A Decade of Witchy Photography At A’Daylia Gardens

Leave a reply

My favourite holiday tradition!

What began as a fun last minute idea to spend time with my nieces back in 2015 has transformed into something magical.

Every year, I gather up a handful of friend/model/clients and we dress up for an afternoon of witchy fun and frivolity and photos at A’Daylia Gardens. Why not? It is the absolute best way to enjoy spooky season, in my humble opinion.

This year will be my TENTH witch shoot. Can’t wait! Here’s a random roundup of moments from the past decade or so of witch pictures. Enjoy, and Happy Halloween!

Over Ten Years Of EBI Holiday Minis in Kitchener-Waterloo.

Leave a reply

For me, the holidays begin in November with my sister’s birthday and my annual holiday mini event.

Here’s a roundup of some, but certainly not all holiday portrait setups from roughly 2015-2025. Shout out to C. and D. and their mom, who attended TEN years of mini sessions in a row. You’re the best at holiday-ing. I love it.

What will our 2026 theme be? I couldn’t choose, so we have two! Winter Luxe with evergreens and soft boho vibes is coming to the home studio Saturday November 14th. Deck The Halls minis with a deep green wall, a Christmas tree with loads of ornaments, and colourful nostalgic paper decorations are going to be available Sunday November 15th. Here’s a booking link with all the latest info on 2026 minis.

Hi Everyone! Turns out my fall is filling up fast, so I thought I’d share a calendar with my current bookings and available dates. You’ll see just a couple of weekend days available for the next three months, so if you’re thinking about fall family photos, now’s the time to get in touch! I do have some weeknights and after school times open in addition to the green AVAILABLE listings. This year I will NOT be taking any December bookings to ensure I have all my other assignments completed well before Christmas. So please plan accordingly! 😉 Check back soon for info and test images for this year’s seasonal mini sessions.

For inquiries, or to book a session, send an e-mail to emily@emilybeatty.com or call 519 568 9819.

The Year We Launched A’Daylia Gardens

Leave a reply

All Photography by Emily Beatty Imagery

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.

If you’re not already following us on social media, we’d love to see you online.

Summery Family Photos In Paris

Leave a reply

There’s a special place in my heart for this family.

We finally had the opportunity to get together for some family of four portraits on a hot hot day at their family farm in Paris, Ontario in August of 2020.

Love and light forever.

Summertime 2021 At Emily Beatty Imagery

Leave a reply

It has been quite a year or so hasn’t it?

The pandemic has been a really challenging time for so many people, and I’m no exception. Emily Beatty Imagery has been closed for the better part of 15 months. Now, at long last, there seems to be a path forward to reopen small businesses here in Ontario. (AKA I’m finally allowed to photograph other humans once again!)

I’ve had the opportunity to rethink the way I was doing a lot of thing within my business and my personal life. One of the silver linings during this time has been helping my mom realize her dream of opening up a small floral design business. She named it A’Daylia Gardens and its now up and running.

(Find more A’Daylia Gardens pictures here.)

So that means that I’m now available to book some photography clients and then ramp up toward what I hope will be a much more exciting holiday portrait season than the one we experienced in 2020.

Goals include offering both an indoor and outdoor option for holiday 2021 minis as well as taking on some new head shot clients and doing lots of outdoor family photo sessions during late summer and fall.
