Jennifer + Family Portraits

It’s always nice when families book me for a session after getting a gift certificate from a previous client. That was exactly the case with Jennifer and her family this past weekend. They chose the field beside Confederation College and it was the perfect location. I never thought to use it before, but I think I will be doing so again in the near future.

Even though it was a 30 minute session, we came away with a lot of great photos!

Here are some highlights from another session this weekend at the Tree Farm. It was my first time photographing Stacey and her family, and I’m hoping I get to do so again in the near future!

Kelly + Family Portraits - Tree Farm

I had such a fun time capturing a mix of candid and posed photos of Kelly and her extended family at the Tree Farm this weekend. Anytime there are kids involved, I know there will be some cute moments. As you can see from the highlights, there were plenty!

Anika + Family Portraits - Tree Farm

I have photographed Anika and her family more than a few times over the years, and each time, I’m amazed at quickly Will and Abby are growing up. It’s an ongoing joke that Will has endless energy each session, and I just have to try to keep up with him. This time around, it was no exception. I wouldn’t have it any other way though!

As with all mini session, we didn’t linger to long at any one location, we just kept it spontaneous. It was a nice mix of candid and posed photos. I really wish this weather would last a few more weeks but I know that isn’t likely. Regardless, I’m so happy I got to spend some time with Anika, Aaron and the kids. They are alway so fun to capture!

Ange + Family Portraits - Tree Farm

I still can’t believe how nice out it was this past weekend. It honestly felt like spring. Even though it was extremely last minute, I managed to book a few mini sessions with families. It’s always nice meeting new families that I haven’t photographed before, and that was exactly the case with Ange and her family.

These mini sessions always go by so fast, but I always end up with so many great moments. Then again, it’s easy when you have such an easy going family to capture! Now, if only this warm weather would stay around a little bit longer, I can squeeze in a few more mini sessions.

Amy + Family Portraits - Centennial Park

Luckily winter hasn’t full arrived yet, so that meant it was a relatively warm session with Amy and her family at Centennial Park earlier this week. We did have grand plans of recreating photos of when the kids were much smaller but that didn’t quite work out. Her two youngest were quite shy and not particularly up for photos.

It was easy solution, we just went on with the show and did our best. Luckily I’m an expert at capturing candid photos. By the end of the session, they started to warm up to photos a bit more! In the end, the session didn’t go exactly as planned but that’s completely fine. We still ended up with plenty of great memories.

Jessica + Liam Portraits - Tree Farm

I had the pleasure of photographing Jessica and Liam’s wedding last year, which was such a great time. Fast forward to this past weekend, and I joined them for a portrait session at the Tree Farm. It was also an opportunity to announce and celebrate Jessica’s pregnancy.

They even brought a few props which makes these types of sessions even better. Since we had already did a wedding the previous year, the session felt very natural. They are so comfortable in front of the camera, and you can just see the love in every single photo.

I can’t wait to hopefully capture some photos once the newest addition to the family arrives!

Amy + Family Portraits - Centennial Park

Last week I photographed David’s side of the family over at the Tree Farm, and it was a super fun session. This time around, we choose Centennial Park, to capture Amy’s side of the family. It was equally as fun, if not a little bit colder. Regardless, everyone had a great time and I once again, ended up with a good mix of posed and candid photos. What a beautiful family!

Leah + Barrett Portraits - Centennial Park

It’s always nice doing portraits for people I have worked with in the past, on a professional level. Leah is a local business owner and she wanted some family portraits. I got to meet her wonderful husband Barrett. They were such a lovely couple to spend a chilly but beautiful afternoon with. The last few shots on the rapids were definitely my favourites, as the snow just started to really come down.

Joelle + Family Portraits - Centennial Park

My fall mini sessions are now turning into winter sessions, but luckily the weather is still holding up, even if it is quite a bit colder. Joelle and her two children joined me for a session this past weekend and it was blast. Her son was pretty shy, but he warmed up to photos near then end!

Jake + Journee Portraits - Tree Farm

I really can’t wait to photograph Jake and Journee’s wedding in a couple years! It’s still a long way off, so I was happy when they asked me to do a portrait session with them. The session we did last year, also had snow on the same day. It all worked out though, as it make the tree farm even prettier.

Their son Noah, is so much bigger than the last time I saw him. He has so much personality now too. Plus, he’s great in photos! I’m looking forward to our next portrait session. By then, he’ll be running around!


Sometimes I sneak in some video during my portrait sessions. I did exactly that with Jake and Journee's session at the Tree Farm. I know I had to, with such ...

Amy + Family Portraits - Tree Farm

I am really going to miss this fall weather once it’s gone. I have been having such an amazing time photographing different families over the past 2 months. I can already see the frost on the ground in the mornings, and most of the leaves falling. But, that also means winter will soon be here, and along with it, a totally different look!

As with other families, I have had the chance to watch Amy’s family grow up right before my eyes. I look forward to each and everyone one of our sessions! With a little bit of snow on the ground and in the trees, it was once again the perfect setting for some family photos. As always, I captured a lot of candid photos too!
