Katelyn + Family Portraits - Marina
Well, after some initial rescheduling because of the weather, Katelyn and her family joined me at the Marina this evening for an awesome photo session. Katelyn actually contacted me a while ago to purchase a mini session gift certificate for Mother's Day. We had already met previously too, because I photographed her sister Courtney's wedding just last year. Suffice it to say I was really excited to spend some time with the O'Connor's again, especially for a portrait session.
Amanda + Family Portraits - Mission Marsh
Every now and then I give away free portrait session at Shags of wedding couples I am eventually photographing. Well, Amanda won a session and decided to take me up on my offer. We decided on Mission Marsh for the location and it ended up being perfect! All in all, it was a family of 5 and they were all great sports.
Amanda + Serge Family Portraits - Centennial Park
Centennial Park was the location for my latest portrait session with Amanda, Serge and their daughter Norah. They are friends of the family, so anytime I get to spend an hour with people I know, it's an added bonus. As soon as I arrived little Norah showed us where to go, and that ended up being the playground, of course. We kind of just let her roam around with some gentle guidance here and there. She was actually really great all the way through, stopping and posing for a few seconds when we asked her.
Alexa Portraits - Thunder Bay Marina
My second session of the day, was yet another one that was just centred around the child of the family, in this case it was Michelle's daughter Alexa. Michelle had one a free 30 minute portrait session at one of the shags I sponsored too and that brought us to this past Sunday. My model for the day was 4 year old Alexa, who from the very first minute I met, didn't stop running and moving the entire session. You might think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. I was completely fine though, because I love a challenge. Plus, that much energy was sure to make for some great candid photos.
