Lubasha + Family Portraits - Marina

I absolutely love doing large family photos sessions. It always allows me to get a large mix of candids and, of course, posed shots. Lubasha and her family all came together in Thunder Bay from various cities in Canada as well as the US. I’m so glad they chose to hire me to capture so many important family moments.

Surge U18 Flag Football Session

Check out these photos from my recent photo session with the Surge U18 team. It was supposed to be an outdoor shoot, after capturing the portraits on the field, a storm came down hard. So we took inside to finish up with a few more fun photos.
