Tyra + Hayden + Jayme - Jumbo Gardens
Jumbo Gardens was once again the location for my latest portrait session. The last time I was here it was Fall time, but this time around winter was in full swing which meant a totally different setting.

Tyra, Hayden and Jaime joined me this time around. Because they close friends I have had the opportunity to photograph Jaime here in there but not really for a prolonged period of time. So when I had an hour with the entire family, including their dogs, Mack and Diesel, I was super excited.
It's always a challenge to do a family shoot when dogs are involved but luckily in this case, both of them are well trained. It took some patience but they always eventually posed for us. Jaime, as usual, was a natural behind the camera. He played by his own rules but we managed to get him to stop talking and stand still for moments at a time.
All in all it was a very fun session with a wonderful back drop. I think everyone had fun even though we had to trudge through the snow. My favourite photo of the day was when Max and Diesel patiently and anxiously waited to be untied from the tree.
Amy + David Portraits
Last year I had the pleasure of photographing Amy and David's wedding. It was such a blast. I then got to work with Amy on a gorgeous wedding album. Just as we were finishing that up she mentioned that she wanted to get some portrait photos while she was pregnant. Well, fast forward to last weekend and that is exactly what we did. The backdrop was Jumbo Gardens which is a not so well known place in Port Arthur. Even around this time of year with most of the colours gone, it is still a fantastic place to take photos. There are lots of nice trails and trees there.

Along with Amy and David, we had another member of the family joining us, Oliver. I don't think he stopped running the entire time we were there. But, when it was time for a photo he ran up on cue and posed for the camera every time. It was actually quite amazing.
This session was a lot of fun as I knew it would be. Amy and David are extremely easy going and awesome to work with. We did some serious photos as well as some playful ones as you can see from the set below. One of my favourite photos of the session was one of the last ones. As we were walking back to the parking lot I noticed a big hole in one of the fences. So, I got Amy to stand behind it and pretend her pregnant stomach somehow burst through the fence. It is kind of a silly photo but those spontaneous one are sometimes a lot of fun.
Thank you to Amy and David for another great time taking photos. I can't wait to potentially photograph the new addition to the family.
