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!

Alice Update: Toronto Cat Photography

Filed under: Alice the Cat,Family Pet Photography — Tags: cat, family pet photography, photography, Toronto, Toronto Pet Photography — Holly @ 2:23 pm

Haven’t updated the blog with photos of Alice lately, so here’s a bit of a catch-up. 🙂

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

I was lucky to be one of the winner’s of Patti Brown’s new Supernatural Texture set, so thought I would put it to use in this blog posting. I applied a few different texture’s from Patti’s set, as well as a frame (from another source):

More textures!

Alice discovered a new spot to hang out, on a shelf (built overtop of the rad), in the bathroom:

Another one with the Supernatural Textures applied:

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:
