“How on earth is a photographer going to get my 2 year old to sit still!?! That was my biggest concern while considering getting portraits of her done. When we got to the studio my fears went away and it was amazing to watch Vanessa in action, and as it turns out, my favourite photos are NOT the ones where Melissa is sitting still!”

“I have come into Vanessa’s studio three times over the last 8 months; once with my husband and children, another time for headshots for my daughter’s acting portfolio and lastly, for photos of myself! She is gifted in the true sense of the word and it’s always relaxing and rewarding shooting with her."

“For years we dreaded getting the yearly family photos done at our local Sears, so this year I decided to step out of the box and try something different. The results were amazing! No longer did we have to pose for a stuffy family portrait, but we got to interact and let Vanessa truly document the spirit of our family. Thank you so much! We’ll see you soon!”

"Vanessa was able to capture lovely photos of our family, even though it seemed impossible to get the right photo with a squirmy two-year-old and a three-month-old baby. She not only delivered on the photos, but she did such a great job of touching them up, so we all looked perfect. Our friends and family love them!"

"Vanessa Jeakins is a fantastic photographer! I was so thrilled with the outcome of my family photos that I asked Vanessa if she would also take some professional headshots of me. Once again I was so pleased. Watching Vanessa work patiently and efficiently with my two young children was a treat. She really let them be themselves and was able to capture some wonderful shots and expressions because of it. Vanessa exhibited the same patience when it was time to work with me! She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and confident. The time flew by and I ended up with photos that I am proud to distribute. I have and will continue to recommend Vanessa to friends and family. Thanks, Vanessa! "

“Vanessa had a way with my kids that was phenomenal...and thanks to that, we got so many amazing photos. I hadn’t had pictures of my 2 and 4 year old since they were both newborns, and from now on, I’d like to make a photo shoot a yearly event!”

The photos are more than just images of the girls – you captured their personalities and the way they interact with each other. It tells the story of our family, which is exactly what we set out to do."

"Although I see my children every day, Vanessa has caught them at that moment in time we want to remember, like smelling a tulip or pretending to be a firefighter! Thanks for the great photos."

"Vanessa was able to capture some AMAZING photographs of our 3 month old son. She has great techniques that she was able to use to keep my son entertained, smiling and laughing throughout the entire shoot. She also has a natural eye for knowing which shots are going to work and how to capture the very best photos from her subject. I'm thrilled to have these amazing memories that will be forever preserved in high definition! Thanks Vanessa!"
