I’m Raelynn: a wedding, elopement, and family photographer based in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
I’m here for the people who feel deeply, love openly, and want their photos to reflect the truth of who they are.
If you’re looking for perfectly posed, magazine-style smiles, that’s not really me.
But if you want images that feel warm, alive, and full of emotion — I’m all in.
I create the kind of photographs you return to when you want to remember what mattered most.
No pressure. No performative posing.
Just honest, emotional, beautifully imperfect moments captured in a way that reflects who you truly are.

Not sure what to do with your hands? Don’t worry.
I offer simple, natural prompts that help you interact in ways that feel genuine, comfortable, and totally you.
03.
Your story isn’t something we create; it unfolds naturally.
I focus on the real, in-between moments that show your connection, your personality, and your truth.
02.
You deserve to feel relaxed and supported, not rushed or pressured.
I bring a gentle, steady energy to every session so you can breathe, settle in, and be fully present in the moment.
01.
The way someone exhales when they feel safe.
The way a child tucks into their parent like they’ve always belonged there.
The way two people look at each other when they think no one is watching.
My background in therapeutic arts taught me that the most meaningful stories aren’t planned.
They’re felt.
They happen in the in-between moments, the breath, the laugh, the softness, the honesty.
Photography became my way of holding onto those moments.
Now I get to help others hold onto theirs.
When you work with me, you don’t have to know what to do.
You don’t have to be photogenic.
You don’t have to pretend.
You just have to be yourselves.
I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when the moment unfolds naturally.
My goal is never to manufacture a perfect image... it’s to create a space where you can feel something real and trust that the camera will take care of the rest.
Because the truth is…
Your presence matters more than any pose.
I bring an energy that’s grounding, steady, and supportive, especially for kids, camera-shy adults, or emotional days.
You won’t be stuck in stiff positions. Instead, I encourage movement, connection, and natural interaction.
Your gallery won’t just be pretty portraits... it will be a feeling. A mood. A memory you can step back into.
Not a filtered version.
Not a curated performance.
Just the truth, beautifully told.
When I’m not photographing weddings or families, I’m usually with my own kids, doing things like exploring the woods behind our house, skipping rocks at the lake, or collecting little “treasures” they insist we bring home.
These are the moments that remind me why I do what I do.
The quiet, fleeting pieces of life we never want to forget.
I’m also almost always creating something, whether that's painting, sketching, or following whatever idea lights me up. Creativity is how I process, reconnect, and stay grounded.
That same passion lives inside Blood & Honey, my space for therapeutic arts and creative healing. It’s where I guide women back to themselves through art, self-expression, and gentle emotional exploration.
If you ever want to explore that side of my world…
