Matt + Family Portraits - Squaw Bay

My latest mini session was with Matt and his family at Squaw Bay . It’s located on Fort William First Nation, and really is a hidden gem. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement for the overall area, but the backdrop is simply one of the best in the city. Luckily, I had an equally beautiful family to capture.

Anytime kids are involved, it always adds a lot of spontaneity, which I actually love. It does it make it challenging, but it also provides many good opportunities for candid captures. We also managed to get everyone to stand still for a few seconds here and there for some posed photos too.

It was a cold but extremely fun session!

Desiree + Nathan Portraits - Chippewa Park

Instead of my recent locations like the Tree Park and Centennial, it felt good getting out for a session at Chippewa Park. Desiree, Nathan and their two beautiful girls were so much fun to photograph. Even though it was quite chilly out, they were all up for the challenge, and the photos turned out great!

Jasmine + Friends Portraits - Tree Farm

My last session of the weekend was with my niece Jasmine and two of her friends. It was very fun and spontaneous, which is the best kind of session. Having it at the tree farm worked out perfect too. Especially when they pulled out their ghost costumes at the end.

Especially when they pulled out their ghost costumes at the end. Even if they were just sheets with holed cut out for eyes. But for anyone that knows Jasmine, that pretty much sums up her personality, which I love!

Shannon + Family Portraits - Tree Farm

Shannon and her family joined me for a mini session at the Tree Farm this past Sunday. I swear they all looked like professional models. It was a very natural and relaxed time which definitely come through in every single photo. I’m sure going to miss this Fall weather and these sessions. I guess it’s time to start planning for some winter ones!

Amy + Family Portraits - Cowan Park

I have photographed Amy and her family for quite some time now over the years, and it’s so nice seeing the kids grow up each time I seem them. The location we chose was a new one for me, Cowan Park. It was actually the perfect Fall spot, as the leaves were on the ground and there was still colour in the trees.

A lot of these portrait sessions I do simply feel like walks with families, and taking photos along the way. That make each and everyone feel very natural and real.

Rochelle + Family Portraits - Centennial Park

My last session on Saturday was with a Rochelle and her family whom I have photographed on multiple occasions. The great thing about this particular session was that there were 4 generations this time.

Teegan + Family Portraits - Centennial Park

It was my first time photographing Teegan and her family, and I really hope I get to do so again in the future. They were so easy going and fun to capture. It was such a relaxed atmosphere, and they were up for anything I suggested.

Ember + Family Portraits - Centennial Park

Another mini session I had this past weekend at Centennial Park was with Ember and her family. I love when kids are part of these sessions too, it always adds such a fun dynamic. I’m sure going to miss these fall colours in a week or so.

Tara + Dylan + Mya Portraits - Centennial Park

This past weekend I had couple full days of mini sessions. Tara, Dylan and Mya joined me for one at Centennial Park. Luckily the colour are still out, even though they are fading fast. They were so fun to capture, especially little Mya, who of course stole the show.

Stephanie + Haiden Portraits - Trowbridge Falls

Late afternoon sessions at Trowbridge Falls always result in fantastic looking portraits. It helps when you have a beautiful mother and son to photograph in Stephanie and Haiden. There are so many great spots at the Falls and we took advantage of a few of them. They were both a little bit nervous on what to do while I took photos, but as always, I just told them to be themselves. It resulted in some natural and candid moments!
