It's no secret that I love shooting outdoors, and as summer is winding down I’ll take any chance I can get to have an outdoor session, especially given the summer we’ve had.

As part of the baby first year plan, where we’ve have sessions at the newborn, 4 month, 8 month, and then at 12 months, this was Stephanie and Jeff’s second session with their little baby girl. The first session was a little rocky as she wasn’t feeling very well, but since then she has completely changed since the last time I saw her, and is growing up to be quite the diva.

Here a few favourites from the session.

I just wanted to say congrats to my good friends Jay and Raina who had twins recently.
When I got the news initially I couldn’t believe it, but now I have photos that prove it. I can’t wait to see them as they grow up together.

Here are a few favourite images from a family session with Shannon, Shawn and their little boy Nicholas. As the whole family is used to getting up really early, we decided it would be best to have an early morning session. With an early session the light is nice and soft, not harsh like the mid-day sun.

Just spending a little time with this family I could feel how much love they have for their little boy. He's so sweet and don't you just love his innocent look!

Enjoy

This past Saturday was Jayden’s second birthday and I still can’t believe it. I can still clearly remember two years ago, holding him in my arms just after my wife gave birth, and now look at him.

We started the day opening presents, and then thankfully the weather was great so we decided to head out to Whittamore’s farm in Markham. It was our first time there, and I was really impressed. There’s lots to do there for the kids and adults too. After that we headed home for the afternoon nap and then finally cake and ice cream.

Here are a few favourites.

We got him a Diego tent and I managed to capture this expression…love it.

We take turns photographing each other. He loves Iggle Piggle…but who doesn’t? His first time milking a cow. Ok it’s not a real cow but he was so proud. We had to get an Elmo cake courtesy of Carolyn.

Of course Elmo didn’t last long when a 2 year old is wielding a knife.
