A woman and her dog-so much love

10/27/2023

dogs are welcome in our sessions

There are times when we get asked if we photograph dogs. Our answer? Of course! They are so much part of the family and we love including them in family photos.
In this photoshoot, Jaclyn wanted the photo session to be about her dog, Benjamin.
And he was such the perfect subject.

Benjamin loved roaming free, and was such a good boy. He came to his "mom" when called, and sat nicely for the photos.

When you see the love between them, you know that Benjamin is the most cherished dog and the apple of Jaclyn's eye.

Updating family photos at an apple orchard

10/16/2023

and having so much fun too!

Are you planning on updating your family photos? Then consider making it fun! Look for a location like a beach or, as this family did, an apple orchard!
Being able to let the little kids run, play and have fun makes a family photo session allot easier and more memorable. The children will remember this photo session as fun. And future sessions will be easier with them.

capturing some candid photos

Candid or photojournalistic photographs on your wall look just as good as posed photos.

Piggy Back rides are fun

Of course, piggy back rides make for some giggles and laughs from the kids and adults as well. Tickling and smoochy kisses create a different kind of photo, those that look posed, but are not. Just plain old fun to do.

Kids love climbing

Letting the kids safely climb into something, like this wagon, makes them think they are getting to do something special. These brothers, sisters and cousin loved doing that. Again, making a memorable time fun.

A compilation of some fall family photos

With a beautiful fall in progress, we've had many families out for their fall family photos. Many families use these photos for their yearly holiday newsletters or cards or to update their family photos. This year, we've had some great weather.

With our own pumpkin patch on our property, our clients and take their time and play among the pumpkins.
And, each child gets to take home a free pumpkin to carve for Hallowe'en.

What's cuter than a little baby lying among the fall leave so full of colour?

My favourite photo of these twins pulling their pumpkin in a wagon. Action or Candid shots are sometimes the best type of photography, especially with kids present.

as always, family pets are more than welcome

Because we run our fall photo sessions on our own property, dogs are more than welcome. And, if they are good off leash, we can get some great photos.

We do have a large pond, so any dogs that like to go in the water might be best to be kept on leash until after the photo shoot, when they can get as dirty and wet as they'd like!

Some thanksgiving weekend fun

Every Thanksgiving this family invites me to their beautiful island cottage on Stoney Lake to photograph their growing family. It's so nice to see the how much the kids have grown over the previous year.
And having fun is their motto! Lots of laughs and fun poses to bring them great memories.
