Jace's First Birthday - Cake Smash
The last time I had a photo session with Amy and David was when she was pregnant and that it was so much fun at the time. That very session she mentioned that she wanted to get some photos once their new addition arrived. Well, fast forward to a few days ago and it was already Jace's first birthday. Wow, how time flies! Amy decided to do a cake smash for his first birthday, and as you can tell from the photos below, Jace had a great time.

Before we got to the cake smash we got some family photos done. It was then off to Jace's bedroom where Amy did a fantastic job of decorating. She filled his crib with white and blue balloons. Once she put Jace in the crib he simply let loose. I just tried my best to keep up with him flinging balloons around and laughing.
It was then time for the final part of the session, the cake smash. I have done a few before and some kids almost need to be forced to get into the cake, but not Jace. Once he got going he didn't stop. Handful after handful he made quite the mess but it meant I got a lot of great photos. As you can see from one of the final shots, it was quite the aftermath. The cake just didn't stand a chance .
I always look forward to these kind of session because it is so spontaneous. Jace was the perfect model and he seemed to have such a great first birthday. I can't wait until the next session!
Amanda + Family Portraits
My latest portrait session was one of the most interesting ones of the season. It was another large family shoot with even more kids this time and even more energy! Sometimes I wish I could watch my shoots afterwards and see just how much running around I did. I’ll never complain though as the photos when you are on the go often turn into some of the best candid photos.

After getting some truly timeless photos with the old car we made our way to the huge backyard. Whenver the kids sit still for a few moments, which was rare, I was able to get some family photos. Then we would let them run around a bit and just be themselves. The resulting photos were some of my favourites. Especially the ones with the wagon. All in all it was joy to photograph Amanda and her family. The hour and half went by so quick it’s amazing I was able to come away with so many good photos.
Heather + Family Portraits
With the fall colours in full form, I travelled out to Cloud Lake Road for a fun filled family shoot. This time it was Heather and her family. It was a perfect location for some fall photos. They had a beautiful trail covered with leaves in their backyard and this is where we took most of the photos.

At first there was a bit of shyness from the kids but once they got going there was no stopping them. As always I had to do my best just to keep up with them. There were a few falls and tumbles but nothing would stop them from continuing to pose for the camera.
Thanks again to Heather and her wonderful family hiring me to take the photos. I had a great time and I’m extremely please how they turned out.
