Toronto Family Photos for Every Generation

Looking for Toronto family photos that capture real connection? This summer, I photographed a beautiful multi-generation family reunion at Toronto’s Harbourfront, HTO Park, and the iconic CN Tower area. Starting at The Westin Harbour Castle, we explored some of the most recognizable Toronto landmarks to create natural, candid, and meaningful images for a big family visiting from Ottawa and the U.S. With a blend of posed portraits and documentary-style moments, this Toronto family photo session showcased grandparents, grandkids, and every generation in between.…

A family photographer: the true meaning behind it

Today, a family photographer generally refers to a photographer who takes family photos. However, I believe that being a family photographer involves more than just that. To me, a family photographer is a photographer who is capable of capturing more than just one style of photography. Essentially, a family photographer should be able to provide coverage for more than one type of occasion: a wedding, birthday, family reunion, or arriving to a new bundle of joy. Beyond the Big Day: Why Transitioning to Family…

Contributing to the Neighbours of Hanlon Creek Magazine

Although I had yet to become a photographer for The Neighbours of Hanlon Creek Magazine, living in that neighbourhood, I was familiar with it as I received it at my door monthly.

I have been photographing the amazing people featured in the Clair and Gordon magazine articles and Exhibition Park neighbourhood magazine for a while now. However, mid-last year, I…

Family Reunion Photos and the hidden benefits of doing them

Whenever the topic of family reunion photos comes up in conversation, everyone agrees that they are long overdue and should have been taken years ago.

While it makes everyone happy to have agreed on the importance of taking pictures, unfortunately, the planning process stops there.During the planning process of family reunion photos, there is always one family member who is willing to…

Family Photos First Communion at Loafer's Lake

First Communion photos at Loafer’s Park in Brampton

Taking First Communion photos during the COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging. Like anything nowadays it seems, we have had to pivot and adjust how we usually document this important milestone for kids and their families. Recently, I had the privilege of taking photos of an entire school's First Communion ceremony held at their local church. It's a little sad to try to photograph children while they are wearing their masks. Almost two-thirds of their faces are covered, requiring us to try to have…

Dressing for winter family photos can be tricky. Understandably, these seasonal images are often missing from family photo albums. Canada is a country that endures four months of winter with so much snow and perfect, white-covered places. I cannot say enough how beautiful these scenes can make your family photos look. When completing your winter family photos, you will first and foremost need some determination. If you already have your mindset on the photo session, this is really all that you need. A…
