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!
Family photography isn’t just for little kids! Teenagers grow up so fast, and making sure to get some good family photos before you’re an empty nester is important. I met up with Loreleen’s family at St. Vital Park this fall. We were lucky enough to get some of the nicest colours and temperatures of the season on the exact evening that we scheduled! October 11th can be hit or miss, but that day was especially nice this year. I’m thrilled we got to capture so many great portraits, fun moments, and of course photos with their adorable dog too. Here is a preview from our time at the park!
It’s Thanksgiving weekend, and what better way to spend the afternoon with family than with a fun photo shoot before dinner time! Elaine rounded up 25 of her family members at A.D. Penner park in Steinbach and with the rain clouds looming above, we managed to capture all these photos before the rain came down. I had so much fun with everyone! They all posed so well (and so efficiently!) and they got into all the fun, creative photos too (including jumping in sync on top of the hill!). Here is a preview from our time together. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Every September I host mini family sessions in Winnipeg and the spots sell out so quickly! Families with little kids or older teenagers love these types of sessions because it’s not too long, and it keeps everyone engaged (and not bored!) for just the right amount of time.
This year I did the mini sessions at Kings Park on a Saturday afternoon and into the early evening, and it was absolutely beautiful! Fifteen minutes may seem like a short amount of time, but it’s enough to capture posed pictures and candid shots. I also love taking close up portraits of each kid (and headshots for the adults, if they want one).
Here’s a preview of some of the photos that we took this year. I still have a few more mini session and half-session spots left for October 2024. Just contact me to see my available dates!
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.
