*Sale Alert* Can you believe that grad and prom celebrations are only a few weeks away? I still remember the excitement of my grad month, so I think that's why I absolutely love capturing those moments for you guys. If you're looking for some last minute grad photos or if you'd like to document your prom night, I'm offering the Class of 2021 a 50% discount on my remaining June bookings. Send me a DM to book your space before they're gone and come out and have some fun with me!

Have you had extended family photos done? If not, you definitely should! These are some of my favourite sessions to shoot. The interactions between the grandparents + the grandkids, the cousins, the siblings - it's amazing! These sessions are the perfect way to create those family heirlooms that will be passed down for generations. Tell me what your perfect family session would look like. Who does it include and where does it take place? If you had no limitations, what would you plan?

Meera had the most beautiful, intricate hand-stitched outfit for her 3rd birthday photos. Isn't she the sweetest?

Are you on Instagram? If so, I'd love to connect with you! I'm having a Mother's Day giveaway over there right now, so it's a great time to head on over and check out my page. You can find me at @meganmckinleyphoto. Come join the fun!

Okay, who else is finding life a bit discouraging right now? I'm not gonna lie - I am. We are all missing what normal life used to be and being stuck in this red zone seems to be taking an extra toll on us all. My girls are especially missing being able to see their friends and family. The COVID burnout is real, my friends! So today let's try to share something that makes us happy! For me it's this photo of my girls and my nephews with my 86-year-old Grammy who we can't wait to visit again as soon as we are allowed. The relationship that they have with her is incredibly special. What's one thing that makes you happy? Leave a comment (bonus point for a photo) below so we can all share with you.

My friend Bev from SMART Human Resource Solutions sent me an article the other day that showcased some of the less photogenic (and funnier!) parts of wedding day photography. She inspired me to share a few of my own behind the scenes images, so here is the first. This one goes out to all the veil throwers out there. It isn't a fancy job, but someone has to do it!

I guess it's time I finally take advantage of this downtime! I'm working on catching up on some blogging and hopefully upping my social media game (am I the only one who is clueless about Insta? I think I need a support group!). So to start it off, here's a new blog post featuring Tanner and Michael's beautiful 2019 wedding at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre. Enjoy!

I always like to have a fun silhouette to round out the wedding day.

A little info about my business in the RED phase. Under provincial regulations, I am still able to offer sessions at this time. With that said, I will be limiting the sessions to outdoor only (in single family bubbles). Out of an abundance of caution, I will not be offering studio sessions in the red phase. So if you'd like to get out and capture a few moments in the beautiful snowy weather, reach out! Everything else will be rescheduled when we are back in the orange phase. Thanks to everyone for your understanding and stay safe!

A little more snowy goodness for these two <3
