Family :: VanGyzen

May 11, 2023

Markham Family Photographer

Sometimes we chase the sun and sometimes we try to outrun the rain. This was one of those threatening forecasts we all dread.

Every year I meet tons of families and get the chance to share in making memories with their little ones. This family books me every year and it makes me so happy to see their name pop up on my screen. We share a lot in common and even though people start out as clients, they become friends. I fall in love with their kids and enjoy interacting with them at our session.  It’s crazy how much easier a session can go when kids are into it. Or at least having fun.

Toogood Park in Markham is not where we planned to meet, but the drive there said we had to figure something out. As I was about to get to the park the sky opened up and I couldn’t even see the hood of my car. That feeling is the worst when you know your clients have spent time getting ready and prepping the kids. I’ve been on the other side, driving to our own session and seeing the sky turn dark grey.  So I get it.  Luckily we found a patch of clear sky and headed that way.  I had forgotten about this park. Pretty sure it’s been 6 yrs since I had been there.  But it worked. We avoided the rain, captured some adorable photos and got to catch up on life.

Curious about a session with me? Check out the behind the scenes video HERE

Family Photos :: Cousins

January 2, 2014

Family photos will always be one of my favourite things to shoot.  I wish back in the day my mom used a professional photographer. Maybe then half the heads wouldn’t be cut off or photos wouldn’t be blurry or have a finger across the lens.  Then again I wish she used a professional to cut my hair too.  She told me it’s cute that your bangs are crooked and choppy.  It’s the style.  Even before the world of DIY and Pinterest was around she thought she could do it just like the professionals.  Maybe one day I will share.  Maybe not.

When I got the email from these girls moms, I was excited to be shooting some of my husbands cousins kids.  I hadn’t really had a chance to get to know the mom’s as timing at family events just never really worked out.  So glad we finally got to chat as they are fantastic.  Don’t know why I would expect anything less from family but you just never know.  This brings me to how freaking cute their daughters are. Guess good genes run in the family!

As always the weather had a mind of it’s own and decided to rain just as we were starting the session. Grey skies can be a photographers best friend and worst enemy.  Glad we got do some outdoor shots…mind you the ones we got inside crack me up.  Just never know until your in the moment what’s going to work.

Would you believe when I was driving away the sun came out and it was that beautiful yellow glow that everyone wants for their photos. Never fails!  Thank you Mother Nature for being sooooo cooperative.  Don’t panic though.  These girls are too cute for a little rain to take down!
