Christy & Daniel & Ellia | Markham Unionville Family Session

Big sister alert - Ellia's going to be a big sister! And her excitement cannot be contained!

We had so much fun meeting and photographing Christy, Daniel and Ellia down Markham Unionville. Ellia had so much running around the park and saying hi to each doggy that passed by and was not shy! At times, mom and dad would even have to go chase after her. This makes a really fun family photo for them! (Secretly, I think she thought mom and dad was just playing with her but really they were trying to keep her safe haha oh little Ellia!) When we asked about the baby, she quickly pointed at mommy’s belly! Wow, this girl really knows where her younger sibling is!

With the help of Ellia’s Auntie Sandy being presence with us looking after the little runner, we had some time to do a few quick maternity portraits with just mom and dad. But of course, Ellia wanted to be included as well and ran circles around mom and dad! She’s so sweet!

We headed over to an ice cream shop on Main Street Unionville and treated little Ellia to ice cream for the FIRST TIME! Of course she loved it! Not too much into sharing but finally learned to share her treat with mom and dad and fed them one at a time. Already she’s going to know how to take care of her younger sibling and even share her items with them! We can’t wait to see their interactions in the near future!

Thank you Christy, Daniel and Ellia for such a wonderful time together and having us document your beautiful family moments!

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!
