Family Photographer Toronto | Hubers at Todmorden Mills

Aah, the absolute JOY I feel when I get to keep seeing my amazing couples as they continue their life journeys! It’s been so amazing to see Kwan Yu & Jimmy go from engaged to married to expecting to parents! And their li’l bub Harriet is SO CUUUTE! I love the face she makes when she is super excited & happy! She is just lovin’ on life in some of these photos!

The drool shot with Jimmy is pretty hilarious too – Jimmy’s face when it was coming down made me laugh!
And she’s at a stage where she is grabbing at Kwan Yu’s hair a lot so I’m glad we got some images of that – little moments to bring these proud parents back to this season of life when they look back on these images.

I love that so much about photos – they have such a powerful impact, and remind us of even the simplest moments that can truly warm our hearts when we see them years later. That’s why I think it’s so worth it to make time to take photos. Time flies, things change so fast and so much. (Also remember to print them! Because technology also changes so much over time but prints can always be pulled out and held.)

It threatened to rain all morning and then it did so we temporarily rescheduled the shoot, but then it stopped after not too long so we decided to go for it anyway! The cool air after the rain was actually quite a welcome change after some intense heat the preceding couple of weeks. The breeze was lovely, the air smelled fresh, and the cloud cover actually created some really lovely diffused light.

I love these photos so much, loved spending time with this fam again!

The Duggans – Candid Toronto Family Photography

March 14, 2017

Rose e-mailed me because she wanted to take photos with her siblings, nieces and dad – They were all in Toronto and it’s very rare for them to all be in the same place at the same time.
Recently, her sister just moved back to the city and soon, her brother would be leaving for school in Australia.
Of course I was excited to photograph them all being together. I love being able to document people with the people that matter most.

We went to Cedarvale Park, and basically just walked around and spent some time together. There were a few posed portraits, and there was a lot of observing and capturing them as they are.

Goofy faces, accidental falls, slobbery kisses and all.

My heart was really full being present to photograph this for them.
Truthfully, I get a bit teary-eyed thinking about their future selves looking back on this rare day they had together with these photos.

Duggan family, thank you for inviting me to spend the afternoon with you. It was an absolute joy and privilege.

Toronto Family Photographer | Ali, Marijan, Oskar & Luka

December 29, 2016

Ali, Marijan, Oskar and Luka are the sweetest family.
This session was a family and engagement session rolled into one – I love that they wanted to include the boys in their engagement photos since they are such a big part of their lives.
We went to Toronto’s High Park during the heigh of fall, as the leaves were changing to brilliant hues of yellow and orange. The leaves had started falling off the trees, coating the ground in colour. It was a perfect day for a fall family session!

Of course the inner child in me HAD to suggest playing with the leaves. And of COURSE the boys were excited about that.

We walked around, and took photos as we played – it was such fun.

I really love family photography – it means so much to me that I get to capture such happy memories.
Hope you enjoyed checking out some of my faves from this session!

Fall Family Session at Cedarvale Ravine

January 15, 2016

This sweet family came to me through a gift certificate given to them by one of their friends.
When I got the e-mail asking if I could do that I thought it was such a thoughtful gift! This is something that will last – they will be able to revisit these photos when their little boy isn’t quite so little anymore.

I didn’t realize they were also Greek, and they talked to their son in Greek as well. It was sort of neat to be walking around doing a session and talking in another language. Exercise for the mind!

We had a great time exploring one of my favourite places in the city, Cedarvale Ravine.
Here are some of my favourites from our time together!

Location: Cedarvale Ravine, Toronto (Near Bathurst & St. Clair)
Season: Fall
Month: October

Family photos that are taken in the Fall are great not just for cozy frameable photos, but also for your holiday cards!

September and October are great months because it’s still warm enough that your kiddos won’t get too chilly and uncomfortable, which helps tonnes! (It also gives you enough time to order, address and send out your holiday cards.)

If you’re thinking you’d like to do a similar type of shoot, I’d love to hear from you! Dates book up quickly (half a year in advance much of the time for the warm months) so get in touch today!

Toronto Family Photography – Laura, Zach + Madison

January 14, 2016

This little lady!
With bright, excited eyes and one of the biggest smiles you’ve ever seen, she will instantly win your heart.
She is teeming with energy, and it comes out and little wiggles and happy squeals. She is quite a character already.
It was so great to meet Madison.
It is especially heartwarming for me to photograph this beautiful child because she is the daughter of two incredibly wonderful people, Laura and Zach, whose engagement session, wedding, and maternity session I had the complete honour of photographing.
It’s hard for me to put into words the feeling of warmth I’m filled with when I think about this family. I love spending time with them, and I am so humbled that they continue to invite me to document their life’s joyous moments.
Aaaah, I just got another wave of happy.
I love you guys.
I hope these photos bring you and Madison lots more smiles through the years. <3
