Welcome to My Special Interest — where family photography is approached with patience, creativity, and genuine connection. Founded and operated by Macarie Smith, a nationally accredited portrait photographer with the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC), our studio is built on the belief that every family deserves to feel seen, understood, and beautifully captured just as they are.
Macarie specializes in photography for families with neurodiverse children, creating a safe, flexible, and judgment-free space where authentic moments can unfold naturally. With a deep appreciation for individuality and lived experience, sessions are guided by compassion and adaptability—never pressure or expectation.
In addition to on-location storytelling sessions, Macarie also offers clean and classic black-and-white studio portraits. These timeless images highlight personality and connection with a refined simplicity that never goes out of style.
At My Special Interest, we don’t just take pictures—we honor stories, celebrate uniqueness, and create images that reflect the heart of your family.
