Our vintage red sleigh adds a nice festive touch to these sessions. We were lucky to have a bit of snow fall the previous evening, which added to the festive look.

A Magical Late-Fall Engagement Session in the First Snow

11/22/2025

 

cobourg's first snowfall in november 

There’s something incredibly special about photographing a couple who has just said “yes” to forever—there’s an extra spark, an undeniable glow, and a tenderness that comes through in every photo. But this particular engagement session felt like something out of a fairy tale.

the rustic tones of fall turned into a winter wonderland

We had planned for a late-fall shoot, knowing the earthy tones, tall grasses, and quiet pathways would make a lovely natural backdrop. What we didn’t plan for was the weather surprising us in the best possible way. Just as we began, soft flakes started to fall—gentle, sparkling, and completely magical.

Our property always offers beautiful spots to explore, but on this day the pathways, trees, and tall grasses became the perfect frame for this couple’s connection. The snow added just the right touch—subtle, serene, and uniquely meaningful for them.

The moment the snow arrived, the whole session shifted. The woods became quiet and cozy, and the couple leaned into each other with the kind of warmth that only a chilly day can bring. It created the perfect atmosphere—romantic, peaceful, and wonderfully cinematic.

​Sessions like this remind me why I love photography so deeply. Nature gave us the perfect gift that day, and together we created images that capture both the beauty of the season and the warmth of their new journey together.

Sometimes I go into people's homes for their Christmas photos, as it was difficult to get out with these three little ones. BUT, just look how this momma was holding it all together with the 4 boys in her family, and yes, we had a good laugh about this!

“In The Box” Christmas Photo Sessions

11/13/2025

 
​Looking for something fun, festive, and totally unique for your Christmas cards this year? Our In The Box Christmas Mini Sessions at CatsMac Photography are a one-of-a-kind experience that’s guaranteed to make everyone smile!

​So What Exactly Is “In The Box” Photography?

​Picture this: a big white wooden box, 4 feet by 4 feet, where the magic happens! During your session, we’ll have you, your kids, or even your family dog sit, stand, or play inside the box as we capture a variety of fun poses. We’ll mix in festive props — think Christmas trees, gifts, lights, ornaments, and cozy winter touches — to bring your photos to life.
Each person or pet gets their turn to shine, and after the session, we use a bit of Photoshop magic to combine your favourite shots into one creative collage — a series of moments that come together to tell your family’s story in a playful, whimsical way.
​Each session includes a variety of poses and props, and your final collage is carefully edited to create a stunning keepsake — perfect for printing, framing, or sharing with friends and family.

​Why You’ll Love It

It’s fun for everyone — kids of all ages, parents, grandparents, and pets love being “in the box.”
It’s unique — a fresh twist on holiday photos that makes your Christmas cards truly stand out.
It’s festive — our props and decorations make each setup merry and bright.
It’s stress-free — we guide you through each pose, so all you have to do is relax and have fun.
