I have known Danielle for years, and had the pleasure of photographing her with her niece years ago and then I also photographed her sister as well, so I was more than thrilled when she contacted me and asked me to photograph her wedding in June.

Besides being beautiful inside and out, Danielle is a cute and sweet and funny girl and her and David are so adorable together and we had so much fun during their e-session. We had to postpone it a couple of times due to wether and then when we finally met, it wasn’t the best weather as it was wet snow that kept falling, but eventually it stopped and the sun even came out at the end.

We drove around downtown Toronto and stopped at a few spots and we had so much fun. At the end we went to a new skating rink with the skyline as the background and it was beautiful, even though the ice rink wasn’t skatable it was still pretty and we made the best of it and Danielle even wore heels on the ice.

These two are so wonderful and I can’t wait for their big day in June, I know it will be an amazing wedding.

Thanks again Danielle and David, we had such a wonderful time with you and are so looking forward to your wedding day, but for now we hope you enjoy the sneak peek from your e-session.

p.s.  I may have to add some more images soon as there were just so many that I loved…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is another wonderful site dedicated to inspiring photographers and is really such a helpful resource and I’m thrilled to have been featured on it twice. It’s called Inspire me baby!

One of my sunrise maternity images was used for inspirational post about silhouettes, here is that shot…

They also featured another session of mine done last winter, as usually families don’t do sessions outdoors in the winter when they have young children, but it can be done and it can have great results, and I highly recommend doing an outdoor winter session if you love winter and the snow.

Here are a couple of images from that session…

Just want to wish everyone a Happy new year. This year will be a little different for MPH Photography since we are having a baby girl in the beginning of May and I’m cutting down my sessions and only going to do a few every month, so for anyone who wants a session done this year, now is the time to contact me before all the spots are filled up.

In the meantime, I will be posting more about my family and my goal is to spend as much time as I can with them in 2012.

I have been meaning to post about a site that I love and have been featured on. The site was created by Emily Krbec, a fellow photographer friend of mine whose goal it is to celebrate and showcase fellow local photographers, she believes that us photographers should learn from each other and share our work, rather than be worried about who our competition is and I think she’s right. It would only make us stronger if we band together and join forces and share our work and our ideas and concepts and how we run our businesses and then we can all grow together and take photography to another level.

Here is a session I did with  Heather that was featured on their site:

and here is an image from that session as well. If you wish to check out the original post I made for my blog  just click here http://mphphotography.net/blog/2011/05/heather-mph-photography-toronto/

I’m also honoured that one of my images is featured on their front page on the slideshow.

I love my job!! I’m sure I have mentioned that many times before but I absolutely love it and I love it even more when return clients who have become friends come back for their annual Christmas portrait session.

Louise and her family, are definitely one of my favourite families to photograph, this is the 4th time I have had the pleasure of photographing them and each time gets better and better. They picked out a great location and the weather was definitely on our side as its almost December and its still not that cold out. We really had a great time, and I just couldn’t stop taking pictures of this bunch, they are so cute and so sweet and adorable and I could have easily spent the whole day with them.

I remember photographing Louise when she was pregnant with her youngest and to see this little one grow along with her 2 sisters is something I treasure and its an honour to be the one to capture them as they grow.

This was my last session of this year, and its been an amazingly wonderful year, I feel so blessed and even though it was a crazy busy year, I loved every minute of it. Next year may be a bit slower, with baby coming in April/May so I will not be booking as many sessions as I did this year, so if you are considering doing a session now is the time to book as space is limited and once they are booked I will not have any other openings available.

I was so happy to end this year with this family, I had a smile the whole time and although I felt a bit sad at the end, I was also extremely happy and looking forward to the future and where my photography business is going.

Louise, as usual it was fabulous seeing you all again, and hope you enjoyed your session and all the fun we had, and I hope you like your sneak peek. It was so hard for me to choose my favourites as there were just so many shots that I loved from this session.

Many thanks to all my wonderful and amazing clients, I can’t thank you enough, and I look forward to photographing you all again in the future, but as 2011 is coming to an end, I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very joyful and wonderful holiday season and all the best in the new year. God bless!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can’t believe its November already and that Christmas is around the corner, but despite that its still been relatively warm out, not t-shirt weather but no need for hats and mitts just yet, so that’s good. I’ve also been blessed to have all my sessions on days when the weather hasn’t been too cold, and I couldn’t be happier about that.

For example this session with Shirley and her nieces,  it had called for rain but at the last minute they changed the weather report to no rain and warmer than usual weather. We still had to wear coats but we didn’t freeze which was my main concern, especially for the two little girls that this session was essentially for.

Shirley wanted a session with her nieces, and that touches my heart, I think every aunt should do this, and I have 3 nieces myself, and I definitely want to do a session like this with them now as well.

Both girls were so adorably cute and the oldest was a perfect model and you could see that her auntie loves them both. It was such a nice session, and it was lovely meeting them all.

Shirley, I hope you enjoyed yourself with your nieces and I hope you enjoy the sneak peek from our day.
