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.

 

Sandra & Rob // Inn on the Twenty Wedding // Niagara-on-the-Lake Wedding Photography

Sandra & Rob had a beautiful and intimate Inn on the Twenty wedding on a bright, sunny afternoon in July. The ceremony was at the Cavespring vineyard and the reception was held at the Inn on the Twenty. Sandra is my friend Michelle’s sister-in-law. I also photographed Michelle & Remi’s wedding last year. So it was great to see some familiar faces.

The vineyard setting was romantic and perfect for the intimate ceremony. I really think that when it comes to settings for a wedding, simple is the way to go. When you have a beautiful and simple setting, you don’t have much more decorating to do. The reception was held in the cellar at the Inn on the Twenty. The food was simply delicious! Normally I don’t drink anything alcoholic while I shoot a wedding, but I had a few sips of their Cabernet Franc before I left, and it was also delicious :) I’m still thinking about the wine now…

Congrats you guys, wishing you nothing but happiness!

Amanda, Duncan & Georgia // Mississauga Family Photographer

Amanda & Duncan are friends of Justin & Ming (and sweet Dash). Naturally, I was thrilled when she contacted me a few months ago for a photo session! Even better when I found out they have a sweet little girl named Georgia. I’d been photographing lots of little boys up to that point!

We had to reschedule our session and postpone it by almost a month because of rain, but boy it was worth it to have that nice golden light near sunset. :) We went down to the waterfront in Mississauga and just had ourselves a play date, swings and all. I really do think the best way to capture children is having them in their element: playing and having fun. Although I’m starting to think that maybe 3 is the age where they start to pose a little for the camera unprompted ;)

Thank you Amanda & Duncan! You have such a wonderful family and have a beautiful and vivacious little girl!

Oliver: 1 Year Old {Sneak Peek}

I met Tanya, Tom, Oliver and Scruffy recently for Oliver’s 1 year photo session, which I was really looking forward to! Since the last time I saw little Oliver, he was just 6 months old.

Here are just a few sneak peeks! The rest are coming soon. :)

Leena + Sanjay + 1 // Burlington Maternity Photographer

I met Leena almost 5 years ago now. I had met her through work and she is honestly one of the most genuinely nice people I’ve ever met. She’s funny, generous and a great listener. Through these 5 years, I’ve witnessed her getting married to Sanjay, the love of her life, and now they are having a little girl together!

For this maternity session, or as I call it, Belly session*, we went down to the waterfront in Burlington and had ourselves a little picnic with sparkling juice and some fantastic sweets (mmm chocolate covered strawberries!) :) Both Leena and Sanjay love food, so it was fun to incorporate that element of who they are as a couple into the photo session.

Leena & Sanjay, thanks so much for having me take these photos for you! I hope I have captured some precious memories that you will look back at fondly and show your little girl photos of when she was still in Mommy’s tummy! xo

*I find the word “maternity” a little funny…or maybe I’m just a little funny :D
