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, blending elegance with rustic, vintage charm to create fine-art portraits styled with intention and guided by your baby’s comfort. With over a decade of experience and a true safety-first approach, every session is thoughtfully crafted to preserve your baby’s earliest days with grace, authenticity, and heart.

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 use professional lighting to create a consistently soft, controlled look that highlights each delicate detail without compromise. From handcrafted props to timeless styling, every element is carefully curated to honour your family’s story.

As Brant County’s only PPOC-accredited photographer in Newborn Portrait and Portrait – Infant & Child, and with specialized newborn safety certification through APNPI, you can feel at ease knowing your little one is in skilled, gentle, and loving hands.

Mama, I see you.
You are growing life — and soon, you’ll be holding your heart outside your body.
Let me help you preserve these fleeting moments… before they quietly slip into memory.

Welcome to Meraki Photographic Creations, where artistry meets motherhood—and love lives in every frame. As a certified and safety-trained newborn photographer with over a decade of experience, I specialize in creating timeless, organic newborn portraits that preserve the beauty of your baby’s earliest days.

Located in the heart of Paris, Ontario, my cozy newborn photography studio is nestled within our century-old carriage house—a dedicated space thoughtfully designed for your baby’s safety, comfort, and care. Here, newborns, babies, and growing families feel truly at home in a calm and nurturing environment.

I’m proud to be Brant County’s only PPOC-accredited photographer in Newborn Portraits and Portrait – Infant & Child, and I hold newborn safety certification through APNPI—because your baby’s well-being means everything to me.

Mama, I see you.
You’re nurturing life. And soon, you’ll be holding your heart outside your body. Let me help you hold onto this season—every soft cuddle, sleepy yawn, and tiny stretch—before it slips quietly into memory.

You're creating life - let's capture the beauty of this season with art that lasts forever.

Hi I'm Denise!

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! :)
