I’ve been a big fan of Terry’s flower farm just south of Winnipeg for years now, and when I had the opportunity to go back there to take photos of her own family, I immediately said yes! Not only is their property stunning in late Summer, but her family is just as beautiful and full of colour. I had so much fun capturing all these photos, running around with the kiddos and taking photos as they explored the gardens full of vegetables and flowers. What a delight this was!
Just when Chelsea was about to give birth to her third child, a pandemic hit the world and photographers in Winnipeg, including me, had to shut down temporarily. This meant she missed her newborn photo session for her littlest one, Nicholas. Although it was devastating to miss that milestone in photos, we were able to reschedule to a family portrait session a couple of months later. The 3 month baby stage is also just as cute in its own way, and I was so happy to be able to meet up with this sweet family that I have known for years. From their engagement photos, to their wedding, to multiple newborn and family photo shoots since, it’s always a pleasure seeing them and taking photos for their lovely family. I always enjoy my time with their kids, and last night was no exception! Félicitations Chelsea et Justin, Nicholas est adorable!!
I love multi-generational family photo sessions! When you have grandparents, their grown children, and each of their own little families come together for a photo shoot, it’s so special being able to create images to remember this wonderful time in their life. I met up with the Malone family at St. Vital Park one early summer morning and what a fun time we had capturing all these moments!
Summertime family photos are some of my favourites to shoot. When Candace asked me if we could schedule something in August, and that they had a perfect location for their family of seven, I was all in. Their kids are so adorable, each with their own distinct personality, and being able to round them up to capture these memories in their family journey brings me immeasurable joy. We hiked down to Sturgeon Creek (I can’t believe no one fell in the creek, including my big camera bag!) and we got to exploring the fish in the creek, watched the kids play with rocks and tall reeds, and also had fun taking photos of them wrestling (and piling on!) their dad. It was so sweet to finally meet their newest addition, the cute little red-fluffy-haired Sylvie, who brings such a light and glow to their crew. Here are some photos from our evening out by the creek last week:
Once a year I get to see these guys – they’re always so smiley, bouncy and full of energy (that is, particularly the 3 girls!). I’ve been taking their family photos ever since their youngest was barely walking, and every year it’s such a delight to catch up with them, run around and capture all of the love & antics that this family share together. This year for their family photos we decided to head to Birds Hill Park and get some of the forest vibes mixed in with the beach vibe. There are such diverse landscapes in that park, and being able to capture all these different images in about one hour is something that I love! Even the sun poked out through the clouds a few times and the girls loved playing in the sand and water. We took a few headshots of each of the girls too, so that their parents don’t need to order any of those boring school photos to put on their walls. Getting those real smiles in a fun environment is 100 times better for getting portraits of your kids on your walls at home!
Here’s a preview from our evening at the park – complete with all the smiles, hugs and kisses! Until next time F-B Family!
