I met this beautiful family on a gorgeous August evening in High Park.  Sweet little Sage was incredibly happy and easygoing which was a pleasant surprise since we were shooting very close to his regular bedtime!  We wandered around to a variety of spots in the park, but my personal favourite is under the willow trees next to the water.  Natasha and Sean came so well prepared with toys to entertain Sage and a picnic blanket to sit on.  It was a fun and relaxed evening with these three and an absolute pleasure for me to capture this stage in their family's history.

I met this beautiful family on a gorgeous summer night for their maternity session.  Jenny and Ryan are expecting their second baby boy next month!  I had a wonderful time capturing all the love and joy that holds these three together.  There was so much laughter, and the many fun antics from 3 year old Justin just brought this session to life.  His reactions to his parent's tickling him were so fun!  I can't wait to capture their first days with the baby behind Jenny's beautiful bump!

Meet Reshma and Irfan.  As soon as Reshma and I started emailing one another, I knew we would be fast friends!  Mainly because she suggested we play Friends trivia together (ummm, YES!) and was a fan of Kawartha Dairy ice cream, but also because her kind and laid back personality was apparent even through email.  I met Reshma and Irfan on the day of their baby shower at a family member's home, which as you can see was a gorgeous space and had an incredible backyard backing onto a small lake!  Such a fun place to shoot!  I can't wait to meet the sweet baby boy inside that belly and capture their brand new family love in a few short days!

I had the pleasure of meeting Andrea and Joe in early June, on a gorgeous golden evening, to capture their maternity photos.  They are one of the few couples I've worked with who are saving baby's gender for a surprise, and I can't wait to meet him or her when baby arrives this summer!  These two were very patient with me as we navigated some seriously gross mud (thanks to a rainy spring!), and when I had to take my sandals off to shake out all of the bugs.   I think it may be time to invest in a good pair of rubber boots!  But this beautiful couple and the gorgeous light more than made up for all that.  I look forward to the arrival of their baby and capturing their first days as a family of 3!

From our very first emails I knew Margaret and I were going to be fast friends!  She said that she could feel the love between the families in my photos, and wanted me to capture the love in her family as well.  What beautiful words for me to hear!  Margaret and Wes made this so easy for me, you'll see in the photos below that they just exude love for one another and for their baby girl who is set to make her appearance this month.  We did a mix of indoor and outdoor shots, and Margaret was such a trooper hiking around outside, which isn't easy when you're in your third trimester (at least from what I hear, I did no hiking in my third trimester, or in any trimester for that matter)!  I left our session relaxed, refreshed and feeling like I had just spent an evening with good friends.  What more can you ask for from a session?!  Margaret and Wes, I can't wait to capture your sweet baby girl when she finally arrives!
