More great famiy moments. What a great time of year to get out there and capture the rich fall colors and tones. This itty bitty image collection is pretty cool. You can't help but smile when you see these guys together.

Family

This brother and sister were a whole lot of fun to photograph! I love the fall colors here. The portraits turned out fantastic!




This is a beautiful image. I am taken with it. The expression in her eyes along with the soft, rich colors just draw us in. It is altogether lovely. The amazing thing is that this was a test shot. Somehow those images that you just don't expect can turn out to be the ones you love the most.

Tiny Treasures

It is a priviledge to photograph the Charette family's second little one - Tristan. We had the pleasure of watching Tristan's sister grow and change throughout her first year and now we are thrilled to have the opportunity to watch this little guy as he charms his way through his baby portrait sessions. One of the many rewards that come with this line of work.

Another fantastic portrait at Macdonald Wood Park. The mood is enchanting and the lighting spectacular. Very nice portrait. Even Cuba is looking great for the camera!

This session captured such a beautiful mood. This image of the daughter was a test shot and it turned out to be a gorgous portrait. These images are captivating. A great mixture of rich colors and a depth and intensity in the expressions. Very pretty portraits!

These portrait panels are becoming so popular. You can understand why when you look at how awesome it is to capture such a variety of moods and emotions all in one panel. These sisters are sweet. It's so neat to see the dynamics between the two of them. You can just sense their closeness and appreciation for one other.

This is an excellent idea for a panel collection. It's a fantastic way to capture all elements of family in intimate and personalized groups. This is what makes these panels so popular. Very special portrait!

This lovely family portrait was taken out at Jumbo's cabin by the railway tracks in Cumberland. It's just beautiful lighting and I love the look of the enchanting path in behind.

This panel collection is just too cute. Tons of energy and a bit of cheekiness in there too! What a great way to capture it all. This panel has been in our store front window this week and has definitely been catching a lot of attention. So much fun!

From Our Baby Sessions

These portraits from Olivia'a one year session are just adorable. It's been a privilege to photograph Olivia during the many rapidly changing stages of her first year. We just couldn't resist posting these two images from her 12 month session...they are so precious. We hope your family is thoroughly enjoying your baby portraits. We want to thank you for sharing these moments of your child's life with us.
