It was such an amazing Family Day at Fort William Historical Park. Even though there were a lot of different events going on for Family Day throughout the city, we decided to spend most of our time at the park and it was well worth it. I couldn’t get over all the amazing activities that happened throughout the day. We spent about 3 hours walking around.

Melanie + Esker Newborn Session
Esker and Melanie recently welcomed their new daughter, Maeve, into the family. They weren’t planning on getting newborn photos done, but as soon as she arrived, they knew they had to. I get to do their wedding this coming September so I was super happy that I got to have a portrait session with them before then. Plus, I also got to meet Maeve, who might go down as the calmest baby I have ever met.

8th Annual Wolfy's Pond Cup
Last year was my first time photographing Wolfy’s Pond Cup. As soon as I finished taking photos of it, I knew I had to come out to the next one. Fast forward to today, and it was here again. Just like last year, it was just as great. It is such a unique atmosphere, and you can just tell that everyone is having a fantastic time.

TBSO Women & The Blues
This past Saturday I was invited to take photos of the TBSO Women and The Blues event at the Italian Hall. I had photographed a few TBSO events in the past, but this was by far my favourite one. Performers Nancy Freeborn and Zoey Williams sang a variety of songs by Billy Holiday and Diana Ross, amongst others.
Back by the TBSO, everyone put on such an amazing show in front of a sold out crowd. If you haven’t already, next time they perform together, I highly encourage you to check them out. It’s an evening of music will never forget!

Brandon + Anna Wedding - Fort William Historical Park
My last wedding of 2019 took place at Fort William Historical Park. I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful location to end such an amazing year. Once I arrived I met up with Brandon and some of the wedding party at the main entrance. We hopped on the shuttle bus that eventually took us to the park, which is where everything was taking place. Once we got there, Anna arrived, and we made our way in. After gathering everyone in the wedding party and the immediate family, we continued on and photographed all the portraits.

Sara and Eric came to visit family for the holidays and, while they were here, asked me to shoot their engagement photos.

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.

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!
