I loved spending time with this fun-loving extended family for their woodsy session in the Westminster Ponds conservation area back in 2019. My favourite with these sessions is always documenting cousins playing and grandparents loving on their grandchildren. Lucky me, each of these individual families has since gone on to book family and newborn sessions, and I’ve had the joy of staying in touch and continuing to document their growing families.
I absolutely loved meeting this beautiful family on this sunny, snowy evening for their maternity/family session. Spoiler alert: the baby boys this gorgeous mama was carrying in these photos are cute as can be, and lucky me - I’ve had the pleasure of photographing them twice since!
I absolutely loved this extended family session. My favourite part? Ring Around The Rosy with Grandma and Grandpa! I’m so glad we captured so many fun candid and playful moments in addition to the many different posed groupings. Here are some favourites!
No one expected it would snow on the morning of this beautiful family’s Fall family session, but sure enough, the ground was covered in a sprinkling of snow, and it was just a bit chillier than we had hoped! But our positivity prevailed, and a little unexpected snow didn’t stop us from capturing some great family memories. Here are some favourites!
Fall is such a beautiful time for family photos. This was a chilly one, but the explosion of vibrant Fall colours provided a breathtaking backdrop for this sweet family.
I love photographing this beautiful family year after year! My loyal, repeat clients truly become a part of what I call my “Raw Footage Family”, and I am so so thankful for them! This year, we walked around Medway Heritage Forest on a beautiful Summer evening for some rock skipping and family snuggles.
Lots of candid family snuggles in tall grasses under a beautiful tree at golden hour - what more could you want? I loved this family session! Here are some favourites.
This was such a fun family session. With family sessions involving adult children, it can sometimes be challenging to draw out candid expressions and help clients settle into unfiltered interaction. You’re not going to have dads swinging kids around and moms scooping them up to smother them with kisses. It’s a different type of dynamic, and often the adult kids feel a little uncomfortable, at least at first, posing and emoting with their parents in front of a photographer. It can be tricky to take these sessions from the “stand together, look and smile” starting point into more meaningful territory. Over the years, I’ve learned how to connect with adult families on the fly through conversation, and how to identify their unique dynamic - all of which leads to capturing more natural interactions.
This family in particular was extremely close and comfortable with each other, and as a mama of two girls I was particularly inspired by the connection between sisters. I had a blast getting to know them as we walked through the woods, and they’ve since gone on to print a whole bunch of these images to hang on their walls, which makes me the happiest photographer. :) Here are some favourites from this family session!
