Hi, I’m Denise—Welcome to Meraki Photographic Creations
Where timeless portraiture meets the tender beginnings of parenthood.
I specialize in gently posed newborn photography that blends elegance with rustic, vintage charm—creating fine-art portraits styled with intention and guided by baby’s comfort. With over a decade of experience and a safety-first approach, each session is carefully crafted to preserve your baby’s earliest days with grace and authenticity.
Nestled inside our century-old carriage house in Paris, Ontario, my warm and cozy studio is designed for both artistry and ease. This is not a natural light studio—I work with professional lighting to create a consistently soft, controlled look that highlights every delicate feature without compromise. From handcrafted props to timeless styling, every detail is curated to reflect your family’s story.
As Brant County’s only PPOC-accredited photographer in Newborn Portraits and Portrait – Infant & Child, and certified in newborn safety through APNPI, you can rest easy knowing your little one is in skilled, loving hands.
Mama, I see you.
You’re growing life—and soon, you’ll be holding your heart outside your body.
Let me help you preserve these fleeting moments—before they softly fade into memory.

Elegant, Heirloom-Quality Portraits ~
My Artistic Approach
Every portrait I create is a quiet celebration of love, legacy, and detail. My style is a blend of fine~art portraiture, shaped by the warmth of rustic textures, the charm of vintage inspiration, and the grace of timeless elegance.
Each session is styled with intention~featuring hand-selected props, soft neutral palettes, and heirloom~quality accents. I thoughtfully source from local artisans, curating a newborn client closet filled with delicate headbands, floral crowns, hand-knit bonnets, and wraps, each chosen to enhance your baby’s natural beauty without overwhelming it.
This is storytelling with soul~imagery that honors the quiet, fleeting magic of your baby’s earliest days and transforms it into art meant to be held, displayed, and cherished for generations.

I was referred to Denise through a good friend and all I can say is WOW. Wow to it all...Denise is professional and so incredibly passionate at what she does. From start to finish, her communication was on point and the turnover time to get the photos was exceptional (considering editing takes time to do it right). I never knew the amount of commitment and effort it takes to get newborn shots until now. We are so happy with the final result and would highly recommend Denise. Thank you again for your amazing work and for sharing your talent! :)
