I first met Leili and Chris back in 2013 when they travelled to London from Fort Smith, Northwest Territories to visit family. Leili wanted maternity photos while she was here, and it was such a pleasure to document this special time for them. Fast forward to 2017, I was overjoyed to hear from Leili again and make plans to meet her in Toronto during her visit - during cherry blossom season! - and photograph her beautiful family of 4. It rained off and on all day, but the skies cleared just in time for their session in High Park. Even though it was unbelievably packed with tourists and cherry blossom enthusiasts, we managed to find a few quiet spots to enjoy the breathtaking blooms . Their two adorable boys were full of energy and personality, and we had so much fun exploring, playing and laughing through our session.

Leili, thank you for the honour of photographing your family during your Ontario visits. I hope to see you again soon! Leili is a photographer herself in Fort Smith, be sure to check out her beautiful work! Here are some favourites from our session.
