The K Family: Family Photography, Toronto, Ontario

Oh, it was SO hard to limit my sneak peek for this adorable family! They were the winning bidders for a gift certificate that I donated to the POGO Gala this year.

We met up at a park close to where they live, which I hadn’t been back to since my last shoot there almost two years ago. It’s a great location!

(Equipment Used: Shot entirely with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens and the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens.)

Emma was such a sweetie! As soon as she saw me she reached out and I ended up carrying her over to the playground. Look how adorable she is!

Her brother Nathan was such a cutie! He looked like a model, and he kept himself busy running around most of the time, 🙂

Love this shot, almost everyone is looking at me! 😉

“AWWWW!” Which is what my daughter said when she saw this shot, and I concur! So sweet!

Nathan and his Dad share a moment in the playground:

Absolutely ADORE this series of backlit shots! Emma and her mom, so adorable!! (Shot wide open at f1.2 with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)

You would recognize these steps if you looked at the link above to the other family shoot, great spot for a family photo!

Love these shots of Dad playing with his daughter, so fun!

Loved Emma’s outfit, strong bold colours, matching hair ribbon, perfect for the shoot:

Oh, this sweet moment between mother and son takes me back to when my children were that age, so precious!

Thank you Sally and Yong! It was my pleasure to meet and photograph you and your children!

Body in Balance: Corporate/Headshots Photography, Toronto, Ontario

Dr. Vanessa Arnold, of Body in Balance, needed some up-to-date shots of herself and her studio space for a new website design. Her mom also helped out as the “patient/client”.

My fabulous friend, Janine, from imabeautygeek.com, did the make-up for the shoot and, as per usual, she did a fab job! Wish I had her available to do make-up for me every morning!

Once again, loving my Canon 85 f1.2L lens for the headshots taken outside, everyone of the following (except for the 3rd shot), was taken with this awesome lens from Canon. The other lens I used at the shoot was the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens, which was used for the interiors, except for the last two (in office) shots which were taken with the 85. (See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)

Kept it simple for the headshots, with a couple of wardrobe changes, we were very happy that the rain held off for the whole shoot!

The G Family: Family Photography, Toronto, Ontario

Jeanine was the winner of the Project Love photo shoot (see this blog post), and we had a wonderful time in a local park last Friday with her adorable daughter, Brigitte.

(See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)

We started off with a swing, can you tell she loves swinging? 😉

Loving the dreamy bokeh that the Canon 85 f1.2L lens produces, really is my favourite lens:

Loving the look of concentration on Brigitte’s face, and her beautiful eyes! (Shot with the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens, which is much better at close-up work then the 85!)

Every mother experiences this, babies love their mommy’s necklaces!

Absolutely ADORE this shot! Brigitte looks too cute, and mom smiling in the background, can you say perfect?

We actually did the shoot at my local park, so guess who came by to say ‘hello’ during his recess break? My son Noah’s school is attached to the park where we did the shoot:

It was a beautiful day for the shoot, sunny and warm with no rain, perfect:

At the very end I caught some wonderful backlit shots:

Thank you for spending Friday morning with me Jeanine and Brigitte!
