about me

Photo by Alaina Danielle Photography
Hi, I’m Kathleen Neufeld! I’m a photographer based in the Burlington, Ontario area. I have three boys and yes, it’s very busy as people ask me often… and loud. I cry easily at happy moments…. milestone moments like baby’s first haircut, annually on the first day of school and everyday moments when love is so pure and real.
I take pictures to document the little details so they can be remembered and cherished for years and years to come. I’m a dweller on moments past, so photography is some form of therapy for me. I know I’ll always be able to remember just how my baby’s toes curled under as he stood for the first time, or how those dimples in his cheeks only appear with his shy smile. Lifestyle photography has been a long time passion for me and I’d like to capture your precious family memories and moments that today seem ordinary but eventually will be even more special and cherished.
My favourite subjects are my own kids, newborns, and older babies. I wholeheartedly love to see newborns I've photographed come back with their families year after year for an outdoors family session. It's so fulfilling for me to keep in touch and capture them as they grow into toddlers and older kids.
I love the hot summer weather, the east coast and standing at the edge of the ocean. It is my absolute happy place. That, and Disney World. I love all things Disney and have a blast chatting about favourite rides, restaurants and resorts, especially if I’m in the middle of planning our next vacation!
I am honoured to have my photography featured and recognized at the following places. As my business and my family life became busier, I have not had the time to enter photo contests or recognition websites. I'd love to pursue this again, but client work and my children's needs always come first! So please review my portfolio and form your own opinion of my skill. Ha! ;)

Often people ask me what inspired the development of my
business name. Hope + Salt Photography is the
combination of my two favourite quotes.
hope is the only thing
stronger than fear
AND
the cure for everything is
salt water
sweat, tears, or the sea
