Tobin + Kristi Family Portraits - Centennial Park
I love photographing families, especially ones that I have been doing for a number of years now. Case in point, Kristi and Tobin and of course Hudson and Grace. It’s just so amazing seeing how fast the kids grow up and mature. Plus it helps that there is no adjustment period, everyone is just comfortable right off the bat.

This time around, we managed to find some time this past weekend at our favourite spot that we have used a couple times in the past, Centennial Park. It was the perfect day and weather for some fall portraits. As usual, we kept it super casual and kind of just went with the flow. Grace and Hudson were awesome models as usual. Although, I truly believe for every single photo, Hudson said ‘cheese’, which as very amusing. After getting some great shots at Centennial Park, we drove down the small park near the entrance captured some more photos on the river bank. Luckily the water wasn’t as high there compared to Centennial Park.
While we were there Grace showed me some more of her special poses and even a few dance moves. Hudson proved that he does have quite the throwing arm on him too.
Before we called it a day, we finished the session off on Cooke Street downtown, using the graffiti walls as a backdrop. It is one of my favourite areas in town and I was so excited when Tobin suggested it. They ended up being some of my favourite photos from the entire session.
It was a fitting end to a very fun session. As I am sure I have said after every session, I very much look forward to the next one!
Kristi + Tobin Family Portraits - Centennial Park
In reality, I have only been doing professional photography for about 6 years now. But in that time, I have had the chance to photograph families multiple times and Kristi and Tobin are one of those families. My favourite part of photographing the same family each year is that you get to see the kids grow up in the process. That, and it's that much more comfortable when you already know the family, especially the kids.

We chose Centennial Park for this session because it's Fall and the colours are just right. Plus, it's always a beautiful location to shoot portraits at. As I do with most of my portraits session, we set up for a few posed photos but the majority of the shots were just candid ones. where I simply let everyone interact and let the moments happen.
My favourite part of the session was when we finished off by the water. Those were definitely some of my favourite photos. I really can't wait until next years session!
Tobin + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
What another great session with Tobin, Kristi and their ever growing family. This was the second time using this specific location with them so I was anxious to get back there and capture some updated photos, especially with the new addition to the family. The tree farm is such a perfect location in that you can literally spend the whole session in spot if you really wanted to. Well, we made sure we moved around a bit so I think we came away with some great moments.

Admittedly, there aren't a lot of leaves at the tree farm but with that being said, there was still a lot of great 'colour' there. Plus, when you are right smack dab in the middle of these rows of huge trees, that's more then enough. Everyone had a great time during the session and we even managed to end it with some leaf throwing on the trail.
It was such a pleasure photographing Tobin and Kristi's family. Especially at such a wonderful location. I'm very much looking forward to our next session in the near future.
Tobin + Family Portraits
For the second year in a row I had the pleasure of photographing Tobin, Kristi and Grace. Last year we used Centennial Park as the location. This year, however, we chose to use the Tree Farm just on the outskirts of Thunder Bay.
For the second year in a row I had the pleasure of photographing Tobin, Kristi and Grace. Last year we used Centennial Park as the location. This year, however, we chose to use the Tree Farm just on the outskirts of Thunder Bay. I had recently visited this location and after seeing it for the first time I couldn’t wait to do a portrait session there. Especially around this time of year it’s absolutely perfect as the trees are changing colour and the leaves are falling.
Right off the bat I couldn’t believe how much bigger Grace got! She was off to the races as soon as she stepped out of the vehicle. I basically spend the next hour chasing her around and getting some really nice candid shots. She did settle down here and there to pose with her mom and dad which was great. She really was the perfect little model. The best part was that she had these boots on that squeaked so even though the tree farm was quite big, there was never any fear of losing her.
We got some nice photos in the high grass, there were some encounters with dogs, we checked out the creek area and the last part of the session ended with a whole lot of leaves being thrown around. Those were some of my favourite shots of the day. Thanks again to Toby, Kristi and Grace for letting me be part of an amazing day. I can’t wait to see how much bigger Grace gets next year!
