My first of many mini portrait sessions to come over the next month or so took place earlier today with Danielle and her amazing family at Centennial Park. It had been a while since she last had portraits taken of her family and their parents were in town, so it was perfect timing.

Eden + Chris Family Portraits - Kakabeka Falls
I’ve lost track how many times I have photographed Eden and Chris, but each time I do, it’s even better than the last. Add in the fact that they now have an absolutely beautiful house in Kakabeka Falls, which is simply amazing. Their son Orson, just keeps getting bigger and bigger. He pretty much dictated the whole session, which I’m completely fine with.

Jordan Graduation Session
It feels really good to be starting up photo sessions again. I know things aren’t completely back to normal, but at least it’s something! One of my first official shoots back was my recent one with Jordan and her family for some graduation photos. I also shouldn’t forget Trixie, who was often the star of the show most of the time.

Leah + Family Portraits
Whenever I do family session at home, I always look forward to them. Combine that with a very important occasion like an 80th birthday party and it makes it that much better. Leah and her family, who are from out of town wanted to surprise their father with a portrait session, and that is where I came in. I felt honoured to be a part of their day, let alone capture it.

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!

Jake + Journee Portraits - Centennial Park
Sometimes things just happen for a reason. A couple weeks ago we had to cancel our original session because Jake wasn’t feel well. Fast forward to this morning and the weather was absolutely perfect. It snowed the night before so it made Centennial Park even more beautiful. Jake and Journee had never done a portrait session before but they had absolutely nothing to worry about. In 30 minutes we came away with so many great photos.

Lexy + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
It was my second portrait session in a row at the Tree Farm. This time around, instead of an engagement session, it was with Lexy and her family. But, just like the previous session, they brought their dog. In this case, it was Gabby, who was definitely the centre of attention. Lexy mentioned that Gabby had been through quite a few foster homes so it hadn’t been easy. Luckily she is ‘home’ now and you could really tell she was settling in with her new family.

Cher + Family Portraits - Crescent Lake
My second portrait session of the day took place on Mount McKay at Crescent Lake. It was with Cher and her wonderful family. I had to hitch a ride with them to the lake because my car was too small for the road, but once we got there it was perfect timing. The sun was just going behind the trees so the lighting was awesome. Once we were done at the lake we quickly stopped on the road on the way back to get a few more family portraits on the ground which was covered in leaves. I’m so glad we were able to fit a session in before the weather gets any worse!

Kaylee + Carter Portraits - Chippewa Park
Each time I photograph Kaylee and Carter I’m absolutely amazed at how big they keep getting. Time just flies doesn’t it? My latest session with them was a 30 minute one at Chippewa Park. It was plenty of time to come away with some memorable moments. Carter was shy for the first 10 seconds and then he pretty much ran the show. He now holds the record for the most time someone has said ‘cheese’ in one of my session.

Sarah + Brad Family Session
I absolutely love home family portrait sessions. They are always so natural and intimate. I really want to try and do more in the coming year. In any case, Sarah and Brad welcomed their newest addition to the family so it was the perfect excuse to get some updated family portraits. She wanted to keep it as candid as possible which is right up my alley.

Min + Brooke Family Session - Centennial Park
It has been about 2 years since I photographed Min, Brooke and their family. So I was super excited to once again spend an hour with them, capturing new moments. We decided on Centennial Park which is always beautiful, especially this time of year. Admittedly, with these types of session when little kids are involved, I tend to just go with the flow. I’ll direct some posed family portraits here and there, but most of them time, it’s just a matter of catching nice candid moments. I’m so lucky to have families that I continue to photograph throughout the years, and see how the children grow up. It always amazes me how quickly that happens.

EcoSuperior Headshot Session - Waverly Park
Who said headshot sessions had to be boring? When EcoSuperior contacted me to get some updated headshots and imagery for the website we both agreed Waverley Park would be the perfect location. Seeing as how EcoSuperior is all about the environment, having the session outside just seemed right. I set up a little spot in in the shade to get the standard headshots but I also spent a lot of time getting some candids for their website as well. Of course, we did a few group photos too. In just an hours time, we completely updated their photo library.
