For years I have LOVED Scandinavian art and it’s flavour of minimalism. It’s what inspires my fine art images of The Rouge. And so now, I hope to bring that inspiration to these sessions. Welcome to the quintessential minimalism portrait session. One light, one space, one backdrop. Timeless black and white images of your loved ones. These portraits are meant to be printed BIG - think 24x36 framed or canvas. But they would look beautiful at any size in a gallery collection or on a mantel.
Who is this session for? It’s perfect for your little’s, grads, couples, updated family portraits and lifestyle headshots.
This is exclusive pricing to purchase online in the gallery the following weekend - buy only what you love ♥️

Who are we raising for?
Many charities are hurting during these uncertain and trouble times and I want to be able to help as many as I can locally with your help.
Sinead Zalitach is a young woman who happens to live with an exceptionally rare, life-threatening and degenerative condition called Parkes Weber Syndrome (PKWS).
Foreman is the first dog in a partnership between MSAR Service Dogs and DogSchool Israel. He is a combination of: a mobility, PTSD, medical alert & response and performs tasks tailored to help make Sinead’s life easier.
Due to the severity of Sinead’s medical needs, MSAR Service Dogs was kind enough to place foreman with Sinead before he has been fully paid off. Since being placed with Sinead in November of 2019, Foreman has saved her life numerous times. He has detected multiple blood clots, severe infections as well as dangerous spikes and drops in her blood pressure and heart rate.
Currently there is no government funding for service dogs. Due to the unique and complex nature of Sinead’s needs, she did not qualify for a service dog through charitable service dog organizations as they could not accommodate her needs. There are also no charities that provide the funding for individuals to obtain a service dog.
As you can imagine, a dog who requires such specialized training and possesses the life saving capabilities (mentioned above) comes with an extremely high cost. Foreman’s cost is $35,000 and while Sinead and her family have been able to raise an amazing $20,539, they still have $14,461 to go. Unfortunately, like many things covid-19 has put any possibility of in person fundraising on hold.
