We have known and worked with Laurie and her family for many years, from photographing their weddings to updating their portraits. This time it was a pleasure watching 2 families come into 1, best wishes.

Growing up fast

Fall has always been a popular time to have a family portrait taken and updated as in the case with this young family. Although most of the fall leaves are now on the ground, we can still capture the beauty of the fall season with creative use of backgrounds and lighting. I had a great time with the Ahola family on this beautiful fall day.

Fall family portraits in cottage country

Fall weather can be so unpredictable, it so happened to be another beautiful weekend for fall portraits. We have had the pleasure of photographing this young family since the oldest was born, how cool it is to see a young family grow. This portrait was taken in Huntsville, on a country lane way where the colours and ambiance were just perfect.

I love working with young families. These guys were so pumped and into this session that it made my job so easy. The kids were not just beautiful but so much fun to work with. Thanks for the chance to update your family memory and really glad no trains were coming. Here we ended up with a 24×36 canvas for their home which I feel will add so much warmth and joy.

Sally was the winner of a session we donated for Canoe FM radiothon fund raiser, it was very cool meeting Sally and her pets. Sally has a beautiful spot just south of Gooderham where she really enjoys her dog. She is not a summer person, she absolutely loves winter and snow in particular as you can tell she really can’t wait for the fun white stuff to fly.

Fun and relaxed Caledon Family Portrait

I had the pleasure of photographing the Masulka family from Caledon last week. The brothers pretty much grew up in this beautiful play ground in the Forks of the Credit. It is always fun watching the kids run around and being kids. One of the advantages to operating from 2 locations is that we can better serve our clients, we will be seeing one of the brothers from Huntsville at our North studio as we often see our cottage clients at our Caledon studio.

Family reunion at Red Leaves Resort on Lake Rosseau in Muskoka

Jose Paulo — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 05:27:45 +0000

50th anniversaries are perfect opportunities for families to re unite. Here we photographed the entire group including the individual families in beautiful Muskoka. The families were from as far as Texas, the kids were absolute joys and so good to work with. We spent 2 hours with this beautiful family and once I found this gorgeous setting, the only way to get the right perspective was to get in the water, so off with my shoes where I spent the last hour photographing, it was warm yet refreshing. Then on our departure we found this deer on the resort property having his or her own dinner. Thanks for the chance to document your family and congratulations.

Cottage Portrait on Lake Kushog

Joanna and John have been planning to celebrate their 10th anniversary by renewing their wedding vows and celebrating with family. This was a perfect opportunity to renew and update their family portrait at their cottage where they have so many beautiful memories. The weather had been unsettled however the rain held off just until the ceremony was over. The ceremony was beautiful, romantic and very intimate, it was such a pleasure for us to be part of their day and helping preserve this milestone for them and their family. They then headed to the Oakview Lodge for an amazing reception. Congratulations, Joanna and John, wishing you many happy years ahead.

family portrait updated

We had the wonderful pleasure of recapturing the Snell family again, it had been almost 15 years since their previous session so you can imagine how small the teenagers were then. The session was a lot of fun, especially since we knew everyone. Lisa did a great job coordinating everyone for added harmony. I know the kids wouldn’t remember us from the first portrait but they were all great. The weather was calling for rain and thunder but we lucked out and finished just before the big down pour. It was great having my good friend Wayne Braiden help me with the session, and no surprise he was his usual funny guy who happened to be cousins to the family. Congratulations to Joe and Ruth Snell on your 50th milestone.

We also captured each separate family, this one is of Lisa and Ken Snell, owners of Insta Plus Printing in Orangeville.
