Family beach session – MPH Photography – Toronto

November 3rd, 2011

I love doing sessions at the beach, and we are pretty blessed to have a few of them here in Toronto so for this session we chose Woodbine beach and it was a beautiful day, sun was out, and even though it was a bit cold when you reached the water, it was still nice for an October day.

I met this lovely family for our session and right away little C warmed up to me and we quickly became friends. As I photographed him playing, we started talking and laughing and just having alot of fun together. I love kids, and often feel like I’m still a kid myself so I can relate to them and love watching them explore and learn about things, their amazement and their expressions are often priceless.

We got mom and dad in the pics as well and we took a walk along the beach and played in the park and had a real nice time having fun and in the midst of that we had a great photo session as well. This family did so well that time flew by and before we knew it the session was over as we have captured so many fun and memorable shots.

Thanks guys for coming out and having me photograph your family, it was such a joy, I love your little boy, he’s so cute and full of life,  and both Chris and I wish you all the best.  Enjoy your sneak peek from our session.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Natalia and her mom – MPH Photography – Toronto

October 28th, 2011

Lately, I’ve had a couple of mother daughter sessions and I have to say I love doing them. It’s so nice to capture a mother and daughter loving each other and loving life and immortalizing that forever on print. Nothing could be better than a day with mom, and then having the pictures to look back upon years later is a treasure in my books. All I know is that these types of sessions has made me want to do one for me and my mom, and I also think its a great way of telling mom how much you love her, and a small thank you for always being there and loving us unconditionally.

I met up with these two lovely ladies on a very windy morning and yet they didn’t let that stop them, they were determined to have fun and enjoy their surroundings. Natalia moved here a few years ago and her mother Marina came for a visit from Russia, she didn’t speak any english, but we got along wonderfully despite it.

We had such a nice time together and Marina’s expression after seeing a few shots that I took of her daughter Natalia was priceless, you could tell how proud Marina is of her daughter.  I loved capturing their relationship on film, it was fun to watch them talk and just be with each other.

I hope that you enjoy your sneak peek ladies, it was great meeting you both and watching you interact with each other, I had so much fun with you ladies, and Marina I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here in Toronto and I wish you a safe trip back to Russia and I hope you come back soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 days old – Brooklyn – MPH Photography – Toronto

October 23rd, 2011

This is my 3rd session with Susan, and although the other ones were fun this one was special since we were taking pictures of their newborn little girl who was all of 8 days old.

As soon as we met baby Brooklyn, we fell in love, she was sooo cute and sweet and adorable and precious and she slept like a little angel. She was a perfect model, slept through most of the session and barely even cried, only once and it was just while mommy changed her diapers. It was a really great session and we even went outdoors since it was such a nice day, it was one of the best newborn sessions we’ve ever done and  I just couldn’t get enough of this sweet lil girl.

I didn’t want to stop photographing her but after 3 hours and tons of shots, it was time to wrap things up and let mom and dad enjoy their little girl.

It was such an honour photographing Brooklyn’s first few days of life, I’m always smitten with the babies I photograph and I feel a special bond with them since I pretty much knew them since the day they were born,lol.

Susan and John, thanks for hiring us to photograph your precious baby girl, and I hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beth & Brian & Bridget & Brooke – MPH Photography – Toronto

October 18th, 2011

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family several times throughout the years and its so wonderful to watch these two girls grow in front of my eyes.  I not only consider the Ward family clients but friends as well, and was very sad last year when they told me they were moving back to New Jersey, and I thought I would probably never see them again.

Glad to say I was wrong, because Beth contacted me a few months after they moved and told me they were coming back to Toronto for a few days and if she could book another session with me! I was thrilled and so excited and then when the day got here,  the weather was perfect and the location was awesome, and it turned out to be such a wonderful day.

We met at Hart House and after exchanging hugs we began and it was non stop fun the rest of the session. I just love this family and am beyond thrilled that they traveled across the border to do a session with me and I look forward to photographing them every year.

Beth and Brian, I want to thank you for your constant support and enthusiasm, and I’m so touched that you keep coming back even though you moved so far away. I really hope you enjoy your sneak peek from our day together, and you know you are welcome back to Toronto, anytime!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ginette & Ginger – MPH Photography – Toronto

October 13th, 2011

I had the pleasure of meeting Ginette and Ginger for the first time this past weekend and it was a beautiful day and when we first met in the parking lot,  I felt an instant connection with these two. They are both so cute and so sweet and kind and up for anything. This mother and daughter duo, reminded me of my mom and I, and they had such a great time with each other as I was photographing them and I almost felt like I was a part of their family.

We had such a nice time and it was alot of fun, and with the flowers and the water and the beautiful views, we couldn’t have picked a better spot for the session. We went to Rosetta McClain park in Scarborough and this was my first time doing a session there, but I don’t think it will be my last as its really a stunning place.

They both brought personal props, which I think is fantastic as it adds to the session and personalizes it and makes a session unique and it was quite a fun session, and I didn’t want it to end.

Thanks so much Ginette and Ginger, you both are wonderful and I loved photographing you both and it was a great session, thanks for driving all that way and I hope you enjoy the sneak peek.
