and lows has revealed parts of me that I need to work on and parts of me that are flourishing. These moments are fleeting with our littles and I think it’s important to remind ourselves of this and breath deeply through this ride of motherhood. I can’t wait to get back at it, and document you and your loves, but in the meantime, hold them tight.

NAIA {motherhood session} by Joanna Crichton

Being able to capture these special moments in life for my friend, Danielle and her sweet girl Naia is something close to my heart. Capturing motherhood is something that has been a strong theme in my work for the past few years, as I have been in the thick of it myself.  As mothers, we are typically the one behind the camera, so I believe it is so important for us to be captured with our little ones in a true, authentic, and real way.  The bond we share with our children is like no other and my goal is try and capture the purity and rawness of motherhood in all it's beautiful chaos.  Truthfully, I wasn't sure how most of the images were going to turn out as Lucy was with me and I was entertaining her on sidelines or holding her for every shot, but I am thankful for the outcome.  Danielle, thank you, as always, for trusting me to make with these precious memories for you both. You are beautiful xx.

SCARLET by Joanna Crichton

When fellow photographer, Scarlet O'Neill, asked me to document her growing baby bump, I couldn't be more honoured.  I had never met Scarlet before, but was inspired by her work, so it would be an understatement to say that I was thrilled to be able to create these memories for her.  Upon entering her home, she welcomed me with such warmth, I felt an immediate comfort being in her presence.  She is just as kind, down to earth, and hardworking as she comes across.  I have mad respect for this woman. She is truly embracing her sweet baby belly, and I know she is going to rock motherhood. Thanks for making magic with me Scarlet! xo
