London Ontario Couple Photography | Emily & John's Anniversary Session

Just over a year after their gorgeous FireRock Wedding, I had the pleasure of photographing Emily and John again (you can see a few clips in my promo video!) for a fun anniversary session. It’s always a blast to hang out with them, and this was no exception. Emily is a talented photographer/videographer, you can check out her work here!

London Ontario Photographer | Aimee's One-On-One Mentoring Session

I’ve been offering one-on-one mentoring sessions for other photographers on the down-lo for a little while. It’s not something I heavily advertise, but after being approached by several photographers regarding mentoring, I developed a few mentoring packages for those who are interested. I met my friend Aimee last year when she booked a mentoring session that included a shooting component as well as a follow up coffee date to go over any questions. We had amazing models and a gorgeous sunny evening that allowed us to focus on golden hour shooting and how to navigate the changing light from bright, hazy rays to that soft, warm glow right before sunset. We also chatted about posing and directing clients, how I like to draw out natural emotion and interactions from couples while shooting, and compared settings and framing as we worked. We even got to sneak in a sunset silhouette shot before heading out to chat about all of her questions - everything from my editing process, to how I structure pricing and mini sessions, to how I navigate difficult client situations and run my social media. Nothing was off limits. If there’s something I can share from my 9 year photography career that can help someone else, I’m an open book. :) I absolutely love chatting and connecting with other photographers, and Aimee has become a friend whose evolving style and growing business I have LOVED witnessing over the past 18 months or so. Do yourself a favour and check out her beautiful work here.

You can see some of the images I shot during our mentoring shoot below. If you’d like more info about the different one-on-one mentoring packages I offer, please don’t hesitate to reach out at sophie@rawfootagephotos.com, or by filling out the contact form.

London Ontario Maternity Photographer | Leah's Magnolia Blossom Maternity Session

My friend Leah is one of those people who, if you can believe it, is even more beautiful on the inside than on the outside. Here are a few favourites from her Magnolia Tree maternity session back in Spring 2017 (yes, that’s where I’m up to in my blogging. Oops!). Scroll to the bottom to see what we did when it got dark!

London Ontario Mini Sessions | Tree Farm Minis

I can’t believe it’s already time to start booking this year’s Tree Farm Minis, which means it’s also time to reminisce about last year’s sessions. I loved how cozy everyone got for these, so many knits and plaids and sweaters. I’m so looking forward to closing off another incredible season of shooting with these minis once again. Here are some of my favourites from 2017!
