Mini Session :: Mc Tavish

July 15, 2023

Flower Farm Mini

Flower farm mini’s at Country Cut Flower will always be my fave. I get to meet so many families in a single day and see the excitement in each of them while they explore this adorable farm. Mini’s here only give you a small taste of the beauty this little farm holds, but it’s so worth it. Fresh air, vibrant colours and your family!  

Mini’s are short and sweet and perfect for families who want to update their wall art. Imagine these images printed large scale on your living room walls. So pretty!

With just a little cooperation we can get a gorgeous gallery that will brighten your home and capture your family just the way they are. 

2023 Flower Farm Minis are available for booking HERE

Newmarket Family Photographer

Flower farms aren’t just in the movies. I thought they were for the longest time. How could something so pretty actually exist. But they do. Country Cut Flowers is obviously my fave and no matter where we are on the property, the images come out stunning.

I’ve been photographing this family for 7 years now. Closer to 8 I think. It feels like I started this career not so long ago, but clients like this remind me it’s been a while.  Someone messaged me about their 2013 session and I’m still at a loss for words. It’s literally been at least 10 years since I started capturing families.  How?!

As the summer approaches and my calendar starts to fill up, I am reminded of all the families I have been lucky enough to meet. How many I am about to get to know and watch grow. Not every client comes back every year, but those that do have a special place in my heart.  It’s an honour to capture these memories for them and to be a part of it all year after year. It’s so amazing to see kids go from newborns to toddlers to little people with big personalities. I really do love what I do and think my clients are a huge part of it. Especially this family.

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!

GTA Family Photographer – Flower farm session

These are a few of my favourite things! Literally my bff and her family, the flower farm and a sunset. I could spend every night like this!

Country Cut Flowers is a hidden gem in York Region and this family made the trip all the way from the GTA (and made it on time) to capture some of the sweetest photos. As with every session, I want to ensue my families have images they want to blow up for their walls or print in albums. How stunning will these be in a collage on their living room walls?!

This summer our families went camping at the Pinery. If you know me, even just a little, you know that is not my jam. I wear 7 layers of bug spray to each session, freak out every time a critter rustles in the bushes and basically am a girly girl. I even stand on a stool in the long grass incase something slithers by.  As much as it isn’t for me, my kids love it (and my husband – but I don’t do it for him). It was so nice to spend more time with these guys. It was amusing to see how much their kids are just like their parents. Mini versions. I know our kids are like us, I laugh several times daily when they do something and it’s ‘SOOOO Me’ or ‘totally’ my husband. But to see mini versions of my bff and her husband was well worth the mosquitos and racoons.  It’s crazy to think back to when we met and where we are now in our lives. My heart is so happy to see our kids play together and being able to capture these gorgeous images for them is just a small gesture for all the years of friendship.

Flower Farm Family Session – York Region Photographer – Book Now!

How can you not love this place?! How can you not enjoy your session?! Even if the kids aren’t cooperating at least you are in a field of stunning flowers!

I have a few secret locations I love and this tops the list. Rolling hills, fields of flowers, beautiful big barn with old wood and stone and the freshest air around. After covid I have such an appreciation for fresh air and open spaces! I also have an appreciation for fellow small businesses that survived the last couple years and did it with a smile. Country Cut Flowers is honestly the cutest place on earth. It’s owned and run by a wonderful woman who has become a very close friend over the past couple years. I’m so lucky to be able to take clients to the farm and jump at the chance to capture stunning portraits like you see here.

If you haven’t booked your family session for 2022 shoot me a message and let’s get you booked in! Contact me HERE

Peony Patch Mini’s

August 4, 2022

Peony Patch Mini’s

They are back and even more limited with only a few spots available. After doing these sessions for a few years, I realize the importance of the light in an open field. Best light is always closer to sunset, but the way the Peony Patch is laid out, there is only few for a few families in a night.  What’s crazier to me is that they only bloom for a couple weeks so booking your session is important. I was only able to secure one evening this year and it will fill up fast! Book early to avoid disappointment.

