Paola & Davor & Sophia | Toronto Trillium Park Family Photos

What a beautiful family to photograph!!! Seriously though, I’m like over the moon when I was hanging out with them!

Paola reached out to me earlier this year for a family session when lockdown gets lifted. As soon as we were in Stage 1, we were in communication to plan for their perfect family portraits! We’ve considered lavender fields, sunflower fields, neighbourhood park and we ended up at the Trillium Park with a great blend of the city skyline and greenery space. With COVID19 preventing many people from visiting friends and families across borders, Paola wanted a photo of her family and the city skyline to send as postcards to their families and friends around the world and we did just that! (But don’t let these photos fool you, Trillium Park is a very busy spot and it was never empty like what’s in the photos. Lol)

Sophia was shy at first but quickly warmed up with some of her favourite Disney songs! She started dancing, jumping and exploring the whole park. She loved her liberty to run around and less of smiling at my camera (I don’t blame her, I would too explore this new environment) but we’ve managed to play a game and have her smiling for me. I loved their family interaction; mom and dad would sing along with her and doing the actions. They definitely were a playful family and enjoyed every bit of their time together. Any day, I would document these candid moments again.

Thank you Paola, Davor and Sophia for a great evening that I got to spend with you and capture your family love!

Venetia & Sam & Jayden & Baby | Scarborough Bluffs Family Session

A summer evening well spent at the Scarborough Bluffs with this lovely family. It was a long time coming for our family session with them because COVID lockdowns and restrictions delayed us so so much! But we finally got to meet up with Venetia, Sam, Jayden and the newest addition family member!

As always, Scarborough Bluffs was crowded with many people who just wants to be out with friends, families and loved ones after so many months of lockdown. We picked a spot that was perfect for the stroller to park, the picnic blanket to be set out, and the family to be photographed. Can you tell at all that there were others at the beach with us? ;)

We were worried that Jayden would be tired and sleepy during our session, but he surprised us with all the energy in the world! He was so good and followed instructions very well. He jumped and ran a lot. We even got him to run and look back at the same time, he was good at multitasking! But I bet you his favourite was when he was on top of daddy’s shoulders - just look at all the laughs he had! Lol.

It was a lot of fun photographing these lovely smiles and their playful interactions as a family. Thank you Venetia, Sam, Jayden and baby for having us capture your family portraits and spending a beautiful evening with us!

Christine & Tyler & Mia | By the Waters Fun Family Session

We met Christine, Tyler and Mia for the very first time in-person at their family photo session with us and OH EM GEE, they’re like a superstar family! Both Christine and Tyler are so sweet and polite. Christine and I have already been chatting on Instagram prior to our shoot and she is a doll to talk to! She intentionally made a stop to pick a small Thank You gift for us on the way to the session. Tyler was giving parenting tips to Warden in between our photographing time hahaha! ( I wonder when we will get to use them!) Mia is the cutest, she would make friends to everyone that passes by our photoshoot location, whether dogs or people they couldn’t resist to stop and say “Hi” to her! Mia’s smile melted our hearts right away.

We started off the session with Mia a little bit camera shy, but Warden and I acted so silly that she eventually warmed up to us. (Haha good thing only Christine and Tyler got to see it and no one else we really know saw us do that.) Later on, she was able to smile directly at the camera and even danced for us! When we said our good-bye’s at the our cars, Mia started to cry as she saw us walked away towards our car. Christine said she already misses us and she didn’t stop crying until 10 mins later on the road. Awwhhs, we’ve missed them already!

Thank you Christine, Tyler and Mia for having us document your family portraits and spending this lovely evening with us. We can’t wait to continue our friendship with you and capture more memories for your growing family!

MAPLE & BRYANT | Mint Room Studios Floral Maternity Session

Maple & Bryant’s maternity session was beautiful at the Mint Room Studios with floral dresses and pink balloons on welcoming their baby girl. WOW! Maple at 35 weeks and yet still filled with so much energy! We met them both for our first time at the studio that day and her high energy was definitely contagious! The balloons they brought as props sure added a lot of fun to our session! Be sure to scroll down to see the joy they share as an anticipation of parenthood.

They were both so easy going and lovely! It was great working with these two!

EUNICE & GEORGE | Toronto Minimalistic Mint Room Maternity Session

It was an honour to have photographed a local family blogger: Eunice and George! They are both excited for their second baby girl on the way and so is little Rosie! She sure added a lot of fun into the session! She ran around barefoot exploring the space, inviting herself into photos, watching mommy and daddy pose and even helping us set up props! Little Rosie is ready to be a big sister!

This spring maternity/family session was perfect at the Mint Room Studio as it was still chilly outside in May. Though it was chilly outside but may be a bit too warm inside, and thankfully the staff had left a fan in the studio room a day before so we got to utilize it when we arrived. Hehe, we may not have used the fan for temperature purposes but more for creativity purposes for the photo session. It was unplanned, but that’s the best part right? Scroll down to see what we have done ;)

And congratulations again to George, Eunice and little Rosie on the new addition to the family!
