This is Photography is a Halifax-based specialist in family photography led by Heather Crosby Gionet. As a dedicated family photographer, Heather focuses on creating relaxed, honest images that feel like your life — not a staged photoshoot. Whether you want a newborn gallery, playful children’s portraits, a bump session or a multi-generation family portrait, Heather’s goal is always the same: to capture the genuine connections and everyday gestures that make your family unique. Why choose This is Photography? Heather brings a warm, conversational approach that helps even the most camera-shy children and parents feel comfortable. She believes in variety — mixing candid documentary moments with thoughtfully lit portraits — so every gallery includes a range of angles, expressions and lighting. The result is a collection of images that tell a story and that you’ll want on your walls and in your hands. How Heather works with families: sessions are relaxed and tailored to your needs. Many shoots happen outdoors at favourite Halifax locations or right in your home where babies and toddlers are most at ease; studio-style setups are available for classic portraits or newborn work. Heather prepares with a short consultation to understand what matters most to you, offers simple styling suggestions, and encourages families to show up as they are. For little ones, she keeps the pace playful and fun — often turning spontaneous moments into the most treasured images. Heather values privacy and respect for her clients. Many family sessions result in intimate images that families choose to keep private; she honours those preferences while delivering beautiful, polished galleries. She also welcomes creative ideas — from cake-smash celebrations to relaxed beach walks — and is happy to share full galleries so you know the kind of coverage to expect. Based in Halifax, This is Photography combines professional technique with a heartfelt love of family life. If you’re looking for a family photographer who specialises in newborns, children and family portraits and who will capture the real, messy, joyful moments of your life, Heather offers thoughtful, experienced coverage that preserves those memories for years to come.
