Kaylee + Carter Portraits - Baseball Central

Patrick Chondon October 30, 2022

It was that time of year for my annual session with Kaylee and Carter. This time around Lincoln and Vicki picked a slightly different location in Baseball Central. The main reason being for the nice fall colours surrounding the park, and secondly, because it has a lot of memories too.

Jamie + Cory Family Portraits - Centennial Park

Patrick Chondon August 26, 2019

What can I say about this amazing session. First of all, I absolutely love photographing kids. They just bring an energy that is not only infectious but also inspiring. Sophia and Teagan made me work for so many of the photos but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. They were running, laughing, falling, crying at certain points and just being crazy like kids are. The good thing about it was that it makes for extremely natural photos. I hope I helped tire them out just a little bit for bedtime.

Anna + John Family Portraits - Marina

Patrick Chondon December 10, 2017

It was a quick and somewhat cold session with Anna, John and their two boys, but we managed to come away with some really good photos, despite the weather. Even Owen and Nolan were great and very patient. As with most sessions in the winter on cold days, I did my best to keep everyone moving, not staying in one spot too long, yet not rushing anything. It helped that Anna and her family were great models. It just goes to show you, that despite the winter weather, there is no excuse not get out there and get some photos done!

Amy + Brad Family Portraits - Chippewa Park

Patrick Chondon October 13, 2017

I had the pleasure of photographing a new family a couple days ago at Chippewa Park. Amy, Brad, Jared and Beau were such an awesome family to photograph, I really hope I get to do it again next year. One of the main reasons I love family portrait sessions is admittedly the possibility of kids being present. They always have so much energy and emotion, and this session was no different.

Jennifer + Family Portraits

Patrick Chondon August 8, 2016

This past weekend I got the chance to photograph Jennifer and her daughter once again, along with her sister and their family as well. Just like last time we walked down to the neighbourhood playground and basically let the kids do their thing. They were both very easy going and extremely easy to photograph. I was also able to capture some great moments between the two of them.

ONWA Family Portraits

Patrick Chondon November 20, 2015

It was that time of year again when I got the chance to photograph 5 wonderful families at ONWA. For those of you that haven't seen any of my previous sessions with ONWA, I'll give some quick info on what ONWA is. It's a not for profit organization that was established in 1971 to empower and support Aboriginal women and their families throughout the province of Ontario.

So, about 3 times a year, they hire me to photograph any families that want to get their portrait done. That way, they eventually get the hi res photos that they can then get printed. It's really a great cause and every family I have photographed up until this point has been a pleasure to work with. There are almost always kids involved to which makes it that much more fun.

Allison + Family Portraits

Patrick Chondon September 7, 2015

One of the reasons I enjoy photography so much, especially portrait photography, is because I get to meet so many great families. You never know what to expect but I am always pleasantly surprised. My session with Allison and her family, was definitely no exception. Everyone was very easy going and the kids were just full of energy.

Pat + Anne Engagement - With a twist

Patrick Chondon January 26, 2015

This was a very unique engagement session, mainly because I didn't photograph it! What do you do when you are a photographer and you have no choice but to be in front of the camera? Well, you get your son to photograph it for you!

Heather + Family Fall Portraits

Patrick Chondon September 30, 2014

In what is now becoming a yearly tradition, I had the opportunity to once again photography Heather and her wonderful family. Having previously worked them on a couple occasions I had a good idea what to expect. But each year, it just gets more and more fun.

Albany + Sophie + Ziggy Portraits

Patrick Chondon June 27, 2014

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Albany, Sophie and the newest addition to the family … Ziggy. He is quite possibly one of the cutest puppies I have ever met. Plus, he was quite the little model. The location for this very fun photo shoot was at a park just off Valley Street.

ONWA Family Portraits - June 19th 2014

Patrick Chondon June 25, 2014

Once again it was that time of year to photograph some families for ONWA. This was my 5th time doing it and it wasn't any less fun. Seven families showed up this time and they were all very fun to photograph. The weather cooperated perfectly as well, it was a nice cool cloudy day which made for some perfect lighting.

It's all about family.

Patrick Chondon January 29, 2014

With another ONWA photography session this Thursday, I couldn't help but look back at all the photos from the previous three shoots. I decided to pick some of the photos that stood out for me.
