Michelle and Sam won a free portrait session a couple months back and we finally got around to doing it. We chose Seaman Park as the venue, which is always a great location. There was a wedding going on, down by the water, so we just used the nice trail off to the side. Both Michelle and Sam were a bit shy at first but it only took a few minutes for them to get warmed up. After that, they were complete naturals.

My second portrait session of the day was at the complete opposite end of the city, at One Island Lake. It ended up being Leah’s family camp, which has been in the family since the 40’s. Suffice it to say, it was quite beautiful there.

Jennifer + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
Even with forest fires looming far off in the distance and extremely hot weather, Jennifer and her family still joined me for a mini session at Centennial Park the other evening. One of her sisters wasn’t able to make it, but we still had a great time capturing some formal portraits and a few candid ones as well. I swear we laughed most of the session too! All in all, it was a lot of fun, and I’m already looking forward to a potential session in September with all of Jennifer’s family.

Kim + Family Backyard Portraits
My latest family session was out in the country at Kim and her family’s home. When possible, I always recommend doing sessions in this setting. It’s just such a great opportunity to not only get the usual group photos, but a lot of candids as well! Everyone is just so much more relaxed.

Bianca Bridal Shower
When Bianca asked me to come by and capture some of her bridal shower, I simply couldn’t wait until the day arrived. It’s been a very hard year for everyone, and I haven’t gotten out that much for my usual wedding and portrait sessions. With things restrictions easing up more and more, I’m truly thankful and appreciative of any sessions I get to do now.

Alyssa + Nathan Family Portraits - Trow Bridge Falls
It ended up being the perfect afternoon for a family portrait session. Alyssa and Nathan joined me, with their children at Trow Bridge Falls. It was also a graduation session as well, which you should be able to tell from the photos below. At first all the kids were a bit chilly, but it only took about 5 minutes for them to warm up, after running to each location, and around the playground. It felt really good being out in the nice weather capturing portraits again!

Madeline + Family Mini Session - Centennial Park
This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Madeline and her children at Centennial park. It felt really good to be out taking photos of actual people for once. There was still some snow on the ground but it was a beautiful evening to capture some great moments. Even though it was a mini session, we came away with so many memorable photos. It helped that everyone was such a good sport with the somewhat wet environment.

Chad + Family Portraits
My latest portrait session with Chad and his family took place on John Street Road at their home. It was a nice change to have a session at a family home, then one of the usual locations in town. We started inside their beautiful home for a mix of candid and posed photos by the fireplace. For the last half of the session we ventured outside. Once outside, it gave the kids a chance to really be themselves, which I loved!

Torin + Laurisa Portraits - Jumbo Gardens
I’ve been doing a lot of mini sessions at the Tree Farm and Centennial Park over the past couple months. So when Torin contacted me for some portraits with him and his girlfriend Laurisa, I suggested Jumbo Gardens. It’s a place I often take our dog Bea to walk around. I’ve been meaning to use it for a portrait session, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity.
