Look at these children! This family were really fun to work with. You can tell they have fun together. In fact I had packed up my camera and was about to leave when I looked back to see Matt climbing a tree with the kids. Seriously how fun is this family? We took these photos last weekend and the weather or light did not disappoint.
I’ve never been a huge fan of Halloween. But, I am a huge fan of making things. After a bit of internet research I found an easy tutorial to turn G into a peacock. What I didn’t account for was the speech limitations of a 20 month old. For at least a week before Halloween when we asked her what she was dressing up as she drop the pea from peacock in a loud and matter of fact tone. Thankfully that passed just in time for her to be sick for Halloween and homebound with me. We still have fun though.
She was a bit sick on Halloween so we had to settle for dreary indoor shots.
For the record I set her up, wiped her nose a million times, walked two steps away to take a picture and still didn’t manage to get a clean shot.
Fall is my favourite time of year. The colours, lighting conditions and the burst of energy I get to squeeze every last ounce of night weather in before the winter. Ugh, winter. I’ll try my best to refrain from complaining miserably about it when it arrives.
Anyway, this photo of G is my new favourite and front runner for our holiday cards. What do you think?
Anna is the first, and only, Greek friend I’ve made in Ontario. We had our first child within days of one another. Both married guys who were not Greek. Both laugh hysterically at our own jokes. Then she decided to try for baby number two and ended up with baby number two and three. This is where our similarities end. I think a higher power responsible for dolling out kids knows better than to give me twins. You see Anna can handle it. I cannot.
I did a photo shoot with her sweet family and this is my favorite image.
My friend, and amazingly great real estate agent, asked me to photograph Oscar for her Christmas card. Which photo do you think is better for her card? My vote is #1. The hub’s is #2.
This mini shoot gave me the nudge I needed to think about our holiday cards. It usually takes me at least three weeks to address them and then another two to drop them into the mailbox. I’m booking mini-shoots if you’re interested in getting a few photos for your holiday cards.
I feel like it always rains the day after my parents are in town for a visit.
This is G and my Mom enjoying a juicy peach post bath. This would have never in a million years happened when I was her age.
There is something about Thanksgiving that never disappoints. Today was another perfect Thanksgiving. In fact, I’m going on record to say it’s my favourite holiday. That’s a big call, no?
G certainly thinks so.
Do you know what happens when you work full time, rush home to play with your babe and then add five photo shoots in two weeks to your schedule? Well, overall you’re happy but you get a throat infection. I’m home sick today and after sleeping from 10am until close to dinner my body still feels tired but my brain has turned to mush. I figured a quick post would be a nice break to my uneventful day.
I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed photographing this family. Look at how fun these kids are! If you’re interested in booking a photo shoot now is the time to do it. The city looks beautiful at this time of year and you don’t have to wear an unflattering puffy coat.
