She walked into the room, and I thought ” I have to photograph her” she’s just one of those beautiful people that you would love to photograph, and then we were introduced at my friends’ house where a bunch of us get together every so often. We are all part of group of ladies called natural mothering and we all have so much fun. Beth is new to the group, she moved to Toronto with her family from New Jersey just this past spring, so this was her first time at one of our get togethers. We hit it off right away and even though I was exhausted from the day’s festivities as I had just finished photographing the thanksgiving day special with 8 families, I was so glad I went and gabbed with the girls, and let’s not forget the yummy food too. It was a great night, talked to some old friends, and even got to meet some new ones too.

To my happy surprise Beth contacted me shortly after she saw some of the pics from the Thanksgiving day special and wanted to do a shoot, which made me so happy. Then she said she wanted pics with the skyline of Toronto in the background…… one thought came immediately to mind, the islands, and that’s when I got really excited.

I have always wanted to shoot there, we have 3 of them, centre island, ward’s island and Hanlan’s point, here is a bit about the islands if you want know more http://www.toronto.ca/parks/island/#about . Unfortunately after September they close down Centre Island for the winter and so we are left with Ward’s adn Hanlan’s point. Ward’s has a better view of the skyline so we opt’d for there.

I thought we were going on the nice ferries but instead for winter they bring out the ugly ones, you know, just a barge with barriers so you don’t fall over. I so wanted to take pictures of them inside the ferry and instead, we got a slab of rock that floats,lol. Didn’t even bring out the camer going over. Once there we found a cute little beach right beside the docks. It was a bit cool, and greyish out but happy that it wasn’t raining or freezing. A cute little kitty came by to welcome us to the island and the girls were smitten. It was such a cute little thing, and I almost wanted to take him or her home with me.

We had a lovely time, and I really enjoyed photographing all of them, beautiful family and I hope they enjoy their sneak peeks.

Thanks so much Beth, it was such a fun day and I look forward to doing another session with you again. Like we talked about, centre island next time, May would be a perfect time for that.
