They were calling for a storm but thankfully it didn’t hit Newmarket where we did this family session. It was a bit grey out and we had a bit of light rain on and off but it was nothing like what hit in Toronto. On the way back we saw floods, tons of trees down and lights out all over the place. Even our oldest (whose called us worried that we were caught in the storm, I assured him we weren’t and then it totally cleared up after that, which was great for us as we had another shoot to do later that day.

Shameela’s family is so sweet, we were welcomed with open arms, and their youngest boy Deen, just gave me the biggest hug with the biggest smile, I didn’t want to let him go, and really all 4 children were so well behaved and so wonderful to photograph.

We had to work quickly though as we could see the dark skies closing in and it did start to rain more towards the end of the session. It worked out well though, and we got to meet this beautiful family and we had a really nice time with them, having fun, blowing bubbles and enjoying their backyard.

It was definitely a pleasure photographing your family Shameela, thank you for allowing us into your beautiful home and photographing your wonderful family,  and thanks for the piece of cake (my weekness) as well,  we hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met this lovely family last Friday and we really had a great time during this session. Sonny and Tina have 2 beautiful daughters, Julia and Nikki and they were so cute and adorable and the little one (Nikki) had me laughing the whole time, especially when she put her foot up during the one family shot, I just fell in love with her. Julia was eye candy for my camera, a very pretty girl and I still can’t believe she’s only 13!!!

Beautiful parents and beautiful girls, it was great watching Julia with her little sister and capturing them together, you can see how much they love each other. I am sure they will always be very close and I know they’ll always be each other’s best friend.

Sonny is a kung fu master, and I should have made him show me some moves but we got carried away taking pictures, so perhaps another time. Tina is so sweet pretty and I can see where her girls get their beauty from,lol.

Thanks Sonny and Tina for allowing me to capture your family and spend some time with you all. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 Maureen and Ervin first contacted me and set up this family session, they told me their sons, Nicholas 17 and Andrew 14 would also join them in the session and that’s when panic set in. I have photographed every age and both male and female, but never 2 teenage boys together. Now, I have 2 boys of my own, 8 and 5 and so I’m no stranger to boys but I wasn’t sure how I was going to photograph these two youngens. What poses do I put them in that is cool and that they will like, and will they behave, or just not want to be there at all. How was I going to get them to have fun?

I worried for nothing because when I met this family and their boys, I was totally taken by surprised to see two very mature and polite boys. The whole family was nice, and such a pleasure to photograph. They were very well dressed and even though it was boiling hot out, they managed to smile through every shot. We really had a lovely time, and the boys had me laughing more than once and it was a wonderful session.

I realized that my boys have the same age difference and in a few years from now, they will be the ones that are going into highschool and then graduating and when the time comes for my family to get a session done, I hope its jut like that one I did for Maureen and Ervin and their boys.

To the Herold family, thanks again for coming out in the heat and for being so wonderful to work it. We hope you enjoy your sneak peek and hope you also have a wonderful summer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s been one of the hottest weekends on record so far and we happened to have had 3 sessions and although the heat and humidity kicked my you know what, it was a great weekend and we had 3 wonderful sessions with terrific clients.

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting Lily’s family, and we met them at a spot that was special to her, it happens to be special to us as well, as we took our wedding pictures there. The statue of the lion at sunnyside park beaches was the location Lily choose and I couldn’t have been any happier.

Their little guy was a bit shy but he was so adorable and I think we got him to warm up to us a bit and got some cute shots of him and of his little baby brother as well.

Sunnyside has everything, the beach, a boardwalk, trees and bushes and a beautiful bridge and weeping willow trees and rocks, its just a great place for a session or just to take a walk.

We had a lovely time with this family and would love to share a few of my favourites from the session. Thanks Lily, it was so nice to meet you and your family, hope you enjoy the sneak peek.
