Montreal Family, Newborn & Maternity Photographer


I find the beauty in your everyday chaos and photograph it exactly as it is.

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

These are the days you’ll want back. The way they reach for you, the sound of the house when everyone’s home, the ordinary Tuesday that is somehow everything.

I photograph Montreal families in their real lives, at home and in the places that belong to them. Candid, unposed, and true to who you actually are.

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 you. 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 photograph.

Your Family Deserves Gorgeous Photographs

Finding a Montreal Family Photographer Who Gets It

You’re not looking for posed portraits. You want someone who can walk into your home, read the room, and come away with pictures that actually look like your family. After 16 years photographing Montreal families, I know the difference between images that get framed and images that get forgotten. I don’t take that trust lightly.

This process is completely stress-free on your end.

In-Home, Unposed, Real Photos

Relaxed, Natural Sessions

I’ve photographed enough families to know that the best moments don’t happen when everyone’s looking at the camera. The laughing, the chaos, the quiet in-between, that’s what I’m here for. Sessions are relaxed by design. Kids don’t need to perform. Parents don’t need to smile on cue.

After 16 years, I’ve seen it all. You can relax knowing I’ve got you.

A Friend, Not Just a Photographer

I’ll guide you from the first message to final gallery delivery. No stiff poses or forced smiles. Just space for your family to be exactly as you are.

How It Works

Stress-free process from initial contact to final delivery
Natural, candid moments of the moments you care about
Comfortable atmosphere where your family can just be themselves
Professional guidance throughout your entire experience

Montreal Family Photography That Documents Real Life

I photograph families in Montreal and the surrounding area, including Westmount, Outremont, NDG, Laval, Longueuil, and the South Shore.

Sessions take place in your home or a location that’s meaningful to you.

I find the moments you’re not performing for, the connections, the laughter, the quiet between the loud parts.

Your Story 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.
