So many of my favourite things collided for this fun family beach session. An empty beach? At golden hour? With a friend and her gorgeous family? And so many fun, candid moments to document? YES PLEASE. Saleme is such a beautiful person inside and out. She has assisted me with weddings here and there and is an amazing photographer herself (her brand/product styling photography is perfection). I really loved photographer her family and am sharing some favourites on the blog today!
Ahhh, Spring Blossoms. The thing we photographers look forward to and dread, fawn over and despise. We love them, they are gorgeous and make for the dreamiest backdrop. They are also fickle, unpredictable, fragile and in high demand (picture 5 photographers huddling around the same Magnolia tree). But at the end of the day, we just can’t get enough of these beautiful blooms.
Today I’m looking back on last year’s Spring Minis, which coincided with the Magnolia blooms. (They don’t always, sometimes our date coincides with crabapple blossoms or redbuds - also gorgeous!)
I’ll be emailing everyone on my Mini Session Advance Notice List this afternoon (to get on the list, email sophie@rawfootagephotos.com, subject line: Mini Session Advance Notice) with info on the upcoming 2020 Spring Minis. Once the advance notice list gets first dibs, any remaining spots will be released over on the booking page until they are sold out.
It might be -15 degrees and snowy outside today, but Spring is right around the corner, pals! :)
I feel like a broken record saying this, but it is truly such an honour when another photographer trusts me with the task of photographing them. Randy and eileen (who prefers her name spelled with a lower case ‘e’, in case anyone thought I was consistently forgetting to capitalize it. ;) ) are an amazing husband and wife photography/videography team here in London, and I’ve loved getting to know them. These photos were meant to be branding photos for their new website, as well as document their sweet family. I’m sharing some favourites from their lifestyle branding session on the blog today!
I have always loved in-home lifestyle sessions. They are popular as newborn sessions, but I love photographing families at all stages of life, playing and snuggling together in their cozy homes. This family in particular holds a special place in my heart. Meg was my midwife (twice!) and it is always such a joy to see her and her beautiful family again. This in-home session was so much fun, and the perfect mix of playful and snuggly. Here are some favourites from their shoot!
I loved this fun downtown session! Call the Office is such a meaningful place for Heather and Eric and the story of their relationship, so it was great to incorporate it into their downtown family shoot. They definitely came dressed to match their cool surroundings, and it was such a blast to hang out with them. Heather is a fellow photographer that has been a mentor and dear friend to me, and it’s always an honour when I have the opportunity to help her document her own beautiful family. Here are some favourites from this session!
Tree Farm Minis open up for booking to the advance notice list tomorrow, which means it’s time to look back on last year’s sessions. I love these festive minis, and as always they will be the last minis of the year! Booking will open up for the public on the booking page on September 16th.
This is the second blog post in a row that showcases a fun but chilly early Winter session that started outdoors and ended at the local greenhouse where we could warm up and take advantage of the beautiful lush backdrop. Parkway Garden Centre is one of my favourite places (both to shop and browse AND to shoot!) and they are always so gracious in letting us in to shoot when it’s chilly or raining! Here are some favourites from a shoot that started at a train bridge and ended at Parkway, and featured an adorable baby girl and her gorgeous dog sibling, too!
I loved photographing this gorgeous family. I had the pleasure of documenting Brian and Kristy’s engagement and wedding and meeting their little guy when he was just a baby himself. Now he’s a big brother, and I got to meet his little sister who is every bit as sweet as he is. It was a cold, snowy day, but we managed some lovely field photos before heading to a nearby greenhouse for shelter, warmth, and another beautiful backdrop.
I loved meeting and photographing sweet baby Nate. I had the pleasure of meeting his lovely family for their maternity/family session, and got to see them all again a little while after this shoot for a fun family beach session. Here are some favourites from this in-home newborn lifestyle session (How sweet is Nate’s proud big sister?!).
Sweet Baby Max is on the blog today! I had the pleasure of photographing his big brother’s newborn lifestyle session not too long before this, and it was such a joy to be invited back into this beautiful family’s home again to celebrate their newest arrival. Here are some favourites!
