Over the years I have don’t so many family portrait sessions but my latest one with Michelle and her family was probably one of the most unique ones yet. Their family happens to be the Cosbey Quintet and they wanted formal (and casual) portraits of their entire group, which obviously consisted of 5 total people.

The Chanterelle - Corporate Photos
The Chanterelle is definitely one of the nicest venues in town to host events, so when they approached me to do some headshots and corporate photography of their employees and venue, I jumped at the chance. Only some of the employees need headshots so once we finished those we did some candid photos and some action shots as well. It all took place in the back lounge which is personally my favourite part of the entire building. I had been there on a few occasions on weddings and events that I have photographed in the past.

Ashlyn + Family Portraits
My last portrait session of 2018 was one to remember. I think it will go down as the largest hour family session I have ever done, ever. It was Ashlyn’s Dad’s 80th birthday so the whole family was there, and it was so great to see. I laughed because it was almost like an assembly line when we were in the backyard. I would photograph one family and the next would be waiting to go next. I am no way complaining, and I just loved how efficient and organized Ashlyn and her family were. It could have easily taken 1 hour to just get all the groupings done but we did in a little over a half hour.

Leshya Family Portraits - Tree Farm
Winter is quickly becoming my favourite time of year for portrait sessions. It’s hard not to like it when you get to spend an hour at the snowy tree farm with a family like Leshya’s. Here parents were visiting from out of town for a short while so we planned this session over a month ago to make sure we can get some portraits of everyone. Plus, Leshya is 8 months pregnant, so that’s another reason to get some photos as well. Oh, and it’s also Christmas Eve .. so why not right?

Kimberly + Family Portraits
Kimberly and her family invited me out to their house in the country to capture some portraits of everyone and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to do so. The drive out there was beautiful and once I pulled into the driveway and saw the house I was amazed how beautiful it was too! I knocked on the door and was greeted by Kimberly. Everyone was just finishing up getting ready so I used those few minutes to scope out the property and look for interesting backdrops which was definitely very easy to come by.

Kayla + Family Portraits
Kayla was given a gift certificate for a one hour session with me and we decided to take the photos this past weekend. They have a house right on Lake Superior so it was the perfect setting. I always enjoy big family shoots the most because there is just so much variety. Plus, whenever kids are involved, it makes it that much more fun. I just love photographing kids.

Alex Portraits - Tree Farm
This past Sunday I had a great time with Alex, his girlfriend and another friend at the Tree Farm. It was a 30 minute session and it went by fast but the resulting photos turned out great. The reasoning behind the session was because Alex’s mom essentially ordered him to get updated portraits as a Christmas present. So we had a good laugh at that at the beginning of the session.

ONWA Family Portraits - Christmas
Earlier in the week I did one of my recurring portrait sessions at ONWA. This time around there were 4 families which ended up being plenty. It allowed a bit more time for each family which resulted in even more photos than usual. Seeing as how it was pretty cold out, we decided to just set up indoors. As much as I love how the outdoor photos turn out, it just made much more sense to do it inside, especially with the families with babies.

Heather + Family Portraits - Mission Marsh
Even though winter is here, it hasn’t been ‘too’ cold so it’s great being able to get out and so some portraits sessions. This past Sunday, I met up with Heather and her family down at the Mission Marsh. I figured this time of year it would be quite pretty with the snow and it indeed was. From the trails to the beach area to the boardwalks, there are plenty of different spots to take advantage of. It is right on Lake Superior so there are certain spots that can get quite windy. Luckily, I always try and keep things moving.

Zaylee Mae Cake Smash Session
Zaylee Mae will be turning one very soon so her mom Brittney decided it would be a good opportunity to do a cake smash! Using the word smash may be a bit generous, but you get the idea. Zaylee Mae definitely needed a bit of encouragement to even touch the cake which was quite funny. For the first few minutes she just stared at it, not really knowing what to do. Once Brittany gave her a little taste of the cake Zaylee settled right in.

Amanda + Serge + Norah - Christmas Portraits
I am planning to run an ugly sweater portrait special very soon so what better way to get some promo photos for it then to ask our close friends Amanda and Serge and of course Norah to model for me. I have photographed them outside a few times so this was the first time I was able to get them into the studio. Norah was ready to go from the beginning. I could have easily photographed her for a couple hours.

Kaylee + Carter Studio Session
I have done a few portraits sessions of Kaylee and Carter but they have all been outdoors. This was the first time I had them inside my studio and I was super excited. Not that I don’t like outdoor portraits, it was just a nice change to do them in the studio. This one was just a quick mini session, but as usual, we packed a lot into it.
