Tyra + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
I ended the weekend with another family portrait session, but in this case it was actually family. Tyra and her family are very close and I have been photographing them casually over the years. This time around, Tyra decided to make it a formal portrait session at the Tree Farm so that's where we did it, and it was super fun. Not only did we have the youngest one there Jaime, Tyra also brought her to 'not small' dogs. We definitely had our work cut out for us but I think I was able to come away with some really good photos.

Of course, about 5 minutes in, Jaime decided to fall down in a puddle of mud. At least he got that out of the way. It wouldn't have been a true portrait session with out at least one kid getting dirty. The Tree Farm is always a good location because it's just a nice casual walk and there are unique spots to stop along the way. With and hour to work with, we were never felt rushed, although it was getting dark kind of fast, especially with all the tall trees.
As you would expect from photographing family everyone was comfortable and I think it shows in the photos. It was definitely a good way to end a busy weekend of photos! I think I will be photographing Cora's 40th birthday this weekend which is going be a Mad Hatter party. Stay tuned for those photos!
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.
