Waiting is not easy | Toronto newborn + family photographer

I met this sweet family back in June when they were getting ready to meet their newest family member. They introduced me to the wonderful world of Gerald and Piggie and my girls and I will be forever grateful! 

The walk home from school | Toronto Family Photographer

A few weeks ago I tagged along with this family to document their after-school routine. Theirs is not like many others! Living in the heart of downtown, close to the lake, the kiddos go to preschool on Toronto Island and travel back and forth with their teachers on the ferry! We met them as they exited the boat, enjoyed a snack and I then followed them as they made their way home. An urban playground to say the least!

This City | Toronto Family Photographer

One of the many things that I love about this city is that you can be in the heart of the old Distillery District, surrounded by buildings, restaurants and stores – and then just minutes later on the beach with toes in the water and a view of the city skyline.

The trip to the beach during this session was completely impromptu. It was actually a pretty chilly morning when we started, but heading to the water turned out to be a great idea. The sun warmed us up and the girls taught me about sea glass. 

Celebrating 40 years! | Toronto Family Photographer

These four "kids" wanted to treat their parents to a family photo session in honour of their 40th wedding anniversary. Things have certainly changed since their original family of six!

We started on the street that they first lived on when they were married and then headed to the nearby local park.

9 adults and 6 kiddos.

One hot- sweaty-mess of a photographer. But well worth it!

Congratulations to this very sweet couple and the beautiful family they have raised together – they're certainly inspiring to us young folks just starting out! It was an honour to capture such a momentous occasion for them.

At the park with the C Family | Toronto Family Photographer

One of my biggest goals for this year is to stay on top of my blogging! I love sharing my work and this blog is a great way to give my awesome clients a sneak peek of their session. Earlier last week I spent a sunny morning with this family of four.  Give me a cute baby and a pug to photograph and I'm over-the-moon. We started at home and then went for a walk to the park – the perfect start to my week!
