The Year We Launched A’Daylia Gardens

2021. What a year. It was not without its challenges. Actually it was almost entirely challenges wasn’t it? Somehow, despite COVID and months of lockdowns, my mom and I planted seeds, grew flowers and a small business blossomed alongside them.

We are very fortunate to have had the resources and support to launch a floral business and build a tiny shop when so many other small business owners are struggling to stay afloat after so many mandatory shutdowns in Ontario since 2020. Its been a crazy couple of years. Two things we know to be true, more now than ever: FAMILY and FLOWERS can keep you going. It’s enough.

We hope our tiny shop full of fresh cut flowers and all the pictures I got to take throughout the year will bring a few moments of peace and beauty to your day.

You can find a great big gallery of flower photos from every month of the year by visiting Welcome To A’Daylia Gardens.

We’re immensely grateful for all the support we’ve received from friends and family over the past year or so. Thank you!

Wishing you and yours much love and joy in 2022.

Love from,

Stephanie (The Mother, Owner & Flower Farmer)

and Emily (The Daughter, Photographer & Social Media)

P.S. A’Daylia Gardens doesn’t have its own website yet.

Hello 2019! Here’s What’s New With Emily Beatty Imagery

If you’re been paying attention to my Instagram, you’ve noticed me talking about a few big changes for my photography business in 2019. Its true! Life has been beautiful and messy and unpredictable these last couple of years. I’ve been fortunate to work will all different kinds of clients and to really hone my skills in the 10+ years since I began my career in this industry.

Lately, lots of people have been asking if I’m busy shooting weddings this summer, and the answer is, “Nope!” Its been my privilege and joy to work with scores of couples to document their big days, but for now at least, I’m enjoying semi-retirement from the wedding industry.

I have so many interests photographically, I truly wish there were more hours in the day! The truth is, I need to narrow my focus to really excel at my work. There are a great deal of photographers serving my region that specialize in wedding and newborn sessions- especially if you’re looking for those bright and airy or dark and moody styles that are so trendy right now. I’ve come to realize that my bold and colourful style and skill set are better suited for creative portrait art.

In particular, lately I’ve been really excited about the increasingly popular niche of Personal Brand Photography. Its all about helping other business owners and online personalities tell the story of their passion and draw people in with really high quality images.

Now please don’t go thinking this new path means I don’t have time to update family portraits! On the contrary, I’m moving away from weddings and newborns so that I have time to pursue this new niche while continuing to serve the clients that I’ve already come to know and love.

Furthermore, all past EBI clients that have a customized link to a Pixieset gallery now have the option to order wall art, high quality prints and other products directly from your online gallery.

I’m also revisiting my love for fine art photography. For the first time ever, you can now purchase home decor items that are personalized with my artwork via my Society6 Shop.

Fall/Winter 2019 promises plenty of new picture taking opportunities. (Like Holiday Minis, happening at the Kitchener photo studio November 9th and two other dates this fall.) Stay tuned for more fun fresh photos of lovers, ladies and little ones. Thank you so much for visiting!
