DefSup RetroGraduate X2 Exhibition
I had the pleasure of capturing the recent RetroGraduate X2 Exhibition at Definitely Superior Art Gallery this past weekend. It was comprised of artworks from the Major Studio Graduates of 2019 and 2020 from a four year period of their program
Chad + Family Portraits
My latest portrait session with Chad and his family took place on John Street Road at their home. It was a nice change to have a session at a family home, then one of the usual locations in town. We started inside their beautiful home for a mix of candid and posed photos by the fireplace. For the last half of the session we ventured outside. Once outside, it gave the kids a chance to really be themselves, which I loved!
Torin + Laurisa Portraits - Jumbo Gardens
I’ve been doing a lot of mini sessions at the Tree Farm and Centennial Park over the past couple months. So when Torin contacted me for some portraits with him and his girlfriend Laurisa, I suggested Jumbo Gardens. It’s a place I often take our dog Bea to walk around. I’ve been meaning to use it for a portrait session, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity.
Laura + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
It was a little chilly, the rain was starting to come down, but that didn’t stop Laura and her family from pushing through the session at the Tree Farm this past weekend! I’m so glad they did, as the photos turned out amazing. I love shooting extended family sessions like this one.
Jennifer + Family Portraits
It’s always nice when families book me for a session after getting a gift certificate from a previous client. That was exactly the case with Jennifer and her family this past weekend. They chose the field beside Confederation College and it was the perfect location. I never thought to use it before, but I think I will be doing so again in the near future.
Stacey + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
Here are some highlights from another session this weekend at the Tree Farm. It was my first time photographing Stacey and her family, and I’m hoping I get to do so again in the near future!
Kelly + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
I had such a fun time capturing a mix of candid and posed photos of Kelly and her extended family at the Tree Farm this weekend. Anytime there are kids involved, I know there will be some cute moments. As you can see from the highlights, there were plenty!
Anika + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
I have photographed Anika and her family more than a few times over the years, and each time, I’m amazed at quickly Will and Abby are growing up. It’s an ongoing joke that Will has endless energy each session, and I just have to try to keep up with him. This time around, it was no exception. I wouldn’t have it any other way though!
Ange + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
I still can’t believe how nice out it was this past weekend. It honestly felt like spring. Even though it was extremely last minute, I managed to book a few mini sessions with families. It’s always nice meeting new families that I haven’t photographed before, and that was exactly the case with Ange and her family.
Amy + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
Luckily winter hasn’t full arrived yet, so that meant it was a relatively warm session with Amy and her family at Centennial Park earlier this week. We did have grand plans of recreating photos of when the kids were much smaller but that didn’t quite work out. Her two youngest were quite shy and not particularly up for photos.
Jessica + Liam Portraits - Tree Farm
I had the pleasure of photographing Jessica and Liam’s wedding last year, which was such a great time. Fast forward to this past weekend, and I joined them for a portrait session at the Tree Farm. It was also an opportunity to announce and celebrate Jessica’s pregnancy.
Jacqueline + Jake Wedding
My last wedding of the year was such an amazing way to end the season. It was another intimate backyard ceremony, with close friends and relatives. As I mentioned before, if there is a bright side to the current restrictions, it’s that I get to do a lot more of these small weddings, which I absolutely love.
Amy + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
Last week I photographed David’s side of the family over at the Tree Farm, and it was a super fun session. This time around, we choose Centennial Park, to capture Amy’s side of the family. It was equally as fun, if not a little bit colder. Regardless, everyone had a great time and I once again, ended up with a good mix of posed and candid photos. What a beautiful family!
Leah + Barrett Portraits - Centennial Park
It’s always nice doing portraits for people I have worked with in the past, on a professional level. Leah is a local business owner and she wanted some family portraits. I got to meet her wonderful husband Barrett. They were such a lovely couple to spend a chilly but beautiful afternoon with. The last few shots on the rapids were definitely my favourites, as the snow just started to really come down.
Joelle + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
My fall mini sessions are now turning into winter sessions, but luckily the weather is still holding up, even if it is quite a bit colder. Joelle and her two children joined me for a session this past weekend and it was blast. Her son was pretty shy, but he warmed up to photos near then end!
Jake + Journee Portraits - Tree Farm
I really can’t wait to photograph Jake and Journee’s wedding in a couple years! It’s still a long way off, so I was happy when they asked me to do a portrait session with them. The session we did last year, also had snow on the same day. It all worked out though, as it make the tree farm even prettier.
Amy + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
I am really going to miss this fall weather once it’s gone. I have been having such an amazing time photographing different families over the past 2 months. I can already see the frost on the ground in the mornings, and most of the leaves falling. But, that also means winter will soon be here, and along with it, a totally different look!
Tammy + Mike Portraits - Tree Farm
Some highlights from my mini session with Tammy, Mike and their two beautiful dogs.
Matt + Family Portraits - Squaw Bay
My latest mini session was with Matt and his family at Squaw Bay . It’s located on Fort William First Nation, and really is a hidden gem. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement for the overall area, but the backdrop is simply one of the best in the city. Luckily, I had an equally beautiful family to capture.
Desiree + Nathan Portraits - Chippewa Park
Instead of my recent locations like the Tree Park and Centennial, it felt good getting out for a session at Chippewa Park. Desiree, Nathan and their two beautiful girls were so much fun to photograph. Even though it was quite chilly out, they were all up for the challenge, and the photos turned out great!
