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):

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:

Loved working the pillars into a family shot:

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!

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:

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

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

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!

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!

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!

Noah was available to come along to the shoot, because of the strike he’s been out of camp all summer. This offered a bit of a change of pace for him! Minnow had some great books for him, so he just settled down in a big comfy chair to read:

And then hid from me as soon as he realized I was photographing him!
