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.
Amanda + Family Portraits
My latest portrait session was one of the most interesting ones of the season. It was another large family shoot with even more kids this time and even more energy! Sometimes I wish I could watch my shoots afterwards and see just how much running around I did. I’ll never complain though as the photos when you are on the go often turn into some of the best candid photos.
Kristi + Family Portraits
It seems as though summer took forever to get here and who knows how long this hot weather is going to last. So, Krisi and her whole family took advantage and we had a wonderful photo session at Centennial Park. Even at 6:30 it was still quite hot but we managed to bear the heat, find some shade and come away with some truly fun and candid photos.
ONWA Family Portraits - Session 3
This past week I was hired to do my third photo session at ONWA. For those that don’t know what ONWA is, I encourage you visit the website to learn more. It is a not for profit organization that was established in 1972 to empower and support Aboriginal women and their families throughout the province of Ontario. I really do like these sessions because it gives me a chance to photograph some wonderful families who might not otherwise hire a photographer to get their portraits done.
Willow + Family Portraits
The Thunder Bay Marina was the setting for my family portrait session over the weekend. Willow contacted me a couple months prior to photograph her and her family. After a couple attempts we finally settled on a date and stuck to it! It was well worth it because the day was perfect and the finished photos turned out great.
ONWA Winter Family Portraits - Session 2
The harsh weather let up just in time for my second photography session at ONWA. This time around I had the opportunity to photograph 7 different families. The location for the shoot was in the back area again, except this time around, I took advantage of a nice selection of trees.
Carol + Family Portraits
My second session of the day took place at Mission Marsh. I had a couple wedding portrait sessions here earlier in the year but that was well over 2 months ago. I was hoping for more leaves on the trees, which there weren’t, but everything else was a nice golden brown which made for some great photos. It was a completely different feel from my earlier session but that is what makes every location in this city unique!
Candace + Family Portraits
It was another beautiful fall day for today’s portrait session with Candace and her family. As with my previous shoots early this week, not many leaves were left on the trees, but there were plenty on the ground. This allowed us to get some really vibrant and colourful photos.
Amy + Family Portraits
With the Fall weather slowly going away it’s getting harder and harder find colourful spots throughout the city. But, if you like hard enough, there is still plenty of colour left. For my latest portrait session with Amy and her family we were originally going to go to Boulevard, instead though, we ended up just down the street where there were plenty of leaves and fall colours!
Heather + Family Portraits
A couple years ago I had the pleasure to photograph Heather and her family out at their house in the country. This time around it was the same location but there was another addition to the family. As soon as I got there it was like working with 3 professional models. The instant I pointed my camera at the boys they would strike a pose. It’s like they have been practicing the past 2 years!
Anne + Family Portraits
Leah + Family Portraits
Centennial Park was the setting for my most recent photo session. Leah, Stephen and their family decided to take take advantage of my Fall Portrait Special. They were leaving to fly back to Vancouver the next day so everyone was hoping for a good day of weather. We got what we wished for because it was cool, cloudy and most importantly, it didn’t rain!
Toby + Family Portraits
As I mentioned in my previous post, I had two sessions at Centennial Park this past weekend. This was the second one and it was just as fun and spontaneous. Even though it was the same location, the photos were completely different! We really took advantage of the fall colours and leaves. Mainly because Grace was such a great sport. She pretty much stayed where she was put and smiled and played for the camera. I couldn’t have asked for a better model.
Leigh Anne + Family Portraits
This past weekend was a busy one for me. I had two separate portrait sessions both at the same location, Centennial Park. First up was Leigh Anne, Dean & Quinn. With Fall now officially here (and almost gone), the colours are fantastic. As you can see from the photos, it makes for a wonderful fall palette.
Sydney + Family Portraits
The first time I photographed Sydney she was 1 years old. This time around we chose Vickers Park as the location. The minute everyone arrived Sydney was off and running. We basically just followed her around the whole shoot. This made for some great candid photos.
Tyra, Hayden + Jayme Portraits
The second photo session of the weekend was a bit more relaxed but just as fun. Jayme, who is just over 6 months old was the perfect little model. After throwing up within the first 10 minutes, we wiped him clean and continued on with the shoot!
Brittney, Adam + Chase Portraits
It was definitely a busy weekend filled with some Christmas portrait sessions. The first one was with my niece Brittney, her boyfriend Adam and their lively 2 year old son Chase.
Mariam + Hassanali Portraits
Mariam & Hassanali approached me to get some portraits done and I jumped at the opportunity. This shoot went by super fast, mainly because it was so much fun. The location this time around was the marina. It took place first thing in the morning on a very overcast and almost foggy day. This meant great lighting but not so great backdrops.
Deanna + Family Portraits
It was another beautiful day which meant superb timing for a family photo shoot. Deanna and her family met me at Vickers Park. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting. Under the shade of the big trees we took a variety of family portraits.
Heidi + Family Portraits
Below is a recent shoot I did at Boulevard Lake. This time around it was Heidi and her family. This was by far the most tiring (but fun) shoot I have had to date. I was running around the entire time trying to get some ‘still’ shots. Who knew two year olds had so much energy! Thanks again to Heidi and her family for coming out and making it an evening to remember.
