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!

JHESSA & SHAKEEL | Scarborough Bluffs Pink Maternity

Jhessa and Shakeel, our beautiful parents to-be! OH, how fun it was to capture this exciting moment for them as we explored our way through the winding paths at the beautiful bluffs. As we made our way down to the beach destination we got to know them better and we couldn’t help but feel a warmth and friendliness to them, as we know many of their family and friends likewise feel! Just the week before many of their friends and family visited them with a socially distanced drive by baby shower! They made sure to keep safe by scheduling a safe spread of visitors through the day. It was very well organized and we know that Jhessa and the baby must have felt an extra kick of excitement from all the love! With all this fun a maternity session would be perfect to capture these memories for future reminders. Jhessa and Shakeel also bought some unbearably cute booties to keep their baby girl warm. These two are going to be amazing first time parents and we can’t wait to capture their new born photos! Stay tuned!

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!

JANET & SIMON | Mint Room Maternity Session

Meet Janet and Simon the parents-to-be to that baby who will reveal the gender on the day of delivery! How interesting IS THAT! As you will see, we have all the bases covered, with some blue tones for the baby boy theme and pink-floral tones for the baby girl theme. Speaking of pink florals; the dress that Janet is wearing arrived just two days before our photoshoot (thanks to Amazon Prime)! She wasn’t too sure about the fitting and how well it would work with this session, but thankful for her trust in our creativity, she loved the dress photos the most! Woohoo! Love it when our clients put their trust in us to create something elegant and fun for them! If you know Simon, you would know that he is a big Toronto Maple Leaf fan, so of course we had to capture their jerseys for papa, mama, and the baby for this session! So adorable! We can’t wait to meet and photograph their newborn session with more Leafs and hockey props later this month!
