Capturing Memories Since 2005
At Happy Smiles Studio, we make photography fit your life. With a full-time studio and flexible hours - day, evening, or weekend - we're here when you need us, rain or shine.
From professional headshots and family portraits to maternity milestones and passport photos, we capture life's important moments. Pets are family too, and our calm, welcoming space helps them relax so their true personalities shine. Outdoor sessions are also an option.
Children especially love our whimsical themed sessions - where they can become superheroes, princesses, mermaids, or pirates. Costumes are provided, and the memories are priceless.
With years of experience working with children and adults with disabilities, every session is patient, adaptive, and never rushed.
Most of all, we're proud to offer a safe, inclusive space where everyone belongs - and every smile matters.

Capturant des souvenirs depuis 2005
Chez Happy Smiles Studio, nous adaptons la photographie à votre vie. Avec un studio à temps plein et des horaires flexibles – de jour, en soirée ou le week-end – nous sommes là quand vous avez besoin de nous, beau temps, mauvais temps.
Qu’il s’agisse de portraits professionnels, de photos de famille, de maternité ou de passeport, nous savons capter les moments précieux de la vie. Les animaux de compagnie font aussi partie de la famille, et notre espace calme et accueillant les aide à se détendre. Les séances à l'extérieur sont également possibles.
Les enfants adorent particulièrement nos séances thématiques féeriques où ils peuvent devenir super-héros, princesses, sirènes ou pirates. Les costumes sont fournis et les souvenirs sont inestimables.
Avec plusieurs années d’expérience auprès d’enfants et d’adultes ayant des handicaps, chaque séance est patiente, adaptée et jamais précipitée.
Surtout, nous sommes fiers d’offrir un espace sécuritaire, inclusif et accueillant où chacun a sa place – et où chaque sourire compte.

Hi, I'm Ginette! I'm the face behind
Happy Smiles Studio.
I'm a mom of five, grandmother of eleven, great-grandmother of one, and cat mom to two. So trust me - I know a thing or two about photographing kids and pets! Check out the photo gallery below to see what else I photograph.
My love for photography started at 13 with my first camera, and it's grown into both a career and a way to give back. I often use my work to support local animal rescues.
Outside the studio, I enjoy reading, crafting, sewing, and movie nights - but my greatest joy is traveling.

Bonjour, je suis Ginette, le visage derrière le studio Happy Smiles!
Maman de cinq enfants, grand-maman de onze petits-enfants, arrière-grand-maman d’un trésor et maman de deux chats, je sais certainement comment photographier les enfants et les animaux! Jetez un coup d’œil à la galerie ci-dessous pour découvrir tout ce que j’aime aussi photographier.
Ma passion pour la photographie a commencé à 13 ans avec mon tout premier appareil photo. Elle est depuis devenue à la fois une carrière qui me permet aussi de soutenir les refuges pour animaux.
En dehors du studio, j’aime lire, bricoler, coudre et passer des soirées cinéma, mais ma plus grande joie reste de voyager et de découvrir de nouveaux horizons.
Kind words from some of our clients
Profile Photo Session
Ginette Is an amazing photographer and an amazing person! It was a pleasure to work with her yesterday, while she took pictures of me with different poses and different changes of clothes. It was a wonderful and fun experience, and her new studio is beautiful! Thank you, Ginette for the beautiful profile photos!

Nice Experience
Ginette has taken photos of my daughter and it was a lovely experience. She has such a calm, welcoming and warm presence that my daughter felt so comfortable having her picture taken, and loved the live animals she was able to photograph with.

Amazing Dog Portrait
Happy Smiles Studio had a photo shoot of pet photos at Valentine’s Day to fund raise for the Fredericton SPCA. We took our two fur babies and LOVE the pictures that she took. She had a great setup, patience, and worked at keeping the dog’s attention while she took many pictures. Our youngest puppy is 7 months old and I truly doubted we could get a good picture of him as he’s so active. But a miracle occurred and he stayed still for a brief time and Ginette got several amazing pictures. I would definitely have Happy Smiles Studio do pictures for us again. ❤️

Santa Experience
We loved the "back-to-school" photos at our daycare by Happy Smiles Studio so much that we booked again with Ginette for a "Santa Experience". The boys read stories with Santa, baked cookies with Mrs. Claus, and made crafts with the elf. Santa also had great conversations with the boys as he magically knew all of their favourite foods, toys, etc. in advance. Cannot recommend Ginette enough! Such great photos and experience.

MERMAID SESSION
Ginette is such a genuine, kind person who is very talented with her photography. She did a mermaid session with my step-daughter and I am absolutely speechless with her work. 10/10 recommend Ginette. We cannot wait to come back for future sessions.
