DOCUMENTING LIFE, LOVE AND CHAOS

One day you’re carrying a baby everywhere, the next you’re Shopping for their first car. Parenthood shifts faster than the seasons here in Montreal.

About Carolina | In-Home Newborn & Family Photographer Montreal

Meet Carolina, a Montreal family and newborn photographer known for natural, in-home sessions that capture love, laughter, and everyday life. No stiff posing, just the real you.

I’m a Montreal newborn and family photographer, and also a mama who knows just how quickly everything changes. I believe your family’s story deserves to be remembered as it truly is — not polished, not posed, but full of love, movement, and truth.

For me, photography is keeping proof: that you were here, that you loved each other fiercely, and that these ordinary-extraordinary days mattered.

Your photos should feel like home.

Why In-Home Photos

Your home is more than four walls, it’s the backdrop of your family’s story. It’s the couch where you nurse your baby, the kitchen where little hands steal snacks, the hallway where siblings race. Photographing in-home allows me to capture all the small details that make your life beautiful and unique.

    • My Approach

    I follow your children’s lead, let the light guide us, and make space for real connection. You’ll never need to worry about kids being “too much” — their energy, curiosity, and quirks are what make the photos unforgettable. I know how to find the most flattering angles and best light, even when you feel tired or messy, so you can simply be present with the people you love.

    01

    CANDID

    we’ll play, laugh, and let your family simply be together. The best photos happen when you forget the camera is even there.

    02

    CONNECTIONS

    Love lives in the small gestures — a hand resting on a shoulder, the squeeze of a hug, the tangle of arms and giggles. That’s where the real magic is.

    03

    FEELINGS

    Anyone can take a picture, but I want you to feel yours. Not just today, but thirty years from now when the photos take you right back.

    04

    MEMORIES

    Your session isn’t about posing, it’s about making memories. The kind that feel fun in the moment and even sweeter in hindsight.

    05

    BEAUTY

    There’s beauty everywhere — in the simple, the silly, the messy, and the wild. These are the moments worth holding onto.

    Who I Work With

    Every season of family life deserves to be remembered, which is why I offer sessions that meet you exactly where you are.

    FAMILY

    In-Home & Outdoor Family Sessions

    Your family, as you are right now. Messy, playful, full of personality. Whether we’re at home, in your favourite neighbourhood, or out exploring together, these sessions are led by connection and joy, not stiff posing. They’re about your laughter, your rituals, and the chaos that makes your family yours.

    NEWBORN

    In-Home Newborn Sessions

    A quiet morning in your own space, capturing the tiny details, the sleepy stretches, and the way you hold your baby close. These sessions are slow, gentle, and deeply personal — a chance to pause and remember the very beginning of your story.

    MATERNITY

    Maternity Sessions

    A time of waiting, of wonder, of change. We’ll celebrate your growing belly and the anticipation of what’s to come. These sessions are tender, unhurried, and can be photographed at home or in a beautiful outdoor location around Montreal.

    • Serving Families Across Montreal

    I work with families all across Montreal, from Westmount, Outremont, Mile End, and Plateau, to Pointe-Claire, Verdun, and the West Island. I also travel further afield to Laval, the South Shore, and the Laurentians, photographing families in orchards, along the Lachine Canal, at Beaver Lake, or in the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal.

    Wherever your story lives — in your living room, on your front steps, or running through golden light in a park — I’ll be there with my camera.
