Kathleen + Lucas Wedding - The Centennial Conservatory
Kathleen and Lucas invited me to capture their wedding ceremony and some photos afterwards at the Thunder Bay Conservatory. Anytime I get to shoot there, it makes me so happy. It’s such a beautiful location. It also helped that Kathleen and Lucas were an equally beautiful couple.
Makaila + Family Portraits - Cascades
I have been pretty much growing up alongside Lucas, which is why I once again photographed him for his birthday. Each year he gets bigger and bigger, and even funnier. This time around he was going on and on about his Halloween costume, which is a banana. I guess it’s a Fortnite thing, which I know nothing about.
Lucas Birthday Portraits at Centennial Park
I have done birthday portraits of Lucas for a number of years now and each time has been a lot of fun. He has so much character and personality that I have always come away with good moments. This year it was just him, his mom and grandma. It as a nice intimate fall session. Upon greeting Lucas at the start of the session he was all smiles but that quickly when away.
Lucas' 4th Birthday - Tree Farm
One of the best things about being a photographer, at least for me, is creating relationships with families over the years, and seeing how quickly the children grow up. Case in point, Lucas is already 4 years old, and it truly seems like yesterday that I was photographing him on his 1st birthday. That first session was essentially propping him up on a chair and trying to capture photos before he started losing interest. This session, is now running in behind him trying to get him to settle down and pose for a few seconds.
Makaila + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
This past Saturday marked the third time photographing Makaila and her family. Each time it was to celebrate Lucas's birthday. With the past couple sessions it has always been the immediate family, so I was quite shocked when I saw about 20 people ready to take photos. It turns out, they invited the extended family for portraits as well. This was completely fine with me and the more the merrier. It was actually great meeting some of their extended family, especially their grandmother.
Lucas' 2nd Birthday - Centennial Park
Centennial Park was the setting for yet another memorable session with Carol and her family. This was the second year in a row that we celebrated Lucas and his birthday. This time around he was turning 2. I still can't believe just how big he has gotten since one year ago. Whereas, the last time we did this, we were able to just plop him where we wanted and shoot away. This time around he was a lot more mobile, obviously walking and sometimes running on his own.
