Refreshing | Burlington Family Photographer

Every time I’ve worked with this family, it’s been good ol’ fashioned fun!  No matter if it’s super cold, crazy windy, or even a beautiful sunny day, these 4 always have such a wonderful time together.  The fact that I get to hang out with them, document the silliness and join in on their fun, well that’s just awesome!

This session was just like all our others, full or laughter (thanks to their eldest) and so much affection!  The only change was in the growth of these beautiful sisters, because we all know that our children age and have a birthday every year, but us adults, we don’t, our birthdays only come along every 3-5 years.  Isn’t that right?  HA!  No chance!  Although, wouldn’t that be kind of awesome??  Who am I kidding, I love celebrating my birthday!!

Okay, enough about me and my thoughts on ageing.  What I’m trying to get around to saying is that I always walk away from my time with this family feeling refreshed and reminded how much I love what I do.  So thank you for that Mom, Dad and you two blonde beauties!  I hope to continue to document your growth each and every year.

Aww, Love it!! Thank you for the beautiful photos!!

Posed yet Candid | Mississauga Family Photographer

Does that even make any sense?  Posed yet Candid.  I hope it does because that’s how I would describe my style of photography when it comes to family and children sessions.

The amount of posing that I do during a session is basically to point out where you should stand for the light to be most flattering, and yup, that’s about it.  The rest, that’s all them, my clients being themselves and enjoying the company that they are in.

Okay, so maybe I give slight direction throughout our time to look at each other (or somewhere else for that matter), and when I do that, that’s always the moment, when eyes lock and an expression is viewed and a reaction takes place.  It’s when natural smiles bust through.  It’s when everyone relaxes a little and the candid interactions begin naturally.

These sweet, playful boys became comfortable with me quite fast and the natural interactions came easily.  What a pleasure it was to work with them!!

Mom and Dad, I very much enjoyed getting to know you and your boys and documenting your family dynamic.  Thank you for being open and playful with your boys, it made for some super adorable images!

I hope you love your peek!

With his hands | Oakville Lifestyle Photographer

I’ve been working with this family for quite a few years now and over the past 2 years when I would see them the question was always, “how is your home coming along”?

Well, this time around when they contacted me for their family photos, the question was “can we do the session in our home”?

YES!!!  I was super excited for them, that their home was finally completed, and let me tell you, a dream home it is!! From the gorgeous open indoor space to the cozy, earthy outdoor space, everything was executed to perfection!

Now, as much as I love all the details of this beautiful home, I mean their style is so totally up my ally with the mixture of wood, metal, and loads of natural light, even when I saw all those elements come together so beautifully,  it was still the simple fact that Dad built this home with his hands that impacted me the most.  The fact that they’ve lived on this property in two very different homes, and this one has been built with love and likely plenty of sweat and tears, that’s the  most beautiful part of it all!!

Thanks so much for welcoming me into your home Mom and Dad!  It is absolutely gorgeous!  May the memories you create within those walls be brilliant ones.

Sisters | Oakville Family Photographer

There are many things that we plan in life, but the gender of your child is something that is out of your control.  So when I realized that these sisters had boys only months apart, and then a few years later had girls only months apart, I was so shocked.  How crazy cool is that!!!!!  I mean really, just stop for a moment and think of all the reasons that make this so cool…..they entered motherhood only months apart from each other, they’re able to raise their children together, the kids will likely be into the same sort of activities around the same time, and the awesome fact that the kids are super close in age to their cousins, I mean ah-mazing!

I have cousins that are close in age to me and growing up with them by my side was incredible.  The memories from my childhood are the stem of who I am!  A solid foundation with family members that are close in age will only be a bonus for these kids.

The more I’m writing about it, the more I realize that I’m actually kinda jealous of these sisters.  How I would have loved to experience motherhood at the same time as my sister.  I can just imagine how much the two of you have bonded and been able to help and support each other at such a huge milestone in your lives.  It’s just so amazing the way things have worked out for you both.  My jealousy comes from a place of total admiration by the way.

May your journey’s of motherhood continue to be a close one, one that brings you together to have you photos taken and your families documented for years to come!  I hope you love your peek ladies!

Fall on Fire | Stoney Creek Family Photographer

Mother Nature is putting on such a gorgeous display for us this year!  At this particular location it looks as though the trees are on fire, from beautiful orange tones to those deep red hues, and even a little green still peeking through, it literally makes my jaw drop as I spin around and take in the beauty of this season.

It has quickly become one of my favourite Fall locations, not only because of the beautiful foliage display, but also because the walking path is surrounded by bulrushes, or maybe you know them by the name, cattails.  I loveeeeeeeed bulrushes as a kid, and I’ve realized that I still love them just as much as an adult 🙂 We peeled them back, shook them around, and made it snow in October.  What fun it was!!  I’m still wondering if I enjoyed it more then they did, though.

What a super fun session this turned out to be!  While I always have a great time photographing these boys and their super sweet Mamma, this time around it was elevated.  The way they interacted with me, and with each other, ugh it made my heart soar with happiness!

I hope these images will do the same for you Mom!
