Eden + Chris Family Session
Eden + Chris are another family that I have been photographing for a very long time. I really can’t put into words how fun it is to capture memorable moments each year. Especially at their property in the country which is always an adventure.
Eden + Chris Family Portraits
My afternoon session today took me all the way out to Kakabeka to photograph Eden and her family on their property. It was great to once again be out there as it’s been over a year since the last time. She said there were a couple suprises for me when I arrived so I was curious as to what that could be. Well … it turns out they now have 13 week old twin boys and a second dog!
Hannah + Chris Family Session
My first time meeting Hannah and Chris was during their maternity session last year. Fast forward to this year, and it was time for a family get together to celebrate their wedding. It was awesome seeing their newest addition to the family as well as the rest of their family, this time around. I had a great time capturing a mix of posed and mostly candid photos.
Eden + Chris Family Portraits
My second session out at Eden and Chris’s house in the country was so much fun. This time around they had a new puppy and even some rabbits, which we took advantage of near the end of the shoot. It doesn’t get much cuter than that!
Hannah + Chris Maternity Session
Chris decided to do the session at his grandparents’ property, which ended up being an absolutely amazing backdrop. I also got to meet their dog Indy, who reminded me so much of our dog Bea. Such a personality. As you would imagine, the photos turned out perfect, which is almost impossible when you a have a beautiful couple like Hannah and Chris.
Eden + Chris Family Portraits - Kakabeka Falls
I’ve lost track how many times I have photographed Eden and Chris, but each time I do, it’s even better than the last. Add in the fact that they now have an absolutely beautiful house in Kakabeka Falls, which is simply amazing. Their son Orson, just keeps getting bigger and bigger. He pretty much dictated the whole session, which I’m completely fine with.
Eden + Chris Family Portraits
I originally photographed Eden and Chris’s Wedding a few years back and then a portrait session a couple years ago as well. It was time for yet another portrait session and I couldn’t wait to see then again. Every time I have photographed them in the past it’s been such a great time. This session was no different. The hour went by so fast I could hardly believe it. I’m so glad the weather held up too, it was perfect overcast and not too hot.
Rheana + Chris New Years Eve Wedding
What can I say about my last wedding of the year. It was epic. I started at 11:00am and didn’t end until after 12:00am. It was actually my very first New Years wedding and it will always be one I remember. Many of you might think that is a long day but it went by so fast because it was just so much fun. I’m so happy Rheana and Chris invited me into their lives one day and allowed me to capture one of the most important day of their lives.
Eden + Chris Portraits - Current River Park
Back in 2015 I photographed Eden and Chris's wedding at Current River Park so it was only fitting that Eden suggested we do the portrait session there. This time around they had a new addition to the family and they also brought their dog as well. I had my hands full for sure but it ended up being such a fun and spontaneous session. The weather couldn't have been better and Eden and Chris where completely natural in front of the camera. I'm very much looking forward to a future session in the near future!
Shannon + Chris Wedding - River Valley Farm
Chris for the day. I had already photographed them a year earlier for their engagement photos at Lakehead University. Before we got the wedding site at River Valley Farm, my day started with the bridal party getting their hair and makeup done at La Moda.
Upon arrival, I immediately had my camera in hand and weaved my way in and out of the girls getting ready. Luckily, La Moda, is fairly spacious which allowed me to get some good angles and moments of the girls. After about 15 minutes or so, I then made my way across town to Fort William where the boys were gathered. They were already dressed so I just did my best to capture some of the interaction between all of them. I had about 15 minutes to work with again and I think I got some pretty cool shots.
Jesalynn + Chris Wedding - Fort William Historical Park
Jesalynn and Chris celebrated their wedding just under a month ago and I was lucky enough to be chosen to photograph it. My day started at the Lakehead Unitarian Fellowship Church which is where the ceremony took place. It's a very small church but it was the perfect venue for an intimate wedding. It was a also a great place to photograph a ceremony because it had huge a lot of windows that let in a ton of natural light, which made for some good dramatic shots.
Shannon + Chris Portraits - Lakehead Trail
I just recently started offering a Mini Session, which you can find on my pricing page. It's basically aimed at those families or couples that just need 20 or so photos during a 30 minute session. Shannon and Chris decided to do one and it was a lot of fun. Shannon recommended the Lakehead University trail and it was such a perfect choice. The funny thing is, is that I live just down the street and this was my first portrait session there.
Eden + Chris Wedding Portraits - Current River Park
Eden and Chris decided to get married at City Hall with just a small gathering of family members. So they decided to hire me for an hour to take all the family portraits. Usually my wedding days are fairly long but this was a nice change seeing as how I just focused on the portrait session of the wedding. We decided to use Current River Park as the setting which was a great choice. It was yet another beautiful day so the weather couldn't have been any better.
Chellsea + Chris Wedding
It was yet another beautiful day for a wedding. This time around it was Chris and Chellsea getting married. The ceremony was the first thing on the agenda and it took place at the Slovak Legion in the east end of Thunder Bay. This is yet another location I have never photographed at so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. It ended up being perfect for a ceremony. It took place indoors but it was in a room on the side of the hall with a lot of skylights which allowed for tons of natural light.
Chellsea + Chris Engagement
For Chellsea and Chris’s engagement photos we chose Boulevard Lake. It’s a great location as it has an infinite amount of places to stop and take photos. The weather was somewhat windy and over cast but this kind of weather is actually ideal for photos. (well minus the wind).
