High park is one crazy place to get into when the weather is nice, but it was worth waiting for a parking spot and even with all the traffic we managed to find spots where we could take pictures and not have a million people plus a few hundred photographers in the background.

Tania and Craig and Julian are the cutest little family and even though Julian was a bit shy at first, we got him laughing and playing in no time, he even took a little tumble running down the hill, but other than a small scratch on his lip, he was ok, and bubbles helped make him feel better.

Besides being beautiful, Tania has a beautiful little bump, but she’s so tiny that I had to tell her to stick out her tummy as far as she could at times just to see that little belly a bit more, but she was radiant and happy and I know this little girl on the way will bless this family and I can tell that Julian will be a great big brother.

We really had a wonderful time, good weather and for November its actually great weather, as you never know when the first snow will hit. It was a lovely session, and I really enjoyed photographing this adorable family.

Thanks Tania and Craig and Julian for being so easy to work with, and so adorable too. Hope you enjoyed your time with us and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek from our day together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I could have photographed these two cuties all day long. We had such a blast, and they were up for anything and even surprised me with the things they were willing to do. I always encourage my couples to go as wild and crazy as they like, as it doesn’t only add to the photoshoot by making great photos, but it makes for a fun and memorable time as well. You can guarantee that Lisanne and Dan will be talking about their session for years to come, and how they eagerly went into the water and climbed rocks and got into bushes with lots of bugs and yet with each shot, they just kept smiling and you could tell they were really enjoying themselves, as were we photographing the two of them having so much fun.

Earlier that day it was not looking too good out but I knew that Lisanne and Dan drove from North bay and although we could postpone, it was not something I wanted to do. We pushed the session back a bit and by the time we drove to the beach, the clouds were clearing up and it turned out to be a perfect day, we even got a FULL rainbow and I was so excited to shoot them right in the middle of it, don’t think I’ll ever get a shot like that again.

These two are young and so much fun and it was a really awesome session, and there were so many images that I liked, it was definitely hard picking out my favourites, so here’s quite a few from that day.

Thanks for driving down to Toronto  Lisanne and Dan, it was definitely a session that I will always remember and cherish. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek guys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The beach has to be the best location for a session, it just has so many things to offer, and its a great place for the kids and for the parents too.

We met up with Lisa and her family on Sunday morning and it was a perfect day, sunny and hot but a bit of a breeze which kept us cool the whole time.

Both of their kiddos, were gosh darn cute and a little shy but by the time we got to the beach to make a few sand castles they warmed up.

It was a fun session and I could do sessions like this forever, I didn’t want to leave and looking forward to my next family session at the beach.

Lisa, thanks for letting me capture your family and I hope you all had fun and hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Karla agreed that sunnyside would be our location for this session, I knew we would have a wonderful session there. After all, its where hubby and I had our wedding pictures taken some 12 years ago. It’s been and always will be one of my most favourite locations to shoot in. It has everything that you want, the beach, beautiful architecture and a lovely boardwalk and lots of trees and grass. Many great locations and with this family I could have stayed there all day photographing them.

After meeting Karla and her hubby Danny and their oh so cute lil boy Mateo, I pointed out the goose that was living in a planter near where we began our session. I was even more surprised when she stood up and revealed she was taking care of her eggs and I managed to take a shot right before she sat back down on them. It was a great way to start off this session.

We so enjoyed photographing Karla’s family and we laughed and talked and even though it looked like it may rain right before the session started, the rain thankfully stayed away.

Karla, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your precious family, I hope you enjoyed your time with us and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has been a crazy busy month for me and I just haven’t had a chance to blog and so you’ll be seeing a few posts in the next few days to make up for the loss of time.

To start things off, we had a photo shoot at the elegant women’s only club in downtown Toronto,  http://www.verity.ca/. When you step through the beautiful doors that lead you into the club, you are filled with a sense of peace and relaxation, the aroma and the ambiance is quite perfect,  the beautiful surroundings take you to another place and time.  You can tell how much loving care the owner Mary Aikten has put into this well thought out club.  Almost like an oasis in the middle of downtown Toronto, a place to get away and relax at the spa, take a dip in the pool or get your hair done, set up meetings, or have lunch or dinner with a few friends at the ever popular restaurant named George. Chef Loseto will mesmerize your taste buds and the courtyard in the summer is said to be Toronto’s most romantic courtyard.

We spent 3 wonderful days meeting and photographing staff and members and it was really lovely meeting so many inspiring and awesome women, and a few men too. We enjoyed photographing everyone and had a few laughs and took some lovely shots in the process. It was definitely a pleasure photographing everyone and we look forward to doing it again soon.

Special thanks to Mary for hiring us to photograph everyone and we also have to thank Louise for setting up everything for us, as far as schedules and keeping everyone on time and taking such good care of us while we were there and for referring me for this as Louise a returning client, and we must have done at least 3-4 sessions together by now and it means the world to me when clients love me and my work enough to tell other people about me, I’m constantly humbled and honoured when others spread the word about me.

Here are a few shots from the time we spent there….
