8 photo shoots later I finally decided to ask the parents if they were okay with me using a couple of photos of their kids on my website. And, for my surprise, they said I could use any photo I wanted. Absolutely adore these photos, there's so much happiness and love - I can't help but post some of them here. :)

This time I'm showing you my Family Photo Book, a 30-page 8 x 8 laminated hardcover book - pages layflat with photographic paper. I never push these albums on my clients since nowadays you can get a photo album from Walmart for close to nothing, but the quality of these are just amazing!

It was a Monday - left Whitby at 9:30am to get to the Scarborough Bluffs for a family shoot. This was a family I had worked with last year - I got amazing images back in 2013 so I was pretty excited about the shoot this year.

But once I left the 401, it was SOOO foggy I knew I'd have to cancel the shoot. While we were talking about rescheduling I mentioned Whitby was not foggy when I left my house. To my surprise, they decided to come to Whitby and have their shoot here. :)

Started at Central Park and ended our shoot by the lake. We didn't get a sunny day, but the photos are stunning anyways! Loved them so much I had to share these with you - even though I have over 5000 wedding images to go through right now.

Edward Gardens and High Park are the most popular locations among my clients for family shoots, so I was actually surprised this year when I got two families wanting to go over there (check out my Facebook Page to see the photos from the other family shoot!). I'm always at the Brick Works for engagements sessions, so it was nice to go there with a family for a change.

I had a great time with Faysal, Liyana and their parents. These kids were super cute and fun to be around! Let me share some of the amazing pictures we got from that morning. :)

I remember we had a bit of chance of rain for that Sunday, but we were really lucky and got another beautiful day. Decoration was classic and elegant and the party could've not been more fun! Reception was definitely the highlight of the day - Hanaa and Asher were super cute singing "Time of My Life" (from Dirty Dancing), we had some very emotional (and some very funny) speeches and the guests were really enjoying themselves at the dance floor.

Congrats, Hanaa and Asher! May the years to come bring loads of joy and fill your lives with unbounded love. ♥

We had to reschedule this shoot 3 or 4 times because weather is just not helping at all this year. First it was freaking cold, then it was too cold still, then it rained, and on the 4th time we just decided to go ahead with it even though the day was super cloudy and calling for a bit of rain.

The day was pretty gray when I got there - that really didn't matter because the location was gorgeous. But during the final minutes of our shoot (which you're seeing first here), the sun decided to show up. Perfect ending to a great photo session. ♥

Forecast was calling for thunderstorms on that Saturday, but we got a pretty bright day - it was also Doors Open Toronto, so we had to deal with lots of people everywhere! Good thing Lo & Chris were okay being on the spotlight and we manage to capture great shots in a very tight schedule.

Congrats, Lo & Chris! It’s so great to see two awesome people like you getting married. Love and best wishes always! ♥

Adam's aunt decided to give him this shoot as graduation gift. The location? Their own backyard, which I loved - it made the shoot much more intimate and special. Everybody was pretty emotional since Adam was leaving for university soon.

So let me share my favorites with you - hope that parents seeing this will rethink about stop taking photos with their kids just because they're not little and "cute" anymore. ;)

This was a very lovely intimate wedding - they exchanged vows in front of their family and two of their closest friends at the beautiful Old Mill Inn.

A couple of weeks before the wedding we were a bit worried about the weather. Forecast wasn't that great for their big day so they decided to book Knox College, which is a gorgeous location for indoor photos. We were really lucky - by the time we actually needed to be outdoors, the rain had stopped so we were able to get some amazing photos outdoors as well.

Congrats, Dora and Paul! Wishing you lots of joy and happiness always. ♥

You might remember Wilmar and David from a stunning E-Session at Cherry Beach a few months ago. If you haven't seen it, don't forget to check out their e-session clicking here.

They got married this past June at the beautiful Toronto Botanical Gardens, followed by the traditional 10-course chinese dinner reception (yummy!).

Congratulations, Wilmar and David, hope you guys have a wonderful life together! ♥
