GTA photographer specializing in family photography – Reserve your date

I haven’t seen this family in years. Actually since these two were 6 months old and it was so cool to see how both have grown. They say kids grow fast and they do. Especially when you haven’t seen them in a while. I know with my own, just a weekend away and it seems like years of growth. Personality and hight.

Over the years I have gotten away from driving to the GTA. York Region seems so much safer to drive in (I hate crowds including crowds of cars lol) and I made a decision to limit my sessions to my area. To my surprise many of my Toronto and GTA clients are happy to make the trip up north. I mean, getting out of the ‘crowds’ is always a nice treat and to come to such a beautiful wonderland makes the experience that much better.

There are a lot of images I wish I had of my own family. Images I took of others and can’t do with a tripod. I keep saying I will try again, but it really tests my family’s relationships lol. Like really puts our patience to the test.  Every year I have another photographer do our session and I get stunning images I plaster all over my walls, but it’s hard to see other sessions and not want what they have. It’s hard as a photographer to have a vision and capture it yourself. Maybe if I had those magical kids (and husband) that knew just how to pose and behave when I’m in control.

That being said, I have so many wonderful images from friends that I will cherish forever. And as I tell my clients, just let your family be your family and your true selves will show in the photos. No two families are alike and no two sessions will be either!

The Rossnagle Family

Fall photography is like nothing I ever expected.  I had no clue that I would get so many calls to do family photos in the leaves.  Nor did I ever pay attention to when the leaves started to change colour each year. Then again this whole photography thing has made me open my eyes to a lot of things I never paid attention to.  Like the direction of the sun, hight of trees, shade, shadows, foliage, randomly parked cars, rocks… you get the picture.  Just went through life with my eyes half open.  My mother used to see the beauty in the leaves and nature but I just thought she was crazy.  ‘It’s just a tree’ I would say when she would name them.  Most famous tree of all was the Christo’fur’ tree.  If you don’t get it… just think a little harder.

When Lorysa said her family was going to be in town and she wanted to book her session it was still summer.  She wanted a fall time slot. No problem I thought. My schedule is wide open.  Good thing she contacted me early because the closer it got the more calls that came in. I didn’t realize how popular fall was for family sessions.

I love shooting families.  Dynamics are so different and you never know if your going to get a close knit family or one that smiles because I told them to.  Not the Rossnagles.  These guys were fun and willing to try anything.  I just love that.  Oh and when I say get close they snuggle right in.  Wish all all families were this close! I walked away from this session with a big smile on my face.
