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!

Kanisha + Family Portraits - Centennial Park

My first session at Centennial Park was the perfect way to start the day. I had so much fun photographing Kanisha and her family. Eva was so cute, and she had so much personality. We ended up using the side trail at the park, which was a nice change of scenery. As you can see, Fall is definitely here. Hopefully it stays around a while, because it’s the perfect backdrop for these portrait sessions.

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.

There was a really field out where they lived that we immediately took advantage of. After that we simply wandered around and I captured a mix of posed and candid photos. All my sessions are so laid back and I think that really speaks to the authenticity of what I do. It also helps when you have people like Eden and Chris to photography.

The only question is how soon I can photograph them again!

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!

Hassanali + Family Portraits - Loon Lake

This past weekend marked the second time I had the pleasure to photograph Hassanali and his family. The first time I did so was a couple years ago and took place at Centennial Park. For this particular session, they were renting out a cottage on Loon Lake, so it was the perfect location. 

Just like last time, Hassanali had some of this family visiting it from the States as well as overseas. Seeing as how the cottage was very beautiful, I decided to use it as a backdrop. Plus, it was the only real shade so it made perfect sense. Everyone was so much fun and natural to photograph that it really made my job super easy. I even got a couple suggestions here and there for poses or spots to use, and I am always open to that. 

The majority of the session was spent capturing the different combinations for family photos but I was able to sneak in a few candid shots as well. All in all, it was a pleasure spending an hour of my time with Hassanali and their family, and I think the photos reflect just how great of a time everyone had!
