Lucas Birthday Portraits at Centennial Park
I have done birthday portraits of Lucas for a number of years now and each time has been a lot of fun. He has so much character and personality that I have always come away with good moments. This year it was just him, his mom and grandma. It as a nice intimate fall session. Upon greeting Lucas at the start of the session he was all smiles but that quickly when away.
Shelly + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
I was so happy when Shelly asked if I could do another family session with them, this time at Centennial Park which is of course always beautiful. The session was actually a Christmas present for her Mom. I had photographed her and the family before so I knew that it would be fun and relaxed time. As I always do, we just walked and stopped along the way getting a mix of candid and posed photos. Shelly and Jason had some great ideas for portraits too which is always welcome.
Dany + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
I had an amazing 30 minute session with Dany and her family this past weekend at Centennial Park. Even though it was a short session I laughed so much during the entirety of it. Everyone had such a good time and I think that came through in the photos.
Brenden + Anika Family Portraits - Centennial Park
My latest portrait session took place at Centennial Park with Brenden, Anika and their little girl, Delilah. It was a very relaxed session and I was amazed at how calm Delilah was in from of the camera. She was actually the perfect little model. As were Brended and Anika, who I hardly had to tell what to do.
Patrick + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
My session of the weekend took place this past Friday at Centennial Park with Patrick and his family. In all, there were 5 families members including Patrick, and they were all extremely fun to photograph. The weather was beautiful and the sun was behind the clouds for the most part, so it was the perfect setting for an hour long family session.
Vicki + Lincoln Family Portraits - Centennial Park
My second session with Vicki and her family was at Centennial Park this time. It was a mini-session just like last time at the Marina and this one went by just as fast. We started by the playground at Centennial Park and slowly worked our way around it. The whole session had a great flow to it and of course, Lincoln and Vicki were the perfect helpers.
Sophie + Caleb Engagement - Centennial Park
We have been so lucky with the weather lately and this past Saturday was no exception. It couldn't have been a nicer day to do an engagement session with Sophie and Caleb. I will be photographing their wedding next May but they wanted to be sure to get some engagement photos done well before the wedding. The location they chose was Centennial Park which is very convenient as they live right down the street.
Lucas' 2nd Birthday - Centennial Park
Centennial Park was the setting for yet another memorable session with Carol and her family. This was the second year in a row that we celebrated Lucas and his birthday. This time around he was turning 2. I still can't believe just how big he has gotten since one year ago. Whereas, the last time we did this, we were able to just plop him where we wanted and shoot away. This time around he was a lot more mobile, obviously walking and sometimes running on his own.
Rochelle + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
Centennial Park was the location of yet another great photo session, this time with Rochelle and her family. With the fall colours slowly coming in we found some great spots that took advantage of that. After getting a few family shots right by the park we eventually made our way to the barn area. The horses were out, along with the chickens and pigs. Anytime animals are involved I always like to try and let the family interact for a short while, and catching candids along the way.
Mariam + Hassanali Family Portraits - Centennial Park
This past Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing some old friends and their visiting family at Centennial Park. I've known Mariam and Hassanali for a few years now and when they called me out of the blue to do some portraits the following day, I jumped at the chance. It was a very quick turnaround seeing as how their relatives were only in town for a couple days so we booked the session for 8:00 on a Saturday morning and the that was that.
Alisha + Derek Family Portraits
It had been a while since I last saw Alisha and Derek, their wedding to be exact. Well, when Derek called me up to do a portrait session with him and his family I couldn't wait. The occasion this time around was his mom's birthday so what better reason then that! It was fitting that this particular session was once again at Centennial seeing as how I originally did the engagement session there as well.
Lucas' 1st Birthday + Cake Smash
This past Saturday I had the opportunity to photography Carol and her family again. Whereas last year we focused on the entire family, this time around it was a special occasion. Lucas just turned 1, so they decided they wanted to do a cake smash! This was my first cake smash so I really couldn't wait.
April + Family Portraits
I recently had the opportunity to do another photo session at Centennial Park. This time around it was with April and her wonderful family! Luckily the leaves still had some colour to them so we were able to get a lot of vibrant shots.
Katrina + Lucas Engagement
My first engagement session of the season was quite a very fun one. Katrina and Lucas approached me to get some engagement photos done in time for the wedding next year. We decided on Centennial Park which as I have mentioned before, is always a great venue to photography a couple.
Amy & Family Portraits
This marked the second year in a row that I had the pleasure to photograph Amy and her wonderful family. Originally we planned on doing the session at 11:00 in the morning but after seeing the weather forecast calling for -40 degree weather, we pushed it back to the afternoon. Luckily we did because once 3:00 pm came around it was still quite cold. This made for a challenging but very fun photo shoot!
Katrina + Family Portraits
It was time for yet another family fall portrait session. After quite a bit of back and forth Katrina and I were finally able to nail down a date! Centennial Park was once again the destination. I have shot here on many occasions and I am often asked if it gets boring to always photograph at the same location. My answer is always no.
Daniel + Erica Wedding
Once again I had the pleasure shooting another wedding at a brand new location. This time around it was the Thunder Bay Marina. Daniel and Erika were the lucky couple. With the sleeping giant in the background, it was the perfect setting for a wedding. Everyone gathered around the flowers and waited for Erika too make her way down the pathway with her father. It gave me a chance to get some great candid shots of all the guests.
Kristi + Family Portraits
It seems as though summer took forever to get here and who knows how long this hot weather is going to last. So, Krisi and her whole family took advantage and we had a wonderful photo session at Centennial Park. Even at 6:30 it was still quite hot but we managed to bear the heat, find some shade and come away with some truly fun and candid photos.
Anne + Family Portraits
Leah + Family Portraits
Centennial Park was the setting for my most recent photo session. Leah, Stephen and their family decided to take take advantage of my Fall Portrait Special. They were leaving to fly back to Vancouver the next day so everyone was hoping for a good day of weather. We got what we wished for because it was cool, cloudy and most importantly, it didn’t rain!
