Happy Hat Man

I know, as a professional, that I'm not supposed to have favourite clients; but when someone has been in front of your camera multiple times, it can be hard not to have a soft spot for them. Arlo is one of those people... probably because I've been taking pictures of him since before he was born when I did maternity pictures for his wicked cool parents, Seana & Braden. I swear, he gets cuter every time I see him! And he has the *best* collection of hats I have ever seen! The shots from this mini session were a gift for his dad's birthday, and very well received by the whole family.

Backyard Bliss

Somehow I missed posting these shots a few months ago when I spent an afternoon with this adorable family in their backyard here in Creemore. Ashley & Phil are so easygoing and their daughter Anneliese is becoming one of my favourite kids to photograph. She absolutely loves being in front of the camera, and always gives me huge smiles. Expect to see a lot more of them in the future, they hire me for everything!!

 

The Gowan Sisters

These two sisters wanted to give their parents some portraits for an anniversary present, seeing as they will both be away at school next year. We spent an hour in the later afternoon sun wandering around their grandparents farm in the Creemore hills. I think both Nicole & Carlee had a lot of fun during the shoot, and I'm glad they loved how the shots turned out; no doubt their parents are going to be very happy to have some nice photos to hang in the house once the girls have left for college.

 



 



 

Young Love

My youngest sister, Tatiana and her boyfriend Brandon wanted some couple portraits done, so even though it was the hottest day of the year, we set out to spend some time at Harborview Park in Collingwood.

The Wagner's

Vanessa and I have known each other since public school, so when she asked me to take some family portraits of her with her hubby and three kids, I was happy to oblige! We all spent a gorgeous summer day at the Sunset Point park in Collingwood, and the kids (Amylyn, Rebecca & Jakob) had a blast getting their picture taken. I loved how comfortable they were just playing around, grabbing my hand so we could walk in the water, or making silly faces at the camera.







 

We Are Family

I had a great day photographing this family yesterday, despite the heat and slightly overcast weather, we managed to get some fantastic shots. Lindsay and Carlo have been partners for a while now, so she wanted to get some nice pictures of the two of them and Carlo's children, Julia & Paul. This group brought their best smiles to the shoot, even though they said they had never sat for portraits before, and seemed very comfortable in front of the camera. We had some fun doing hilarious 'jumping' shots, and walking in the gorgeous Sunnidale Park for the afternoon.
