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:

Decided to revisit the H Family session (see original posting below), and add some Supernatural Textures (from Patti Brown) to two of my favourites from the shoot:

What do you think? Do you like the textured look or the no texture look? Post a comment and let me know what you think!

The H-Family: Toronto Family Photography

Filed under: Children,Family Photography,Photography Session — Tags: childr, family photography, kids, on-location, photography, portrait, toddler, Toronto — Holly @ 12:59 pm

It was a beautiful summer day in May, and I had a super fun family session last week with Lauren, Murray and their Mom & Dad.

(See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used. Primarily used the Canon 1DMkIV and the Canon 85mm f1.2L lens in the following images.)

Isn’t Lauren simply adorable? Those blue eyes, and blond ringlets, LOVE this shot:

Big brother Murray is blond and blue-eyed too!:

We started the session walking to the local park:

Love this shot of Lauren hanging on to her dad’s finger, so cute!

The whole family:

Murray and his Dad having fun together:

Murray enjoying the park (LOVE the bokeh in this shot!):

We finished up back at the house, how could I resist getting some shots of Murray in his cool bedroom? I couldn’t!

Maybe some parents wouldn’t be keen on this image, but I think it’s adorable, and would be guaranteed to take you back to that time in your children’s life:

Thank you to the H-Family for a fun family shoot!

Out & About in T.O.: Toronto Family Photographer

Filed under: Children,Life,Out & About — Tags: Canon, family photographer, family photography, kids, lenses, Toronto — Holly @ 11:21 am

The weather wasn’t quite as nice as the Easter long weekend, but the kids and I are quite enjoying spring. We set out recently to run some errands on Yonge Street.

(Equipment Used: The following were shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and my beloved Canon 85 f1.2L lens, which gives such amazing bokeh!)

Heading downtown:

Capturing Rebecca here and there:

Noah brought along his wallet so he could do some shopping of his own:

Loving the light as the kids snack on orange freezies:

The next day Noah and I went to the park so he could bike:

(Equipment Used: The biking images were shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 70–200 f2.8L IS lens.)

So glad that spring has sprung!

Wonderful Summer Weather in April: Out & About, Toronto Family Photographer

Filed under: Life,Out & About — Tags: Canon, Children, family photographer, family photography, kids, lenses, photographer, Toronto — Holly @ 12:13 pm

For those that live in Toronto, wasn’t the weather over the Easter long weekend amazing? Summer in April, total bliss!

On the Saturday of the long weekend Rebecca came out with me to run some errands in the beautiful weather. (Equipment Used: The following were all shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and my beloved Canon 85 f1.2L lens, it gives amazing bokeh!)

One of my fave spots for photos in our ‘hood is under the train bridge, have used it often before (see here, and here, and here). Love how the red laces stand out!

The night before, we all celebrated the beautiful warm weather by going out to dinner, managing to snag a spot on the back patio at The Rebel House. After we went for dessert at My Favourite Ice Cream. (All of the following were shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens, except for the last photo of Rebecca eating ice cream, which was shot with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)
