London Ontario Family Photographer | Heather, Eric, Iris and Walker's Downtown Family Session

I loved this fun downtown session! Call the Office is such a meaningful place for Heather and Eric and the story of their relationship, so it was great to incorporate it into their downtown family shoot. They definitely came dressed to match their cool surroundings, and it was such a blast to hang out with them. Heather is a fellow photographer that has been a mentor and dear friend to me, and it’s always an honour when I have the opportunity to help her document her own beautiful family. Here are some favourites from this session!

London Ontario Family Photographer | Tree Farm Mini Sessions

Tree Farm Minis open up for booking to the advance notice list tomorrow, which means it’s time to look back on last year’s sessions. I love these festive minis, and as always they will be the last minis of the year! Booking will open up for the public on the booking page on September 16th.

London Ontario Family Photographer | Fall Woods Minis

Fall Minis are officially open for booking, which means it’s time to look bak on last years Fall sessions in the woods. I don’t specifically plan my Fall minis around trees with changing leaves (They’re either way up high in a mature tree or on the ground, which means that anything other than a wide shot gives me a tree bark background - not my favourite ;) ). Instead I am a sucker for golden, overgrown grasses and Autumn wildflowers. I loves these sessions and cannot wait to be back in this same location for Fall Minis again this year.

London Ontario Family Photographer | Flower Farm Mini Sessions

Booking for this year’s Flower Farm Minis is opening up to the advance notice list in a couple of days, which means it’s time to reminisce about last year’s sessions!

I’d been wanting to shoot on a flower farm for awhile, and last year I was finally able to make it happen on Harris Flower Farm’s beautiful property. There’s nothing quite as vibrant and whimsical as a field of flowers, and I am so excited to be shooting here again soon.

Here are some favourites from last year’s sessions!

London Ontario Family Photography | Train Bridge & Greenhouse Session

This is the second blog post in a row that showcases a fun but chilly early Winter session that started outdoors and ended at the local greenhouse where we could warm up and take advantage of the beautiful lush backdrop. Parkway Garden Centre is one of my favourite places (both to shop and browse AND to shoot!) and they are always so gracious in letting us in to shoot when it’s chilly or raining! Here are some favourites from a shoot that started at a train bridge and ended at Parkway, and featured an adorable baby girl and her gorgeous dog sibling, too!

London Ontario Family Photographer | Winter Field & Greenhouse Session

I loved photographing this gorgeous family. I had the pleasure of documenting Brian and Kristy’s engagement and wedding and meeting their little guy when he was just a baby himself. Now he’s a big brother, and I got to meet his little sister who is every bit as sweet as he is. It was a cold, snowy day, but we managed some lovely field photos before heading to a nearby greenhouse for shelter, warmth, and another beautiful backdrop.

London Ontario Family Photographer | Port Stanley Beach Minis

Booking opened up to my advance notice list for this year’s beach minis, which means it’s the perfect time to reminisce about last year! We had SO MUCH RAIN last year. I don’t think I’ve ever had to reschedule beach minis so many times. I studied the weather radar like a hawk and despite that, got caught in the rain multiple times. But despite all of the weather frustrations, these were some of my favourite beach sessions to date. Here are some highlights!

London Ontario Newborn Lifestyle Photographer | Baby Eva

It was such a delight to photograph sweet baby Eva at home with her beautiful family. I’ve had the pleasure of documenting milestones for the Kucharski family since biggest sister Anya was a baby herself, and I feel so thankful to have been invited into this sweet family’s lives. Here are some favourites from Eva’s in-home newborn/family session.

London Ontario Family Photography | Western University Campus Family Session

I have been lucky enough to photograph Darcy, Jessie and Max since Max was a toddler, and each session is so much fun. We’ve done home sessions, beach sessions, woodsy sessions, and in this case, a Western University campus session, and regardless of the location there is always guaranteed to be lots of laughter, silliness, running and piggy back rides. Here are some favourites from their Fall campus session!

London Ontario Family Photographer | Civic Gardens Extended Family Session

This was such a lovely extended family session at Civic Gardens. You can almost feel the warmth on this sunny day!