Country Cut Flowers is an adorable family run flower farm in York Region. It has more types of flowers than I can count (and certainly more than I can name). With rolling hills, sun setting in the background, and fields of mixed flowers, it’s like you’re in your own hallmark movie. Kind of unreal and totally stunning. Selfishly, this is my favourite place to photograph families! Looking for something a little different? Follow the link below to book the main field (mixed flowers) and the Sunflower Patch.

Book your Peony Patch Mini HERE

Fun little fact – You can book tickets to cut your own flowers! Check out how HERE

York Region Photographer – specializing in family, maternity and newborn

There is a season between summer and fall that I love. Technically it’s fall, but it’s early fall when leaves haven’t changed yet. I agree the fall colours are gorgeous, but I love my greens. Like really love them.  So during this brief change of seasons, I try to book as many sessions as possible. The golden glow, the soft breeze, the perfect combo of everything that makes families happy.

There is a spot I found one day when I was wandering. No I’m not one to hike or even go for walks, but when I’m out, my head is on a swivel.  Just ask my husband about my rubber necking when we drive. There are so many potential spots for sessions, just requires some imagination and a little trust.  This location is just that.  Off the beaten path, but totally worth the extra effort. These logs, the sun poking through behind, the dirt path and the tree lined road that takes you there. I’m dying to go back.

Newborn photographer Richmond Hill

I have been photographing this family forever it feels like. I’ve been there to capture their newborns, milestones and holidays. These are my people! The bonds I have with my clients are really important to me and it’s always an honour when we work together. Being there for these special moments is honestly the best feeling.

I love snuggling babies and even more so when I have a connection to the family. When I found out mom was pregnant I was just about as excited when I found out I was having my own. Besides the fact that they make cute kids, they are the sweetest and trust my vision. When a client knows your work and says to do whatever you want, it is the best feeling. No pressure lol, but being creative and having so many ideas, it is a really great thing to hear.  I’ve been dying to play with fruit and a newborn session and so glad we did. Super obsessed with these!

I’d love to try lemons or blueberries. Maybe this year….Who wants join me?!

York Region Newborn Photographer

It’s a small world. I had no clue when this family contacted me that we actually live behind each other. Close enough that they can hear my crazy kids splashing in the pool all summer. Probably heard me telling the kids no to scream so much too! Anyone with daughters know that high pitch screech they do randomly.  I’m sure the whole neighbour hood has heard me begging them to stop making that ear piercing sound.  Anyway, it was great to officially meet this family and their newest addition.

With Covid, I have limited the number of newborn and milestone sessions I offer. We have been taking it seriously and especially with little ones, I want to be able to air out the studio and clean the props as best as possible.  I feel like I haven’t had baby snuggles in so long and could have just cuddled this little lady forever!

Maternity Session :: Peony Farm

June 29, 2020

York Region Maternity Photographer

I’m obsessed with nature. Maybe not so much the bug aspect, but the greens and florals. I love when the sun sneaks through the trees and gives that golden glow. The way the darks are brightened in just the right way to highlight features. I literally can’t handle a beautiful sundown without my camera in my hand. I also can’t handle not knowing what my maternity clients are having! Boy or Girl? I’m such a Pinterest mom I had to know lol.

With all the covid stuff happening and being trapped indoors for so long I had a lot of time to look for creative inspiration. No chance to put it to use…until now. I bought this peacock chair for Mother’s Day Mini’s and didn’t get to use it. As upset as I am about missing out on that, I embraced the extra time to make the idea that much better. Turns out it all worked out and I have an amazing set for families.

A huge thank you to Janet at Country Cut Flowers for letting me use her gorgeous property. The peony field was the perfect spot for this mama and for my new baby (aka the Peacock). This chair will be available for mini’s this summer and fall and as an add on to your regular session. So excited!
