I’ve photographed this family more times than I can count. It’s a show every single time. And they’re having their fourth little one. What a team they’re raising. So proud to call them my friends.
A perfect day with Cassie and her family. I was honoured when Cassie asked me to photograph a day with her new little one, husband and big sister – Cassie’s a photographer too – based in Parry Sound and that’s always a little daunting. Thank you for trusting me to do this for you, at home. 
There are a couple of families on my ‘must shoot’ list. Here’s one of them. I met Deb and Martyn through business and our little families have grown quickly together. There are just a few people beyond my family that I’ve maintained such a connection with. From photographing the birth of baby J last year, to quiet afternoons of tears and breastfeeding, to last-minute daycare pick-ups and trading homes just to get a full nights sleep Deb and her fam have become our chosen family. My C and her E are best buds – in fact when my Charlie saw me editing this family session last night he asked where I was? Why wasn’t he there? And told me promptly he wanted to “go there now and see Deb and Maaaawtin”. We love this family dearly and are so lucky to be a part of their lives. We’ve been planning this family shoot for ages and when they decided to go camping on Eagle Lake in South River, near Algonquin Park (as a general reference) we knew it was our opportunity.
Thank you to my NEW second shooter/assistant Myranda, who came out with me, as she has to a number of sessions this season. I’m so proud of the progress she’s making. A few of these shots are hers and I’m thrilled to be including them here.
Love to you Deb and Mawtin!
Another sweet summer family ‘cottage session‘! I love huge-family days at the beach, on the dock, in forest. Such fun and history at family cottages in Muskoka. It’s a good day when I get to hang out with wild kids and their parents in nature.
This family is on my blog often, their lives have been well documented. I cherish our relationship very much and am really looking forward to learning all about baby Arlo. Living in Toronto it was likely I’d have to miss his birth, although we did some planning for birth photography. The irony is on the Sunday night that I left the city, passing through their neighbourhood, I messaged momma to say ‘any baby, I can come right now?’ There was no babe yet. And what do you know – less than 24 hours later she was in labour, surrounded by her all people. I missed it. I missed by only hours! Instead we gathered at the cottage near Huntsville yesterday. They cuddled in bed. Changed bums. Fed babies. You know the drill. It was lovely.
