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!

Toronto Family Photographer – Cedarvale Ravine

September 9, 2015

As a Toronto family photographer I get to meet and spend time with some really special people who fill my heart right up.

The amount of love that radiates from parents for their children is unparalleled – it makes me well up just thinking about it – it’s just so beautiful.
And the care-free, unabashed playfulness and massive smiles from the kids is somethin’ else.
Though I primarily photograph weddings, a big part of why I do what I do is to document the joy and love in life – so naturally families have to be a part of that!

I was so excited when Allyson and Stacey contacted me for Quinn’s second birthday shoot. I had a wonderful time photographing her first birthday session last year, and it was so neat to see how her personality has developed and how much she’s grown!

Thanks so much for inviting me to spend time with your sweet family again, ladies! It’s always so great to see you!

Christa & Jorden’s Fall Family Session

October 22, 2014

I was so excited for this photo session!
Christa and Jorden were one of my first wedding couples back in the day (they’re the couple surrounded by greenery in the Facebook page cover photo!), and now they’ve got a 3 month old daughter! Amazing how time flies!

It was so wonderful to see them again and to spend time with their incredibly patient and good-spirited baby. Despite it being cold, rainy, and SO windy, Zoe was a champ. I mean it – At one point she had wind blowing so strong it was going up her and Christa’s noses, and she barely budged.
No tears from this happy-go-lucky baby at all, despite the crazy weather.
What a trooper!

It was wonderful to see Donna (Christa’s mom) again as well. Oh, how she dotes on her grand daughter. She emanates pure JOY being with her. So beautiful to behold.

Despite the crazy weather we managed to have a great time and take some lovely photographs. Thanks for a lovely time, you guys!

Fall Family Shoot!

October 7, 2014

Evelyn and Tasso are two sweet, kind, warm souls who I’ve always known to be so positive, optimistic and good-natured.

When they asked me to photograph their family I was thrilled! It had been a while since I’d seen them and my little cousins, and I was excited about spending time with them.

Their kids Theo and Andreas are so sweet! Theo was a fantastic role model big brother who was totally no-fuss and so excellent in front of the camera, and Andreas was an energetic, spunky fireball of silly who made me laugh the entire time.

I told them their session was totally easy peasy since their super big family love radiates and makes what I do so fun and almost effortless. I had such a great time photographing their beautiful family!

Thanks for a wonderful time, you guys!

Baby Logan – 6 Days Old

July 14, 2014

To spend time with such a delicate, beautiful new life is beyond magical. Although Logan was only 6 days old, he was moving and twisting and attempting to roll around – was so hard to believe he was less than a week old! So cool.

Here are some of the photos I took of him between his energetic moving about. I’ll always treasure this session and look forward to photographing more babies in the future!!

Also, how adorable is the love Logan’s two siblings Mia and Mason have for their new little brother? They kept saying ‘my baby’ and going over to kiss and hug him. So beautiful.
