montreal FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER


I see the beauty in your everyday chaos and turn it into art you’ll treasure forever.

because these everyday moments will be the ones you miss the most.

These are the moments that matter most, the ones that make you stop and marvel at how quickly kids grow up and how precious ordinary days really are.

When your photo session feels relaxed and natural, you get so much more than beautiful images. You get a way to hold onto the love, the beautifully chaotic everyday moments, and all the sweet details that make up your life right now. Exactly as it is.

Meet Your Montreal Family Photographer


Carolina Hanna, Montreal family, newborn, baby, and maternity photographer portrait

I know what you see when you look at your days: tired, dishes, bedtime routines, the constant rush. But I see something completely different. I see laughter and love and joy. I see tenderness. I see kids who love you unconditionally.

I can feel all those emotions that wash over families every single day. The pressure, yes, but also the love. The sadness, but also the pure joy. I want to be there for all of it. I want to celebrate with you when it’s beautiful, and hold space when it’s hard.

Time is such a thief. I’ve been where you are: rushing through those days, living for the weekend, counting down the hours until bedtime so I could finally breathe.

But now? Now that my kids are older, I miss every single one of those chaotic moments in ways I never could have imagined.

That’s exactly why I know how precious this all is, even when it doesn’t feel precious in the moment.

I work with families who let their kids be wonderfully weird and beautifully wild.

Families who can laugh when things fall apart instead of trying to control every moment.

This is loose and free and tender and real. We don’t know exactly what’s going to happen when we’re together, but I can promise you this, it’s going to be something truly beautiful.

Your Session

My approach is simple: let’s just have a good time together. Every family is different, so I want you to feel comfortable being exactly who you are. Think of me as a friend with a camera rather than a photographer directing a shoot. I’ll gently guide things along, but my real job is creating a relaxed space where genuine moments can happen naturally. Those spontaneous laughs, quiet glances, and natural interactions are what tell your story best, and that’s what I’m there to capture.

Your Family Deserves Gorgeous Photographs

Why Choosing the Right Family Photographer Matters

You’re here because you understand how fleeting this time is. Choosing the best family photographer for your family isn’t just about getting pictures, it’s about preserving memories that will become treasured family heirlooms for generations.

I don’t take the invitation into your family’s story lightly. I value your trust and am dedicated to making this process completely stress-free.

What Makes My Family Photography Different

Relaxed, Natural Sessions

I know how awkward it can feel to be photographed. I also know the stress of wondering what your kids might do during the session, or whether everyone will cooperate. After 15 years of photographing families, I’ve seen it all.

Here’s what I want you to know: you can relax and trust me. This is life right now, and in all its beautiful chaos, it’s worth remembering.

A Friend, Not Just a Photographer

Think of me as a friend coming over to hang out. That’s exactly what I want this to feel like. I’ll guide you from the moment you contact me, through your session, and even help you choose the perfect prints (if you want them).

Instead of stiff poses and forced smiles, I create space where real laughter, genuine connections, and authentic love naturally emerge.

The Experience You Can Expect

Stress-free process from initial contact to final delivery
Natural, candid moments
Comfortable atmosphere where your family can just be themselves
Professional guidance throughout your entire experience
Printing assistance to help you display your memories beautifully

Montreal Family Photography That Captures Real Life

After 15 years in family photography, I can see beauty where you might not. I find that sweet spot where nothing matters but you and your family: the connections, the laughter, the quiet tender moments.

There’s nothing I’d rather be doing than capturing your family stories.

Your Legacy in Pictures

As you look back at your family photographs in the years to come, my hope is that they remind you of:

– The deep love that runs through your family
– The precious everyday moments you’ve shared
– The countless adventures you’ve experienced together
– The unique and unbreakable bond that makes your family special

Your photos should be a constant reminder of what matters most.

I hope to be part of telling your story. Enquire now.
