Studio play – MPH Photography – Toronto
All that I kept thinking all weekend was that time goes by so fast and children grow up too quickly, so we need to cherish everyday that we have with them. So with that in mind, I was determined to make the weekend a “just family” weekend. Plus I wanted to get myself out of my funk for not being able to attend WPPI again, sigh, next year I’m going for sure!
We packed up the kiddos and got in the car and just drove. The kids love looking at our city so sometimes we just drive around and look at everything, and its so awesome to hear them oooh and aaah over things that Chris and I have seen all our lives and have ended up taking for granted. Children help you see things in a different perspective, they are so curious about the world and life and have a wonderful explorative nature and their awe about everything is so endearing. I never want that to change, but I know it will. So for now, we played and went out and spent time together and had a great time, and we even managed to do a little photo shoot on both days at the studio. I love it when daddy and I and the boys just spend time together being a family and enjoying each other. We went into the Toronto Humane society to look at dogs and cats and of course we were all wanting to take one home with us but Chris and I talked it over and we are not ready to have a pet just yet, we are hoping to in the next few years though. We also enjoyed eating some yummy treats thoughout the city and I had to bring home some desserts from the greek pastry store Select Bakery, and although I didn’t take any pics this time, you can check out their site and you will see a number of delectable desserts.
My brother even came with us on the Saturday and I managed to take just a few of him and the kids and even got a decent shot of myself thanks to my sweet hubby, so it was not only a great family weekend it was productive as well. The only person I didn’t shoot was my hubby,lol. Maybe next time….
Enjoy the pics from the weekend, and just a reminder that as spring approaches, I’m booking more and more sessions so if you want a spring or summer or even a fall session, now is the time to book.

These are fabulous – it is so important to get shots of you and your family. I always have to remind myself to get in the shot myself – I stay behind the lens too much. Love these captures!
