A drive out to the rural outskirts of the city, an early morning sun filtered by thin clouds and a beautiful family is what made this photo session absolutely perfect! Their daughter is almost a year old, and capturing this special milestone is something that I love so much. She toddled around with her cute little feet, she babbled some very interesting but incoherent stories, and had the biggest, beaming smile for so many photos. She even took a few bites of fresh dill and showed off her cool shades. Spending time with a 1 year old is so refreshing! It was an absolute delight to document this moment in time and here’s a handful of the photos we captured:
I met up with Jill and Harry at HarbourView park this week to take their family photos and there were sooooooo many smiles from this adorable little crew! Their two girls were just the cutest little kids ever and with a third on the way, this family is about to get a whole lot cuter! Thanks Jill & Harry for such a beautiful session with your family, I had such a lovely time with you!
They are happening on Sunday November 4th, 2018 in an all-white Winnipeg studio. The sessions are 15 minutes long, $175 + taxes, include a proofing gallery and 5 high-res edited digital photos of your choice.
They will be styled by the super talented Emily Janzen of Feast & Festivities. I’ve been working with her for several years and she always comes up with a new and unique styled set that is both beautiful and practical for kids to play in!
This time Emily is working on a woodsy, minimal set for your little(s) to play in, let their imaginations run wild, or snuggle up with siblings.
Kids love these sessions because they’re fun… parents love it because it’s short enough for kids with small attention spans… and we love it because it produces gorgeous portraits of happy kiddos!

Here’s a visual of what we have in store for the styled set:
I met up with this fun bunch of people in the early evening glow of Birds Hill Park to take their family photos, and they were all such champs! After only 35 minutes of shooting, we pretty much had gotten a complete collection of fantastic family photos for them! But we kept shooting for the full hour any way and got even more fun photos. These kids have no shortage of ideas for poses & shots so it was fun to follow them along and capture their lovely faces as well as their own unique set ups. 🙂 We also got some “school photos” of each kid. Instead of ordering their photos from school, these guys opt for more natural portraits of their kids, and then print them on small 2×3 prints to give out. What a great idea – nothing like the great outdoors and a natural smile to replace those traditional school photos with fake backgrounds! Here’s a preview of our time at Birds Hill Park yesterday – so happy to see that bright golden sun again after several hazy, dry days…
This past Spring our styled mini sessions for kids was once again a huge success and a ton of fun thanks to ALL these adorable kiddos and all the hard work that was put into designing the set! The kids all had so much fun watering the plants, playing hopscotch, riding a tricycle, playing with the skate board and of course running around in all those colourful balloons. They also took a much-deserved break with lemonade and cookies to relax after all that hard work of playing.
It was a great day of back-to-back photo sessions and by the end, I was thoroughly physically exhausted but my heart was so full! There were some familiar faces that I had the pleasure of seeing again… and I also had the privilege of meeting new little faces and getting to know them. Being new to photo shoots or not, it’s easy for these kids to forget they’re being photographed at all, and the results show all of that candid, free-for-all playtime. We love it!
All this would not be possible without the hard work & dedication of Emily Janzen of Feast & Festivities for designing the set and for setting up in between each session to make sure everything looked good. And she did this all while super pregnant – she’s the best! We also want to thank the following vendors for contributing to the scene:
