Behind The Lens:

A Niagara Photographer’s Journal

Niagara Region, Ontario Family & Newborn Photographer

Stories, Guides and Tips

Welcome to my photography blog! Here you’ll find helpful tips for families preparing for their photo sessions, guides to the best photo locations throughout the Niagara Region and some amazing images for your enjoyment! I will also share behind the scenes stories and inspiration for displaying your family photos as beautiful custom wall art.

I’m Michelle DenBak, a professional family and newborn photographer dedicated to capturing the heart of your story, turning those special moments into wall art. While I’m based in St. Catharines, my work takes me across the entire Niagara Peninsula—from the beautiful vineyards of Niagara-on-the-Lake, the scenic shores of Lake Ontario to the pretty landscapes of Fonthill, Beamsville, and beyond.
