Kris & Tim: Maternity/Couple Photography, Toronto

Kris and Tim found me through their friends Dann & Bob, and I’m glad they did as we had a super fun shoot this past weekend!

They live out of town, so we had a hotel shoot (which I have done before).

They also brought along their first baby, Phoebe for the shoot:

We started out in the hotel room:

Then we moved outside to the beautiful snowy day:

Watch for the newborn photography session in April! Thank you Kris & Tim! Can’t wait to meet your little one in April! 🙂

Utah Photography Workshop: Toronto Family Photographer

Last week I attended an amazing workshop with Nichole Van, and I am missing the beautiful weather in Utah, a nice DRY heat rather then what we are currently experiencing in Toronto.

Here are some images I captured during the workshop. The first series is with models she organized for us at her home outdoor studio (her backyard):

The next day we moved to an off-site location. This image was shot with off-camera light that Nichole set up:

The rest of the images, from that shoot, were natural light:

On the way back to the hotel, one night, we stopped to photograph some beautiful horses, and the landscape:

Coby & Ashley, Kensington Market: Toronto Couple Photography

Love and romance in Kensington Market this Valentine’s Day with my couple photography shoot of Coby & Ashley.

(Equipment Used: Images where shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 5D, Canon 85 f1.2L lens, Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens and the Lensbaby Composer.)

What a fun neighbourhood for a couple shoot (or a family shoot!), lots of colour, and interesting backdrops.

Love this natural moment I caught of Coby and Ashley on the bench, and the wonderful graffiti & fabric (hanging outside) that made for such colourful backgrounds:

Had to share this whole series, cool locale, and wonderful interaction:

Every time I turned around it seemed I found another interesting backdrop! At the end of the shoot, we jumped on a streetcar, did some shots while riding, and then used the streetcar as a backdrop, so Toronto!

Decided that the images just called out for some texture, love how in this example it adds more depth and interest to the background:

Lensbaby shot, colour graphic wall, texture added in PhotoShop:

Went all out on this one, love the worn, vintage feel:

Thank you for the fun afternoon in Kensington Market, Coby & Ashley!
