A few weeks ago, I spent the morning with the Easthope family in downtown Brampton at Gage Park, enjoying the beautiful weather and taking some family portraits. This was a session that had been delayed twice because of unruly weather conditions and we were so happy to have a nice morning to shoot. When doing any portrait session outside, the weather can either be your best friend or your worst enemy. Mother Nature was the former on this day.

Below are some examples of the photos we took. If you or any of your friends/family/colleagues are looking for relaxed, candid portraits, please contact me for your customized quote. As always, my details can be found on my Contact Me page.

And to the Easthope family, it was such a pleasure working with you. I hope you enjoy your photos!

If you recall in a previous post, I shot Jill and Andrew’s engagement photos here. The next session I had with them was the night before their wedding where Andrew’s family was hosting a cookout for everyone. It was an afternoon filled with sun, food, fun and laughter. Both the Duling and Kunica families were very kind, sweet, and so very welcoming. I had a blast documenting the afternoon.

Below are some pictures from the event.

A Couple of Saturdays ago, I spent a few hours with Jill and Andrew to do an engagement session. I will be shooting their wedding on July 4th at Langdon Hall and couldn’t be more excited to work with this couple again.

On this particular Saturday, we went down to Gairloch Gardens in Oakville Ontario to shoot on their beautiful grounds. We continued on the waterfront in downtown Oakville, enjoying the wonderful spring weather. We had a great time together, which I think you can see from the photos we made.

All the best to Jill and Andrew with their final preparations.

It seems like just yesterday I was posting some pictures of Oliver in his first couple days of life. Well, Oliver is now six months old and I’d thought it was time to post some new ones. Dana and I took Oliver to Gage Park for some fun under the trees and in the gazebo. Oliver was awesome during the entire shoot, content with just doing his own thing. I guess this is all second-hat to him as he’s had a lens stuck in his face since birth!

Anyways, enjoy the pictures below.

Not too long ago, I was approached by friends Victoria and Mario to shoot their son Roman. Roman was born a week after Oliver and Vicky and Mario wanted some pictures to document his three month birthday. I spent some time getting to know Roman and by the end of the afternoon, he was brimming ear to ear for us.

Below are a couple examples of the many wonderful photos we made that day.

A couple of weekends ago, I did a portrait session for Gisele Richter. This cutie was a blast to work with. She played shy for the first little bit but once she was comfortable with me (and the honkin’ lens in her face), she was the perfect model!

Have a look at a few of the examples below!

Just recently I had the distinct honour of shooting Webber, a beautiful dog and family member to friends Stacey and Scott. Webber was an absolute gem to work with, often making my job very easy to do. This is good news simply because I don’t do much pet photography and was really unsure as to how the day would go. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Good friends Kathryn and Yvan asked me to do a maternity session for them back in February of last year. With their son Leo almost one now, it seemed only fitting that I share with you these beautiful images we made together. On this particular afternoon, we tried several different approaches: relaxed candids, controlled light portraits, and studio style fixed poses. I’m really happy with the results and I think you will agree, the images below really capture the essence of Kathryn & Yvan’s love for each other and for their son Leo.

Most of you know by now that back in November, Dana and I welcomed our first son Oliver into our family. Oliver has been a real joy to have as a son and I look forward to watching him grow up. These shots below were taken in his first three days of being in this world. You will see that right from the very beginning, he was alert, and quite strong. Although, from most of the pictures below…it looks like he likes to sleep

When Dana and I were in the hospital with Oliver, Alison brought Oliver’s cousin Julia to meet him. Well Julia couldn’t have been cuter that day and I couldn’t help but grab a few portraits of her. She even hammed it up for the camera a bit, as you will see below. I can’t believe Julia is two years old! It seems like only yesterday I was taking photos for her first photoshoot. She’s growing up so fast…
