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.

Mini Session – York Region Flower Farm

This year’s Flower Farm Mini’s are half sold out! Don’t wait to book your spot as they are limited. Due to popular demand for golden hour I have limited each night to just three spots. If you are hoping for a little earlier please contact me HERE for more info. The barn has the cutest corner with vines, flowers and obviously old stone and wood. It’s super pretty and you don’t need to worry as much about the sun.

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!

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.

Twins Photographer – family session at Country Cut Flowers

I get a lot of clients wanting studio sessions for their little ones. They think confined space will make it easier and less for them to get into. That’s where I disagree. Kids are more like themselves when they can explore and run. When they are allowed freedom and don’t have giant lights in their faces.

This 2 year old duo definitely gave me a good work out. It’s hard enough to chase one small child, try two! If you have twins I’m sure you’re laughing right now. When one was happy, the other wasn’t. When one wanted up, so did the other. When one didn’t want to sit, time for the other to jump up and run away. All that being said, how stunning is this session. Their little faces are beaming and you would never know how much a workout this was.

I love when parents let me go with the flow. Trying to control kids is next to impossible. Any parent knows that. Yet for some reason, myself included, we think during the session things will be different lol. I’ve done a dozen sessions with my own family and it wasn’t until last year that I just let it go and went with it. Not the easiest thing to do, but I love how natural the images are. How they reflect my kids at this time in their life. My hope is for everyone to just go with it. Trust me to capture your family exactly as you are.

Maternity Session :: Sandy and Rakesh

Maternity Photographer – Richmond Hill

So how cute are these two? I love doing maternity sessions and remember the excitement when I did my own. We don’t necessarily feel at our best, but the excitement of adding to the family shows. I never believed in a pregnancy glow per sey, but I do believe that the love a family has for their child shows through. With maternity sessions being focused on the bump, it really brings that out. The sweet smiles, the excitement, the laughter. It really does make parents glow.

This family was awesome to work with. It felt like old friends, yet we just met. Their sweet demeanour made me wish the night wouldn’t end. That and we had the best light lol. You know me and my golden light!

Can’t wait to meet their little one. I just know I’m going to fall in love!

Update: He is the cutest ever! Check out his session Here.

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!

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 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!
