When I take photos of couples some are more comfortable then others. Regardless, I always try and make it as natural as possible, that way the photos really do come across as sincere. With that being said there are things you can do to further ensure the photos don’t look too posed. In this short post I will list 5 simple ways to do so.

Favourite Portraits of 2013
As promised in my last post, here are 'some' of my favourite portraits from 2013. I had a ton of sessions so it was hard to choose from but I narrowed it down these select few. If you would like to check out many more images by looking through the rest of my blog. Thanks again to all the wonderful families and couples.
Read MoreJen + Baby Felix Newborn Portraits
When one of my good friends Jen asked me to photograph her and her 3 week old son Felix, I jumped at the chance. Newborn photography is something I want to start specializing in. So what better way to get started then by capturing photos of little Felix.
Read MoreAmy & Family Portraits
This marked the second year in a row that I had the pleasure to photograph Amy and her wonderful family. Originally we planned on doing the session at 11:00 in the morning but after seeing the weather forecast calling for -40 degree weather, we pushed it back to the afternoon. Luckily we did because once 3:00 pm came around it was still quite cold. This made for a challenging but very fun photo shoot!
Read MoreKatrina + Family Portraits
It was time for yet another family fall portrait session. After quite a bit of back and forth Katrina and I were finally able to nail down a date! Centennial Park was once again the destination. I have shot here on many occasions and I am often asked if it gets boring to always photograph at the same location. My answer is always no.
Read MoreNancy + Family Portraits
It was yet another beautiful fall day just in time for my latest portrait session with Nancy and her 3 daughters. The location this time around was the Thunder Bay Marina. I like using this location especially when there are kids in the family as it really provides a nice relaxed atmosphere with plenty of distractions.
Read MoreTobin + 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.
Read MoreAmanda + 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.
Read MoreKristi + 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.
Read MoreONWA 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.
