I'm glad you're here!

Summer Media Studios started as one gal with a small camera and a big dream 📸 Today it’s a full service photography and media studio serving all of Northwestern Ontario!

Here’s a little bit more about me & the story behind Summer Media Studios… 😊💕

Born n raised in NWO

I grew up in Northwestern Ontario, spending my childhood on Lake of the Woods.

I got my very first camera at 12 years old, instantly falling in love with photography and the way it turned little moments into magic.

That spark never left. ✨

I Moved to Vancouver…

After high school, I moved to Vancouver for university, where I used my photography skills to make extra cash every chance I got.

Photoshoots in the city, portraits in the mountains, friends, events, anything I could get in front of my lens.

Creativity paid my way, literally.

I moved back home…

In 2019, I decided to move back home to the country (you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl) and brought my little photo business with me.

I opened a small studio in Fort Frances and started offering photography sessions for families, grads, couples, and local businesses.

Our community showed up, and the business grew. 🤍

I settled in back at home & invested in the business hoping to grow and expand it

With a deep passion for business and entrepreneurship, I expanded my services to support local business owners.

I began offering business consultations, web design, and social media management.

Helping others grow became just as exciting as taking photos, and it quickly became just as booked up as photography did! Turns out, there was already a big need for social media help, web designers, and media consults in our area.

Today SMS has…

photographed hundreds of people and helped dozens of local businesses build brands they’re proud of.

SMS is now known as a creative, reliable, and community centred studio, always ready to take on new ideas and projects.

Whether you’re looking for a photographer, someone to elevate your brand, or support to help your business thrive, we’re here for you.

After finding success in my business…

I was blessed to also meet my husband (who also grew up in NWO but graduated just two years ahead of me - so we had never met!) We got married in 2023, and shortly after welcomed our sweet son, Malakai 🩵
