Meet the Photographer Behind Fyvie Studios
If you’ve landed here while searching for a Burlington photographer, you may notice something a little different about my brand photos. Yes — there are the polished portraits. Yes — there’s the camera in hand. And yes… there’s also a horse standing beside me in an open field at golden hour. That image isn’t a marketing prop. It’s my story.

A Golden Fall Goodbye | Horse & Rider Photography in Burlington
Some sessions are about capturing a beautiful evening. Others are about holding onto a chapter of your life before it changes. For Olivia, this fall horse and rider session in Burlington was the latter. Olivia had made the incredibly difficult decision to sell her heart horse after realizing she had unfortunately outgrown him. Anyone who has loved a horse knows that they become so much more than the animal waiting for you at the barn. They carry you through seasons of your li


What a Family Session With Me Actually Looks Like — Especially With Young Kids
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from photographing families, it’s this: young children are wonderfully unpredictable. And I plan for exactly that. One of the most common concerns I hear from parents before a family session is some version of, “I just hope my kids cooperate.” Here’s the good news: I don’t actually need them to. My family sessions aren’t built around children standing perfectly still, looking at the camera and smiling on command. They’re designed around movem

How to Prepare Your Kids for a Fall Family Photography Session
Fall is one of my favourite times of year for family photography in Burlington. The warm colours, tall grasses, cozy layers and beautiful evening light create the perfect backdrop—but if you’re a parent, there’s probably another thought running through your mind: “What if my kids don’t cooperate?” Here’s the good news: they don’t need to. Some of my favourite family photographs happen when kids are running, exploring, laughing, cuddling their parents or doing something comple


A Dreamy Maternity Session at All Who Wander Flower Farm in Dundas, Ontario

Puppy Yoga at Yogatastic Burlington | Branding Photography in Burlington, Ontario
Some branding sessions involve carefully styled products, headshots and perfectly organized workspaces. And some involve an entire litter of English Bulldog puppies running around a yoga studio. I think you can guess which kind of day this was. 🐾 I recently photographed a branding session at Yogatastic in Burlington, Ontario, featuring an adorable litter of English Bulldog puppies to help promote their puppy yoga experiences.

Holiday Horse & Rider Portraits in Burlington | Christmas Equine Photography

A Horse & Rider Portrait Session at King Animal Hospital | Ontario Equine Photographer
Some photography sessions are planned months in advance. Others happen because suddenly, photographs can’t wait. On a Thursday, I received a message about Vyxzen. Vyxzen was receiving care at the stunning King Animal Hospital in King City, Ontario, and their future was uncertain. Their owner wanted photographs together — not someday when everything settled down, but now, while there was still an opportunity to document a relationship that meant so much. We spoke on Thursday a


A Surprise Engagement at The Estate Collection in Burlington
There are some sessions where I know I'm photographing something much bigger than the moment in front of me — and this surprise engagement at The Estate Collection was one of them. When her boyfriend reached out to plan the proposal, he already knew how much this location meant to her. A field of tall grass, rolling hills and the quiet beauty of the horse paddock were exactly what she had envisioned as her dream setting. So, together, we planned how to make it happen — withou
