Family :: Stevenson

August 4, 2022

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!

Newborn Photographer Richmond Hill

I have been photographing this family since they got engaged. Seems like forever ago now that we met for coffee and talked about their big day. I even did their winter engagement session while I was pregnant. Nothing like trying to squeeze into snow pants with a baby belly!

Fast forward two kids later and we still stay in touch. It’s families like these that I grow with. We share similar experience around the same time and it means the world to me that they keep coming back.

Every so often I get requests for themed sessions. I secretly love them (and fear them) as there is a lot more thought that has to go into them. There is a creative element that makes my job interesting. It’s no secret these guys are Harry Potter fans and as with their first session, they requested incorporating it into their session. After a lot of back and forth, we decided to do something similar to their first newborn session, but with a different Howarts House. Last time we did the Gryffindor and this time it was Ravenclaw. You can check out their first session here and the most recent below. Love comparing the two! Now these guys need to have two more kids lol.

Family Session :: McNalley

March 30, 2017

Family Photographer based in North York Ontario

Family Sessions with older kids can go one of two ways. Teens and pre-teens tend to have their minds made up about how uncool taking photos with their parents is.  Fair, I was that way at one time.  However, this little family was amazing and it shows. One of the images from this session even made me cry!

One of my favourite parts of being a photographer is meeting people and getting to know them.  It can be a lonely job when you don’t have any coworkers but I have the most amazing clients which makes up for it.  Sometimes, like this one, I feel a connection I can’t explain.  Trish reminded me of someone special to me. The sweetness and general adoration for her kids is indescribable.  I know everyone loves their kids but for some reason it affected me differently.

Maternity :: Sandy & Chris

March 23, 2015

Maternity photography is always a lot of fun. I don’t believe that whole ‘you glow when your pregnant’ thing people all say.  If you’ve been pregnant you may know exactly what I mean!  But do believe beautiful people glow.  That was the case for this entire session.  Editing these images made me smile because in a short time this little family will be come just a bit bigger.  Pretty sure all of that made this session one of my easiest to date.  Ok maybe because these two are some of my favourite people.  But the sun light was working in our favour, the snow wasn’t cold, there was a warm breeze and the hills weren’t too high.  Nothing like watching a pregnant woman go up hill!  (I say that but I was just as out of breath)

I know I have said it before but photography has really given me a new outlook on everything.  I appreciate the beauty where I used to overlook it.  I am not outdoorsy but am in love with the old trees, the snow, the sun shining through the trees.  I actually see it now.  How long it took for the trees to grow that tall. How much effort is put into preserving the trails. And I actually see how beautiful a pregnant woman is.  How crazy is it that there is a baby in there! Sometimes we just need to stop and enjoy it all.  If your ever in Stouffville check out Eldred King Woodlands.  It’s definitely one I’ll be going back to!

Baby number two is due in May and I literally can’t wait. I’m putting my money on a girl but these two refuse to find out.  Kudos for being able to wait but I personally think your nuts!  Who in their right mind wants to torture themselves for 9 months waiting to find out if they can buy the cute tutu or little nikes.  Honestly, you guys are killing me!
