Ontario wedding & Family Photographer
Welcome, this isn’t just photography. It’s preservation. Of the soft, sacred, blink and you’ll miss it kind of moments, the ones that make life feel like yours. At Among the Wildflowers Photography, I’m here to capture love in its wildest, most honest form. From barefoot brides to new mamas in their quietest becoming, this space is for the untamed, the nostalgic, and the souls who want to feel their photos, not just frame them. If you’re craving something that feels grounded, gentle, and deeply you, you’re in the right place.
Working with me isn’t about showing up for a few nice pictures. It’s about being seen. Whether we’re wandering through a wildflower field or wrapped in blankets in my natural light studio, I’ll create space for you to simply be. No pressure, no stiff posing, just connection. You’ll leave your session feeling rooted in your story. And when your gallery arrives, you won’t just see what it looked like, you’ll remember what it felt like.

Memorable moments forever preserved
An Ontario wedding & family photographer with a documentary style and deep love for connection.
A memory keeper, light chaser, and storyteller for the wild-hearted. I believe the most beautiful moments are rarely posed—they live in windblown hair, in-between glances, and soft giggles no one else noticed. Photography found me when I realized how quickly life changes and how little we often get to hold onto. Now, I help lovers and mothers freeze time in the most tender, timeless way. Whether I’m documenting your vows beneath the open sky or your baby’s first sleepy stretch in my cozy studio, my goal is always the same: to help you remember your life exactly as it felt.

"My favorite photos of our family have all been taken by Mel — she’s been there for every chapter of our story."
“Mel has captured so many beautiful memories for my wife and I over the years — our wedding day, a summer evening in the sunflowers, our baby girl’s first Christmas, and a serene mother-daughter session. She always made our time together feel fun and allowed us to relax and just be in the moment. Mel has a way of showing my wife her true beauty and helping her feel at ease in front of the camera. My favorite photos of our family have all been taken by Mel — she’s been there for every chapter of our story.”

"She doesn’t just take photos — she captures your authentic selves. She finds beauty in the little things"
“I’ve struggled to put this into words, because there truly aren’t any that fully describe her. Mel’s calm, laid-back energy is so soothing to be around. She doesn’t just take photos — she captures your authentic selves. She finds beauty in the little things and lets the kids be themselves, all while offering gentle guidance that never feels scripted. Our family photos mean the world to me. I’ll forever cherish the memories she captures so beautifully.”

"I almost skipped my dream photo location to save time, but Mel encouraged me to go for it"
“I’m so glad we trusted Mel to capture our wedding. We were nervous about posing, worried it wouldn’t feel natural — but during our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease, laughing and guiding us the whole time. Her style is romantic and full of emotion. On our wedding day, I almost skipped my dream photo location to save time, but Mel encouraged me to go for it — and I’m so grateful she did. The magic she created is something I’ll treasure forever.”
