Family photoshoots capture the authentic emotion and connection of family in candid and lifestyle photos to be shared and treasured for years to come. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Toronto that makes it easy and fun to capture beautiful and natural photos of your family, you’ve come to the right place.

WHAT’S A LIFESTYLE FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT?
As you can tell from my website portfolio, I love to capture children and families in a very relaxed manner. I typically spend between an hour to an hour and a half shooting, no forced smiles-no overwrought posing , just very easy-going and stress-free for all involved.



WHERE WILL THE SESSION TAKE PLACE?
The shoot will take place in your home, an outdoor location or a beautiful studio in Toronto such as this one in the East end of the city. I rent 15 different studios each with a unique look and feel.



Because I work with natural light, at-home sessions are scheduled in the mornings. Outdoor sessions are usually scheduled in the late afternoons – the light is beautiful about an hour and a half before sunset, but that can be “iffy” for little ones unless they are dependable nappers. Once you decide to book, we’ll discuss what location works best for your family and find a date.


WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR FOR OUR FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT?
It’s so important to be yourself so don’t feel like you have to dress up for the occasion. A good and simple rule is to coordinate but not match. Feel free to play around with layers and accessories . You can find more tips on how to dress your family for the photo shoot over on my “What to Wear” Pinterest Board.


WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?
As a natural-light photographer, I always leave a few slots available each month in case we need to reschedule due to rain or bad weather.
HOW CAN WE PREPARE FOR THE PHOTOSHOOT?
I will send you a PDF guide before the shoot with information on how to prepare for the session. If you’re worried about your child’s behaviour, please know that I have seen it all. Out of seeming chaos, beautiful portraits can come – trust me on this one! The number one rule is to relax and know your kids are born models!
