At the lake is where generations of families make memories – there’s something about a family cottage that gathers people, builds connections and creates memories that go beyond a lifetime. It was such a joy to be able to capture all this love and to honour the memories of the family members that started this legacy.
We began the session with photos at the cottage followed by a walk to the beach for a few more shots. We managed to schedule it in just before a big downpour! What a fun family – it was a delight to create these images for them and help them honour the past and cherish the present. Here is a preview from our time at Victoria Beach:
When Helen messaged me, she expressed wanting great portraits and candid shots of her with her four boys to blow up and put on their walls at home. We immediately started planning a sunset session at Birds Hill Park, to capture a variety of landscapes: both fields and forests but also the beach.
We scheduled it on a warm July evening at exactly the right time to capture all that magical golden sun that we all get nostalgic about. (This hour changes depending on the time of year, but generally it’s about 1-2 hours before sunset).
We started taking photos on the edge of a tree line for photos in the shade, then we moved to an open grassy field before finishing the session at the beach as the sun got lower in the sky.
Here are some highlights from our fun photo shoot. Her boys were the sweetest most adorable set of brothers ever! They posed for some lovely photos with their mom, but we also gave them space to run around and have fun to get all those candid shots.
