W Family: Photos at St. Vital Park

Yesterday I met this adorable crew at St. Vital Park for a family photo session. Thankful for the recent much-needed rain, the setting was green and lush, finally! In the middle of their busy family schedule and the May long weekend, they made the time to update their family photos, and they pulled it off perfectly! They hadn’t had photos taken in 8 years, so being able to capture their family was such a joy. They were so wonderful to work with and such a delight to photograph. Here’s a preview!

Loewen Family Photos at Assiniboine Park

These guys had a lot of milestones last month and to celebrate all these special occasions, Corinne planned a family portrait session for the four of them this July. A wedding anniversary, a high-school graduation and a sweet 16 – wow! I couldn’t be happier to take these photos with them and to celebrate with them. Here’s a preview from our lovely evening at the English Garden at Assiniboine Park.

La Famille Parent – Winnipeg Family Photography

Renelle and Miguel are celebrating their 10 year wedding anniversary this summer so they decided to gift themselves a family photo session to commemorate the big milestone. It was such a beautiful morning at King’s Park, and such a pleasure to meet them all! I was happy to be able to hang out with these guys and speak French together, especially knowing that their kids don’t even speak any English yet. They were so cute and totally reminded me of my own kids. Such cuties!

The kids had fun running throughout the park, chasing frogs, climbing trees and smelling the flowers. Apparently after the session, the kids told their parents that the shoot was fun and “it’s like playing, but we’re taking photos!”. Yes, exactly that! Even for me! 🙂 Here’s a preview from the hour we spent together:

Griffin’s First Birthday Photo Shoot

A year ago I met Griffin at his newborn photo session when he was just a wee little guy, and yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing him again, this time, all grown up! We went to his great-aunt’s amazing (and huge) backyard and got some great photos of him with balloons and of course, a cake to smash. Both sets of grandparents were there and also got a chance to jump into some of the photos. This guy is well-loved and oh-so cute! He was all smiles, and got into the cake like a true birthday boy should! Happy birthday Griffin!170710GT3172 170710GT3192 170710GT3200 170710GT3321 170710GT3363 170710GT3439 170710GT3449 170710GT3457 170710GT3479

Klassen Family Photos at Grand Beach

Jodi is a good friend of mine who also happens to be a talented photographer who has been taking my family’s photos for years now, as I have been for them. This year we decided to have fun with our photo session swap, and instead of doing it on separate days, we scheduled them both for the same evening. We drove up to Grand Beach together with our husbands and kiddos to take turns photographing each other’s families. It was a hot summer evening, the weather forecast was thankfully wrong (no hail, thundershowers or tornado in sight, as was forecasted earlier that day!) and we had a blast!

Watching Jodi’s kids grow up has been such a treat for me – they are the cutest and always so fun to run around with for photos. The evening ended off with all 5 of our kids running into the lake, swimming in their clothes, and having fun until sun down. Such good memories were created! Here’s a preview of Jodi’s family photos from our lovely evening out at the beach.
