Precious + AJ Family Session - Centennial Park
I decided to take advantage of this warmer winter weather with a mini session out at Centennial Park. AJ + Precious joined me for a mini session with their newest addition to the family. I hadn’t photographed them since their wedding over a year ago, so it was great to see them again, along with AJ’s parents!
Scott + Katherine Family Portraits - Thunder Bay Marina
It seems like forever since I last photographed Scott and Katherine so I was super excited to do a mini session with them at the marina a couple weeks ago. I also got to meet their newest addition to the family. Such a great time!
Nathan + Family Portraits - Centennial Conservatory
For my recent family session were did a mix of indoors and outdoors. The location of choice was the Centennial Conservatory, which is one of the nicest indoor spots in town. After capturing some photos with the beautiful backdrop inside, we finished off with some nice winter shots in the snow outside.
Shannon + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
It was a very snowy but extremely fun session this afternoon with Shannon and her family. It felt good to get out and capture some great moments with everyone!
Cheyanne + Jason Wedding - Fort William Historical Park
My last wedding of the year was definitely one to remember and a fitting end to a crazy and fun year. Cheyanne and Jason had their wedding at Fort William Historical Park, which, as I mentioned on many occasions, is one of the most beautiful locations in town.
Tiffany + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
My session today with Tiffany and her family was absolutely perfect on all levels. It wasn’t too cold out, large fluffy snowflakes were falling down, and Tiffany and everyone else, were a blast to photography. They all had endless energy and it really did show in every photo I took. It definitely made my job super easy.
Brooke + Brandon Wedding
Technically, I did photograph Brooke and Brandon’s wedding. I captured the hour after their wedding, at a friends home. Either way, I was so happy to be a part of their wedding day. Plus, I think I got the best of the day, where all the pressure was off and they could just relax and chill out with their closest family.
Kim + Jeff Family Portraits
It wasn’t very long ago that I did Fall portraits with Kim and her family Fast forward to a few months later, and their mom wanted to get some family photos too. This time around, there was snow on the ground and also falling down majestically. It made for the perfect weather. I always love photographing Kim and her family, and this session was no different!
Chad + Family Portraits
My latest portrait session with Chad and his family took place on John Street Road at their home. It was a nice change to have a session at a family home, then one of the usual locations in town. We started inside their beautiful home for a mix of candid and posed photos by the fireplace. For the last half of the session we ventured outside. Once outside, it gave the kids a chance to really be themselves, which I loved!
Joelle + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
My fall mini sessions are now turning into winter sessions, but luckily the weather is still holding up, even if it is quite a bit colder. Joelle and her two children joined me for a session this past weekend and it was blast. Her son was pretty shy, but he warmed up to photos near then end!
Jake + Journee Portraits - Tree Farm
I really can’t wait to photograph Jake and Journee’s wedding in a couple years! It’s still a long way off, so I was happy when they asked me to do a portrait session with them. The session we did last year, also had snow on the same day. It all worked out though, as it make the tree farm even prettier.
Fort William Historical Park - Family Day 2020
It was such an amazing Family Day at Fort William Historical Park. Even though there were a lot of different events going on for Family Day throughout the city, we decided to spend most of our time at the park and it was well worth it. I couldn’t get over all the amazing activities that happened throughout the day. We spent about 3 hours walking around.
Brandon + Anna Wedding - Fort William Historical Park
My last wedding of 2019 took place at Fort William Historical Park. I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful location to end such an amazing year. Once I arrived I met up with Brandon and some of the wedding party at the main entrance. We hopped on the shuttle bus that eventually took us to the park, which is where everything was taking place. Once we got there, Anna arrived, and we made our way in. After gathering everyone in the wedding party and the immediate family, we continued on and photographed all the portraits.
Bianca + Family Portraits - Thunder Bay Marina
The weather was actually quite warm this past weekend so it was perfect timing for my family portrait session with Bianca and her family. We started by the boat docks and worked our way around the Marina. It’s so nice just keeping portrait sessions casual. Bianca and her family said they hadn’t gotten family portraits for a long long time so they were well overdue! Who knows, maybe it will become an annual thing!
Wolfy's 7th Annual Pond Cup
I’m very disappointed that I have missed out on the Wolfy’s Cup - Pond Cup for six years. I guess it’s better late than never. To be fair, the first time I heard about it was last year so there’s that. Regardless, having made it out to this years version, I’m just glad I finally got to photograph it. Westfort Productions was hosting this years event and they were also filming it. If you haven’t already, check out their video from last years event. They did an amazing job.
I simply volunteered my services the day before the event on Friday of this week. I saw it listed on Facebook as an upcoming event, and I knew I wasn’t doing anything on Saturday so it was a no brainer. Plus, I wanted to see for myself what it was all about. After getting a response pretty quickly, the organizer was totally up for me covering some of the day.
Rheana + Chris New Years Eve Wedding
What can I say about my last wedding of the year. It was epic. I started at 11:00am and didn’t end until after 12:00am. It was actually my very first New Years wedding and it will always be one I remember. Many of you might think that is a long day but it went by so fast because it was just so much fun. I’m so happy Rheana and Chris invited me into their lives one day and allowed me to capture one of the most important day of their lives.
Ashlyn + Family Portraits
My last portrait session of 2018 was one to remember. I think it will go down as the largest hour family session I have ever done, ever. It was Ashlyn’s Dad’s 80th birthday so the whole family was there, and it was so great to see. I laughed because it was almost like an assembly line when we were in the backyard. I would photograph one family and the next would be waiting to go next. I am no way complaining, and I just loved how efficient and organized Ashlyn and her family were. It could have easily taken 1 hour to just get all the groupings done but we did in a little over a half hour.
Desi + Jinelle Wedding - Tony + Adams
It’s not often you get to photograph your best friends wedding, especially one which you’ve known for over 30 years. That’s exactly what happened earlier this month when I had the pleasure of capturing Desi and Jinelle’s wedding at Tony and Adams. I have known Desi since elementary school and we have stayed close since then. So when he asked me to photograph his marriage to Jinelle, it was a no brainer and I felt honoured to do so.
Leshya Family Portraits - Tree Farm
Winter is quickly becoming my favourite time of year for portrait sessions. It’s hard not to like it when you get to spend an hour at the snowy tree farm with a family like Leshya’s. Here parents were visiting from out of town for a short while so we planned this session over a month ago to make sure we can get some portraits of everyone. Plus, Leshya is 8 months pregnant, so that’s another reason to get some photos as well. Oh, and it’s also Christmas Eve .. so why not right?
Kimberly + Family Portraits
Kimberly and her family invited me out to their house in the country to capture some portraits of everyone and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to do so. The drive out there was beautiful and once I pulled into the driveway and saw the house I was amazed how beautiful it was too! I knocked on the door and was greeted by Kimberly. Everyone was just finishing up getting ready so I used those few minutes to scope out the property and look for interesting backdrops which was definitely very easy to come by.
