Every time this family gets in front of my camera, it's an absolute dream! <3
Always love our photo sessions and getting the chance to catch up <3
I'm off to Stirling today to shoot with Allison Hadley Photography . Hard to believe it's already been a week since Thomas and Erin's gorgeous, intimate cottage wedding!
<3
I met Crystal by fluke during one of our Religious Studies classes in University. We've always had one of those constant friendships that can pick up wherever you left off after any length of time! <3
Congratulations, Crystal and Chris! Thanks for making me a part of your beautiful adventures into parenthood!
High fives all around for another year of beautiful portraits with this gorgeous family!
I think the best part of my job is seeing clients year after year and watching families and children grow in front of my lens! <3
Just the most expressive little man! <3
So much love for this family session from last week!
Perfect evenings are made with beautiful locations and even more gorgeous photographers!
I'm so honored to be asked to take photos for other photographers, and it's always an absolute joy working with Lexine Ménard Photographie - go and check out her amazing work if you haven't already! <3
Pretty perfect country wedding by all accounts! <3
Congratulations, Amey and Chris - I love when clients turn into friends. We were honored to capture your wedding and I can't wait to share more from your big day! <3
Impossible to pick sneak peeks to share with a gorgeous bride, handsome groom, beautiful venue and absolutely stunning details! <3
Congratulations, Shawn and Ashton! <3
This was one of the most creative and fun engagement sessions!
These two love working out and being active together - I love that they stepped outside the box and incorporated their passion into their engagement photos. I can't wait for their wedding in less than a month!

It was a gorgeous, warm day in Renfrew last week for Candace and Brandon to say "I do" in front of their closest friends and family.
Congratulations, you two! Thanks for having us!
<3
Happy wedding day to Shawn and Ashton!
After a late night of editing there are so many beautiful galleries to go out Including this sweet babe's! <3 I loved being able to incorporate outdoor newborn, lifestyle newborn and more classic newborn styles in one for Blake's newborn session! <3
The absolute best family shoots in my books are the ones that completely embrace childhood chaos - while also getting those beautiful "frame-able" moments! ;)
One of my favorite things about editing weddings is reminiscing on all the completely unique and hilarious moments from each wedding day - and Jason and Julie's had SO many
Like when Jason choreographed a surprise bridal party dance for Julie to Larger than Life by the Backstreet Boys - and they NAILED it!
Another perfectly beautiful wedding day this year as Roxanne and Joe said "I do" in Belleville!
It was absolutely impossible to pick sneak peeks for this day - so here's four! ;)
Last week I met up with Virginia and David for a beautiful beachy engagement session. Because they're saying "I do" this winter, we couldn't have picked a more perfect evening for these photos - sunkissed summer engagement photos in stark contrast to their freezing winter wedding photos! :)
Every year I meet up with the Woodhouse family to update their family photos in a bit of an unconventional way! They dress up like different groups of fictional characters each year - our first was the Adam's Family, last year's theme was Alice in Wonderland.
This year's theme was Star Wars!
Always such a blast working on creative ideas clients bring to me! <3
We got married on September 23rd,2017!
Mara photogaphed my best friends wedding the year before and I was sold that she would be our photographer from meeting her then! And we weren't even engaged then! haha. She is so easy to work with, the most amazing personality! She makes you feel so comfortable; as the two of us had never been photographed before. She values your opinion and the visions you have for your photos. Her creativity is impeccable and she goes above and beyond to take the most incredible photos for you!! (Ie, lying down in dirt on her stomach in 40 degree weather to capture a moment for us)!.
I would highly recommend Mara to anyone if they need photos for any type of occasion! I cannot wait when the times comes, when I am pregnant and we have Mara capture our maternity photos for us! My husband and I love Mara, and cannot say enough good things about her work and dedication to her craft!
We cannot WAIT to see the rest of the photos she captured on our special day!
I would recommend Mara to anyone and everyone. She is a fantastic and easy going lady who can capture you in any picture. She does great work and she was worth every penny. My wife and I absolutely love Mara, she was able to get us in the most romantic photos.
She goes way above and beyond. If you need photos done, she is the lady to go to. If we decide we want to do another photo shoot we will be call her back for sure.
Mara, Tracey and I can not thank you enough for everything you did to capture us and our family together. You really made it easy for us to be relaxed and stressfree on our special day.

Absolutely in love with every single shot from our May 13th wedding! Mara was so easy going and delightful to work with. Even though the weather was rainy and dreary, she was so upbeat and positive! She is down to earth and professional - a perfect combination, and I honestly could not have picked a better photographer to capture our special day. Each photo truly depicted our love for each other and had the perfect combination of candid and formal shots - not to mention the photos are top quality! Vibrant and flawless! Mara is absolutely amazing.
