I always look forward to my annual photos with Jill and her family! They share such a genuine love, connection and closeness and I’m always so inspired to capture every moment of it. And their three daughters are so adorable – they always make me feel like I’m their best buddy by the end of the session! Taking photos for another photographer can be a bit intimidating, but Jill is so down to earth that taking her family photos is a breeze. I’ve grown to really appreciate the connection that we’ve made through are mutual love of photography. You should check out her work too – she does newborn photography in her studio and her photos are outstanding. One of the best in Winnipeg!
Here is a preview of our time at Henteleff Park, in South St. Vital. A beautiful park that has been quite a popular location this fall season for family photography!
Thinking of getting family photos done after missing out on the peak of the fall season? Last year we had a warm fall which meant we still had gorgeous, warm evenings well into mid-October. This family booked their photo shoot on October 18th – quite late in the season – but we lucked out on nice weather (it was close to 20 degrees celsius!) and some of the leaves were still hanging on in the trees! We chose Henteleff Park in South St. Vital as our location and it was an absolute gorgeous backdrop for their family portraits.
If you’re wondering if you missed out on nice September family photos – don’t discount October! Even though I don’t recommend putting off booking your photo session late in the season, mid-October could still surprise you with some warm, sunny days with colours still in the trees.

It’s been wonderful reconnecting with Linette after first meeting her several years ago at a friend’s wedding. Now that her wedding is coming up this year, we’ve had the chance to chat about their vision for their day and take engagement photos for them with their super cute little dog. We went to Henteleff Park in south Winnipeg on a beautiful, sunny evening and captured so many great moments of their love and dynamic together. Knowing that she was a bit nervous and shy coming into the photo session, I wanted to make sure that frame of mind wasn’t leading her. Rather, we started with super basic, candid set up shots and soon before she even knew it, they were both totally in their element, completely connected with each other and showing off the true colours of their love. I always tell people that the authenticity of their relationship is what I’m after, and once I have them comfortable and in the zone with each other, all that anxiety and shyness melts away. These two are absolutely lovely, generous human beings with big hearts and tight chemistry. I can’t wait to photograph their fall wedding in Winnipeg this October!
