Family Photographer Toronto // Nicki & Brad + James & Emily

Nicki and I used to work together, years ago. Our desks were diagonally across from each other. Back then, she was freshly married and no kids yet. And now she has handsome James and sweet Emily. I met up with her and her beautiful family last summer and they had a family play date, while I tagged along and documented some memories. The below words from Nicki after she received the photos make my heart sing. Hey Janice,

Just want to say thanks for the amazing pictures. You truly were able to capture some meaningful moments that I know I will cherish forever. The presentation of the package was incredible. I am so impressed! I am also very happy for you that you are living out your dream. You are a true inspiration. Good luck with everything and thanks agin for a wonderful experience!!

Nicki :)

Thank you Nicki. Here’s to meaningful photos, moments that we can cherish forever, and living out our dreams.

Maria, Christian & Baby Kleo // Family Photographer Toronto

I love photographing families – to be invited into a snippet of their day to document some authentic moments. Maybe it’s a Sunday morning, maybe it’s going to your favourite park, maybe it’s cooking together. Whatever it is, pick something that you love doing together, something that’s “your thing”. I know life is busy and we don’t always feel we are at your best because we devote so much of our time and energy to keep everything running. But life is also precious, and it will just fly by if we don’t take a moment and pause sometimes. I won’t tell you to “stand there and just smile”. Your hair doesn’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to wear matching outfits (actually, please don’t!). It’ll just be relaxed and natural and I will capture something that not only looks good, but feels good as well.

On a sunny day in May, that’s exactly what I did with Maria, Christian and baby Kleo.

Alice, Wayne, Natalie & Katherine {Sneak Peek}

Alice and Wayne have two lovely little girls: Natalie & Katherine. I met them one Sunday afternoon for our photo session down by the Bronte waterfront. Here are just a few sneak peeks! The rest to come soon.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I, for one, have a lot to be thankful for this year.

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.
