Makaila + Family Portraits - Cascades
I’ve stopped counting how many sessions I have done with Makaila and Lucas over the years, which is a good thing. As each year passes, Lucas keeps growing and getting more and more of a personality. He ran the show once again this time, as we were back again at Cascades.

I let him direct some poses, he had ideas of his own and of course, we all had fun doing so. The weather was absolutely perfected the fall colours were in full effect.
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.

We of course got photos of everyone, as it wasn’t just about Lucas. The backdrop was the stunning Cascades. I’m shocked that I don’t do more sessions here. It really is a crime. The fall colours looked absolutely amazing.
Now I just have to wait until next year to see Lucas and everyone else again. I can’t wait!
Makaila + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
One of my favourite families to photograph has got to be Makaila. I feel like I have grown up with Lucas over the years, ever since capturing his first birthday. He is now 5 years old, and has so much personality. It’s so nice to see. Plus, we are at the point now where everyone just shows up and we do the session, because of the comfort level. It was an extremely relaxed and fun session, as always.

Makaila + Sean Engagement - Thunder Bay Tree Farm
I have been photographing Makaila and her family for the past 4 years, so when she asked me to capture her engagement session I simply couldn’t wait to do so. I’m so thankful to be a part of the next step in their life. Plus, I know it’s always a fun time. I was excited to see Lucas come along as well as their dog Bear, who is so handsome and friendly. So, even though it was an engagement session, it was kind of a family shoot as well which was nice.

We chose the Tree Farm for the location which is always a good choice. This time of year can sometimes result in wet conditions but it was actually really nice out there. All in all it was super fun session with a lot of great little moments. They were usually centred around Lucas who is always a character.
I’m very much looking forward to Lucas’s next birthday session and of course the Makaila and Sean’s wedding coming up in the not so distant future.
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.

Since there were a few more people this time around we focused on getting a lot of family portraits first and then it was time to focus on Lucas. Right from the get go he was running around. I couldn't believe how much he was moving around, especially compared to just a year ago. I don't think he cried once either and he was the perfect little poser.
Ask we have done the previous 2 years, Makaila brought some balloons. Near the end of the session, she gave them to Lucas, who of course eventually let go of them and watched as they sailed into the sky above.
It's so rewarding seeing families like Makaila's each year and watching their son Lucas grow up. I look forward to each and every session and I can't wait until next years.