We got married this past weekend and we are so thrilled we had Mara there to capture our perfect day!! She is super friendly, creative and really listened to what Jason and I wanted to capture from our wedding. Thank you again Mara for everything you did for us :) Can't wait to see our pictures
No idea where to even start thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the time to come see us this weekend and capturing so much love between a girl and her horse.. I'm forever greatful for your patience, kindness and understanding you made her feel so proud of him.. thank you a million times over
Thank you thank you thank you! Life through exposure is beyond perfect! Mara is great to work with. She listens to your wants, is super dedicated and so personable! We loved working with her for our wedding! Her work is incredibly beautiful. I cant wait to show my future children my wedding photos. Thank you again for memorializing our wedding
Mara did our family shoot last month and we are in love with the photos we just got back! Immediately we clicked, hard not to with Mara's outgoing personality. She had all the photos mentally prepared and was quick to tell us if there was a hair, or hand out of place :)
Cannot wait until our wedding, in 2 weeks :) Thank you!!!!
Just finished going through our engagement photos and now absolutely can't wait for our wedding!! I'm someone who gets extremely nervous in front of a camera and hates almost every picture and Mara completely changed all that in one hour!!! Amazing ideas, amazing talent and very obviously has a huge passion!
Love this woman! She is an amazing photographer and has such a kindred heart. Mara works awesome with children and people of all sorts. She has taken our pictures 2 years in a row and we will be blessed to have her apart of our family photos for years to come! Thanks for being amazing Mara!
I was sooo happy with the amazingness of Mara. She's not only a great photographer but she's super easy going and extremely going. She went above and beyond at our wedding last weekend. She had great picture and posing ideas and was able to handle and direct my "not so easy to deal with at times family". I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures she snapped :)
Amazing work. Shawn met with her prior to proposing and she was there to capture that moment for us, we have beautiful, breath-taking photos from that day that I will cherish forever. I also did a boudoir photoshoot with her in February and her eye for detail and the way she made me feel so confident and comfortable was amazing. Naturally we couldn't picture anybody else for our big day. She will be doing our engagement photos and capturing our wedding day and we couldn't be more excited!
Mara was excellent! Professional, fun, easy going and directed us nicely! It made group photos quick and painless! Thank you Mara!
From the moment Jordan and I sat down with Mara for coffee months ago we knew she would be the perfect person to capture the feel and excitement of our special day.
She was open to any and all ideas as well as locations that we may or may not have been allowed to shoot at (including the train tracks which were a bit of a drive away.)
She was super fun to work with (when she wanted us to know she was there) otherwise she was basically a fly on the wall capturing all the candid moments throughout the night that we didnt know were being shot.
She was professional, creative and hilarious and we will be recommending her to everyone we know that may be getting married in the future!
Mara was amazing. She is very professional and talented. She takes one look around the space and seems to instantly know how to use it to make photos turn out perfect. We had so much fun on our wedding day with Mara. We highly recommend. Thank you Mara for being so awesome.
MY FAVOURITE PHOTOGRAPHER! she's so sweet and so bubbly! you can tell she loves what she does, when you work with her she makes you feel like "This is your day to shine" she captures these special moments in wonderful ways & doesn't make you feel like "just another client" , she always puts your ideas into consideration and they turn out 100xs better than originally planned, her prices are very reasonable and the edits are amazing. I definitely recommend her for all the special days you want perfectly photographed you're doing great Mara ! I can't wait for our next little photoshoot !☺️
We have had a maternity shoot, newborn shoot and now a Christmas mini shoot. Mara makes it so fun and comfortable to be in front of the camera. Mara is so passionate for what she does and it shines through in her photography. So excited for future shoots with her and my family�
Mara did my Equine photos just last week with my special horse Thyme. It was a special moment for me. I think she captured it very well. I don't have the photos back yet but from the few I have seen She takes amazing photos! And I thought we didn't have much set to work with, right Mara!? I was wrong! Absolutely Beautiful! So far. I'm Very impressed. And have passed along her name to a few people so far :).
Strongly recommend this photographer.
Thank you Mara!
I recently had a boudoir session with photography by Mara and hair and makeup with Paisley. These ladies were so professional and made my upcoming 50th birthday gift to me extra special. They both made me feel comfortable and it was an amazing few hours! Mara sent me a few of my photos tonight and they wowed me!!! Am so excited to see the rest. !
I have nothing but good things to say about Life Through Exposure photography. Mara is an extremely professional, fun loving, and patient photographer. She is fantastic at posing/assisting with posing, and makes the entire process a fun and laid back experience. She is very efficient, and works hard to ensure your photos are available for preview asap. I would definitely use Mara's services again, as well as recommend her to others :)
Mara first of all was so kind and second of all has amazing talent! My boyfriend and I, plus our two very crazy pups had a mini session today and it couldn't have been more enjoyable. We will be calling Mara for all of our photo needs in the future! Can't wait to see the photos!
