The D Family: Family Photography, Toronto, Ontario

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Robin, Pete and their children, Jack and William.

We ended up fighting the weather a bit, but it ended up working out, the sun even made an appearance. We started the shoot in their backyard, where I captured William at play:

Caught this shot of Jack when we all took cover from the light rain that had started:

Thankfully it cleared up and we moved to the kids’ school yard, for more fun and photos. Love this shot of mom and her boys:

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:

LOVE this one! Caught it almost at the end of the shoot:

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

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:

The F-R Family: Family Photography, Toronto, Ontario

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the F-R family, on a hot Tuesday morning, but we were just very happy and relieved that the rain held off for our shoot!

We started the session in their local park, just letting the girls play and have fun.

LOVED Sarah’s outfit, aren’t those shoes just too cute?

Claire and her Dad had fun playing together:

I brought out the bubbles, mom gives Sarah a hand:

Love this shot of Claire, tilted head and beautiful out-of-focus background (shot wide open at f1.2 with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens):
_W5I0962.jpg

The park we went to has these very cool colourful pillars around a park building, Claire and Sarah were adorable sharing a moment of sisterly love:
_W5I1028.jpg

Loved working the pillars into a family shot:
_W5I0924-Edit.jpg

Then we headed back to their house for some much needed water and some close-ups of the girls, love, love, love this shot of Claire!
_W5I1183.jpg

And also adore this shot of Sarah, relaxed and smiling:

Thank you to Chris, Katie, Claire and Sarah for the fun morning at the park!

The P & S Family: Family Photography, Toronto, Ontario

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Cole (who is just so adorable!) and his Mom and Dad. Dad had bought Mom a photography gift certificate for their recent anniversary—what a wonderful idea for an anniversary gift!

(Equipment Used: For those who are interested, I shot primarily with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens and the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens.)

The shoot was scheduled for first thing on Saturday morning, which was very fortunate given the weather for the rest of the weekend! I think we broke a record for the amount of rain that weekend!

We decided to stick close to home and do the session at locations where they regularly spend time as a family, here’s the happy family:
_W5I0357.jpg

This is the third of a series as Cole came running towards us, loving the backlight, the weather was perfect for the shoot!
_W5I0384.jpg

Loving this shot of the family playing in the sand at their local park:
_W5I0416.jpg

Look at those adorable curls! Mom actually held off getting Cole his first official hair cut so he would have those curls for the shoot, too cute!
_W5I0414.jpg

They live in a very cool house in Cabbage Town, loving those front doors!

Cole and Mom share a moment on the front lawn:

Then we did some bathtub shots, what fun!
_W5I0515.jpg

I just adore the freshly washed still wet hair look, and Cole also has amazing eyes too!

Looking forward to future photography sessions with Cole, can’t wait to capture the changes to come of this adorable young man!
