Snow Day: Toronto Family Photographer

Filed under: Children,Life,Out & About — Tags: fun, kids, snow day, snowball fight, Toronto, Toronto Family Photographer — Holly @ 5:00 pm

Yea! Snow day in Toronto! There hasn’t been a snow day in Toronto since 1999, Rebecca wasn’t even in school then! So my kids made the most of it, inviting friends over for a snowball fight! It was the girls against the boys, here’s how it played out:

Noah arms himself with snowballs, ready to attack:

Rebecca came forward to negotiate the terms on the snowball fight, they decided that the winner would be whomever took the other’s fort. Then the girls approached, and the fight began!

The girls quickly retreated to their corner, and just as quickly retreated from their corner, the boys won!

Back to the house we went for hot chocolate, rice krispies squares and xbox kinect. And that was the end of their snow day, hope they enjoyed it as it could be years before they have another one!

The T-Family: Toronto Family Photography

Filed under: Baby,Children,Family Photography — Tags: Baby, family photography, kids, to, Toronto, Toronto Family Photographer — Holly @ 11:21 am

This was a fun shoot, and also a bit of a reunion, as I used to babysit dad Aaron many years ago!

Molly and Olivia are having their Christening this coming Sunday, so we started the shoot with everyone in their outfits for that special day:

Then off to the park for some fun! Love how cute Molly is here in her adorable sun hat:

It was really bright and sunny, so we had to work around that, the swings were a fun solution:

Love these two black & white shots of Molly, the innocence of a toddler:

While Olivia napped, Molly played on the slide with mom and dad:

We finished up at the house with a few more shots of the girls:

And then a few shots of mom, Tara, and dad, Aaron. They have been a couple since they were 16-years-old, and have an amazing relationship. They are friends, and their love for each other is so evident. It was wonderful to see and capture:

Thank you to Aaron, Tara, Molly and Olivia for a fun morning!

Out & About in Our Neighbourhood: Toronto Family Photographer

A recent weekend with the kids, Noah riding his new ripstik, visiting the local ice cream shoppe, hanging out at the park:

(Equipment Used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 70–200 f2.8L IS lens and the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens)

On the way home Noah cooled off in a sprinkler:

I LOVE this series of shots as I feel I can envision the teenager Noah is soon to become:

The next afternoon we started off with an ice cream treat, before heading back to the park:

I was showing Noah how to make a sound with a blade of grass between your hands, then he was off to ripstik some more. Rebecca left, and then returned, and Noah took another break from ripstiking:

Love these last two with the extreme backlighting:

Out & About With My Daughter: Toronto Family Photographer

Filed under: Children,Life,Out & About — Tags: Canon, Children, family photography, kids, lenses, portrait, Toronto — Holly @ 11:22 am

Out and about recently with my daughter, if you look closely (hint, the ears!), you’ll see what her grade 8 graduation gift from me was (the third image shows it):

(Equipment Used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)

We were waiting for friends, on their front porch, to go and check out a local gallery, and I captured a few shots of Rebecca’s purse (that she made) with all her cool buttons. And then a shot of Rebecca and Alison (who I’ve blogged about before, she LOVES Rebecca, see this blog posting from Halloween 2008, 6th photo down, of her with Rebecca) as we walked to the gallery:

Then Rebecca and I went off to the Sewing Studio, so she could finish up her graduation dress. I blogged about the fabric choice for the dress before, and can’t wait to photograph Rebecca in the completed dress:
