Book your Fall Mini 2021

September 23, 2021

Fall Mini’s are here!

With limited dates and times this year, I don’t expect them to last long. These simple sessions are similar to my full sessions with some posed and some candid type images. As always, I want to capture each family in a natural way that can be displayed in your home and treasured for years to come.

Fall Mini’s aren’t for everyone (mini’s in general). If you’ve reached out in past you will know that I like families to consider their dynamic and personalities. Some kids (and men) take time to warm up to the camera and in these cases I would suggest a full session. Mini’s are 15 minutes long and if your loved ones need time to warm up to the camera or me, you will get better results (genuine smiles and variety) with a full session. That being said, I can get a ton of different images within that time frame with a little cooperation!

These spots are limited, but my policy with COVID is to change your date if there is illness, I do have last minute spots become available. If you don’t see a spot or the date you want, let me know and I can add you to the last minute waitlist.

There are 3 options for this years mini’s. Be sure to look at the description for each date to ensure you have picked the location you want. My fave light is the later spots – love the golden glow! Each mini is 15 minutes long and includes 5 high res digitals of your choice. Addtional can be purchase a la carte, as well as, prints and products!

Richmond Hill is a park with green and brown tones, tall grasses, some trees change colour and are usually in the distance.

Stouffville is a forrest with orange leaves that fall to the ground in a tree lined pathway.

Newmarket is at Country Cut Flowers and will have the peacock chair with fall florals. There are rolling hills and the chair is optional! Only one date currently available and only date with the chair.

*Locations are subject to change (but probably won’t).

Flower Farm Mini’s 2021

July 21, 2021

Flower Farm Mini 2021

Flower farm mini’s are back and almost sold out! Book now before it’s too late!

This yearly tradition is one of my faves and Country Cut Flowers never disappoints. Who doesn’t want to be surrounded by gorgeous flowers?! There are two options for these sessions with the barn setting and the field of flowers. The field is wide open so I have limited these spaces to the last three of each date. Unless we get overcast weather. The barn offers an old wood fence, barn with boards and stone as well as lots of flowers! This area is amazing for families with little ones who have an earlier bed time as it is shaded earlier and we don’t have to worry as much about golden hour times.

Limited spaces available on each date. Don’t delay in booking as these sell out every year!

August 16, 2021

August 24, 2021 – ONLY 1 Space available

Sept 14, 2021 – ONLY 3 Spaces Available

Family :: Pereira-Vincec

Family photography has changed a lot. It’s less structured, less about coordinating outfits, and more about capturing memories.

I love families with multiple children. The more the better. Yes there are more kids to wrangle, but the whole purpose of a session with me is to capture your family however they are. If your kids like to run? I’ll run with them. If they are shy? I have a few tricks up my sleeve for that too. Your husband hates his photo taken? I bet by the time he realizes what’s going on, we will have some amazing memories of him and his kids.

This family is no different. I was able to give a little guidance and let them do their thing. Kids will be kids and those smiles shine through when they are allowed to be themselves. Dancing, sparklers, collecting things along the path. All the little details make the final gallery tell the story like it should be. I had so much fun at this shoot and made some friends in the process. I really do love my clients and what I get to do for a living. Family photography is my new fave session!

Family :: Henechowicz

Family portraits are quickly becoming an annual thing for a lot of families. Little ones grow so fast, families change, furry friends are added. Unlike in the past, these sessions are less posed and more about capturing the individual family for who they are. All those things that make them unique and make them so amazing. Moments like sisters holding hands, mom and dad laughing at a toothless grin, or even kids seeing their parents hugging and laughing. It’s less about the perfect smiling photo (which I still try to capture) and more about the moment. More about the details that make a family who they are. Sessions shouldn’t be cookie cutter as no two families are alike.

This little family was such a pleasure to work with. Despite a slight fear of sparklers, the moments we captured will last a life time. Missing teeth, shyness, baby number 3 waiting to be announced. It’s why I love photographing families so much! Family portraits never looked so good!

Harris Family Session

March 29, 2017

Family Sessions are my fave. I get to see a side of parents I don’t normally see. I know the online version, I know the ones I talk to on the phone, but when you meet and see them with their kids it’s totally different. Crazy how ‘littles’ change us all!

When Ashleigh booked her session she knew what she wanted, did her research and loved what she saw. Amazing right! That’s what I want for all my clients. To be excited for their session and to have my images on their walls. Then I found out both her and her husband are in the creative industry. Talk about pressure! Some families just want updated photos on their walls or to share with family, but when you know what you want and have expectations and an eye for it…..total game changer! Whatever the reason for your session I want my families to love the final images and I suck with pressure (pressure I create in my own head – I’m sooooo good at that). I just do what I love and hope they do too.

Quite smitten with the whole session. Conquered a little bit of fear I guess. Granted with such sweet little boys, who behaved better than most, and cute easy going parents, my job was easy. Too easy. Still I love these images and wish I had similar ones on my wall now. Time to book our own session I think!
