Hey there! You can call me Maxx (“Maxwell” just looked fancier for a business name). I’m a family, maternity, and newborn photographer based in Toronto, capturing all the love, chaos, and laughter that makes life beautiful. Whether it’s an outdoor adventure, a cozy in-home session, or a styled studio shoot, I’m here to make sure your moments turn into memories you’ll treasure forever. Let’s create something amazing together!

I LOVE WHAT I DO

I can't imagine doing anything else

I truly have the best job in the world.  I get to witness and capture some of life’s most beautiful, fleeting moments. From the quiet anticipation of an expecting parent to the tiny fingers of a brand-new baby, to the joyful chaos of a growing family, I love every single part of it.

 

What makes this work so special isn’t just the photos; it’s the people. I love getting to know the families I work with, hearing their stories, and creating images that feel true to who they are. There’s nothing better than capturing those real, unscripted moments; the giggles, the cuddles, the looks of pure love that happen when no one’s trying too hard.

 

Photography isn’t just about taking pictures for me, it’s about preserving memories. It’s about creating something that families can look back on years from now and feel the love all over again. Knowing that I get to play a small part in that is the most rewarding thing I could ever imagine.

MAKING MOMENTS last a lifetime

Photos are more than just images, they’re time capsules, freezing moments we can never get back. They capture love, connection, and all the little details that make life special. In a world that moves fast, photos let us pause, relive, and share our most cherished memories for generations to come.
