Toronto Islands Lifestyle Couples Session: Josh + Erin
They were up for a mini adventure so they took the ferry to a nearby island and went exploring. Because of recently flooding, it was quite empty except for residents and a few visitors but it just meant that Erin and Josh had the place to themselves.
The best part of this lifestyle session was that there was no pressure for them. Because they're already married, this was a time for enjoy being married. All they had to do was have a good time and it was my job to capture that.
Josh and Erin, thank you for believing in the reason for creating and collecting memories. I hope this small set of snapshots will stay with you until your next adventure.
The sunset was beautiful that night and the last light glowed behind the Toronto skyline.
Maternity: Tina and Jon
Jon wanted to give Tina memorable photographs to document this time before they started the next exciting stage in their lives: Parenthood. It truly is a meaningful and thoughtful gift. We forget a lot of the journey leading up to a major life event and photographs have the power to help us remember not only the big, but also all the little moments.
Tina has the cutest baby bump and it's hard to believe she's due very soon.
Lifestyle: JR Authentics
Working with baby and puppy models is really more like a workout. There's lots of jumping and moving around and by the end, I've worked up a sweat. But it's worth it. Every moment is significant because when it comes to kids, those moments goes by fast and you can't get those precious early years back.
My creative friends over at JR Authentics started an organic baby clothing company where their newest designs feature cute handlettering by our talented friend, Doris of Love Lettering.
This super cute little guy volunteered (ok, his photographer aunt did) to model this latest collection and I'd say he did pretty well for his first modelling gig :)
Food: Adventures In Icing
Adriana of Adventures In Icing makes cute cookies for any occasion. They're delicious and consistent, which is what sets them apart and they make great gifts and party treats.
I got to watch the entire process while taking a few photos along the way. The best part was the smell of freshly baked cookies filling the room :)
The cutest mittens and snowflakes.
