Document Love: Hayley & Mark // Toronto Engagement Photography

Hayley & Mark are getting married on Sunday! When I first met them back in November, on a chilly evening, we sat and talked about their wedding plans, how they met, their story. Somewhere in the conversation, we discovered that Hayley’s dad is good friends with one of my psychology professors from University of Toronto. It really is a small world.

I adore these two. They are so genuinely kind, they make each other laugh and they inspire the best in each other. For their Document Love/engagement session, we went to High Park on a warm Spring evening. Hayley & Mark live just down the street and often take their cute pup, Pixel for walks there.

Sunday is going to be amazing, because that’s what happens when you’ve got great people and lots of love.

Document Love: Simona & Daryl {A Relaxed Engagement Session at Home}

If you missed the sneak peek from Simona & Daryl’s relaxed engagement session, it’s here.

What can I say about these two love birds? They are so in love and so cute. They make each other laugh and absolutely adore each other, and their cute Boston Terrier, Oreo. From the first time I met them, I knew that we would work well together. :) For their engagement session, they really wanted something unconventional and non-posey, which is exactly how I feel about “engagement photos” as well. So we crafted a custom session for them that included a walk in the park where Daryl proposed, as well as some down time at home doing things they love and just hanging out. I really enjoyed documenting all of it.

Thanks guys, for letting me share a little part of your Sunday and I can’t wait to photograph your wedding at the Royal Botanical Gardens in June! You are perfect together and your home is so lovely. Enjoy the photos!

Their sweet engagement session at home has been featured on The Wedding Co!

Oliver: 1 Year Old // Toronto Family Photographer

Oliver is 1 year old! Well he’s actually 14 months old now. :) I can’t believe how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday that I took photos of this lovely family when Oliver was just a wee newborn, and again when he was just 6 months old. It’s been an honour to document them at these 3 different stages in Oliver’s first year. For this session, we went down to the Sunnyside Park in the early morning and caught some golden early morning light.

Time and time again, I’m surprised by how much personality the little people exhibit at such a young age. I’ve learned a lot in the past year, and for Oliver’s 1 year session, I learned that once they can walk and run, you better learn to catch up! There is just so much to explore.

Thanks so much guys! It’s been incredible to be able to document these moments for you in the past year.

“Blow kisses Oliver!”

Scruffy was going crazy trying to get to the water…and finally!

I’m pretty sure Scruffy had just eaten a bubble in this picture. Everyone is in awe.

Mother & son: so sweet.

 

Karla & Steve // High Park engagement photos

If you know me, you know that I like High Park. And High Park in the Spring when the Cherry Blossoms bloom is probably High Park at its best. So I was very excited to have been able to take photos for Karla and Steve there in April. Although the park was heaving with people that afternoon, we managed to find some quiet spots and make it all our own. I’m really looking forward to their wedding in a month – especially seeing Karla in her gorgeous gown.

We just returned home after a month’s traveling post-wedding, I’m sufficiently dark despite my efforts with sunscreen, and have tons of photos to go through. I’ll be posting some photos soon, and sharing some of our wedding planning experience as well.

Enjoy the photos!

Recently

Things have been pretty hectic for the past little while! Between wedding planning, moving and running a business, it’s taken up most of my time! In the next little while, I will have a couple of sweet engagements on the blog and some really cute babies too.

Here’s just a sneak peek!

Oliver {6 months} // Toronto Baby Photographer

Little Oliver is now 7 months old! I can’t believe how time flies and how much babies grow in such a short amount of time! It’s kind of neat really.

Here are my favs from Oliver’s 6-month-old photo session. We talked and played, well, I talked with Tanya and Tom, and Oliver changed outfits like a pro. I have to say, I’m really enjoying documenting the little guy’s first year at regular intervals. Next time we meet, Oliver will be a year old. I can’t wait for our 1-year birthday shoot!
