My second outdoor session was with the U11 Fury who were just coming off a championship weekend so they were flying high. I don’t think they even realized it was minus 30 degrees celsius. Even though it was cold, it was still a very fun session.

Queens U11 Outdoor Hockey Session - Balsam Pit
I absolutely love the hockey sessions in the rink, and they of course make the most sense. Sometimes though, the kids need to get outside for a change of scenery. That was the case with the Queens U11 team. We gathered everyone up at my old childhood stomping ground, Balsam Pit. Even though it was a baseball diamond, it worked perfectly, and the girls (and me) had a blast. I just love how the photos turned out.

YLP Embracing Youth Festival - ONWA
ONWA is always hosting great events in and around the community and this time around they had a wonderful event right in their backyard called the YLP Embracing Youth Festival. It was a free festival and it had so many great artists and vendors. I was amazed at how many people showed up.

Katelyn + Family Portraits - Vickers Park
This was my second family portrait session with Katelyn and her amazing family. This time around Courtney Lynn and Jake joined us as well. I hadn't seen them since I shot their wedding a couple years ago. We decided on Vickers Park this time around and it ended up being the perfect location. It had a nice mix of trees and shade and of course the park for the kids.

Dany + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
I had an amazing 30 minute session with Dany and her family this past weekend at Centennial Park. Even though it was a short session I laughed so much during the entirety of it. Everyone had such a good time and I think that came through in the photos.

Patrick + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
My session of the weekend took place this past Friday at Centennial Park with Patrick and his family. In all, there were 5 families members including Patrick, and they were all extremely fun to photograph. The weather was beautiful and the sun was behind the clouds for the most part, so it was the perfect setting for an hour long family session.

Darla + Family Portraits
My first portrait session this past weekend just goes to show that even though it's winter, it shouldn't stop you from getting outside with your family and getting some photos done. That's exactly what I did with Darla and her family, and the results were awesome. The occasion was actually a special one, in that it was her mom's 60th birthday. I couldn't think of a better reason to get the whole family together for some portraits.

Erin + Family Portraits
It was a very busy weekend, with a lot of different photo shoots going on. Prior to my session with Erin and her family I photographed some of the Oktoberfest at the CLE grounds. When I was driving there, I noticed how extremely foggy it was out, but for only half of the city, which was quite the site. I was scheduled to take photos of Erin and her family for 6:00pm and I was hoping that it stayed foggy, and it did.

Katrina + Ed Wedding
It was only a couple weeks ago but Katrina and Ed's Wedding Day is still fresh in my mind. The day turned out to be one of the nicest so far of the summer, although, it was fairly hot. But, there is no way I will ever complain about hot weather in this city with winter always around the corner.
Katrina and Ed's wedding took place at their new house out on Hawkeye Lake. For those of you that haven't been to this lake it is absolutely gorgeous. I had been to their house a year prior but that was for engagement photos and the house wasn't quite done then. Seeing it for the first time with all the guests and family gathered around was quite the site. Of course, the backdrop of the Hawkeye Lake definitely helped set the mood.

ONWA Fall Portraits
Thankfully Winter is still holding off because it gave me a chance to get some great outdoor Fall photos at ONWA. If you haven't seen any of my other posts with ONWA, this will be approximately the 7th time I have photographed families for this wonderful organization. This time around there were only 5 families but boy were those families a lot of fun to photograph.
Read MoreONWA Family Portraits - Session 1
When I was first asked to photograph families for ONWA, I really didn't know what to expect. Mainly because I really didn't fully understand what ONWA was. Once I did a bit of research, I couldn't wait to get in front of all the families and start taking photos. Not only was it for a good cause but I knew it would end up being a lot of fun. Which it was.
