Family Portraits in the park – Sunnidale Park, Barrie ON

When was the last time you had a family portrait done? Can’t remember? The first family portrait with my family that I remember having done was back in 1990, we had just arrived in Canada, and my mom thought we should decorate our walls with a family portrait! To this day, she still has that photo hanging on her wall, and my sister and I still have a good laugh at our clothing and hair styles every time we look at it… It’s fun to reminisce about those days! Family portraits have come a long way since then, and people are more willing to experiment with new styles, and locations, to achieve a more relaxed feel, that will better reflect your family’s personality! If you are considering having a family photo session done, take a look at the Comeau-Graham family below, and I’m sure you’ll be convinced to get your own family portrait done! They wanted something fun and relaxed, and of course they had to include the dogs, they are after all part of the family, and we had a blast chasing squirrels! I hope you enjoy checking out their photos, at the gorgeous Sunnidale Park in Barrie, ON and consider booking your own family photo session!

Smile,

Sandra

Jenn & Chris Winter Engagement | Rosemont, ON

A few weeks ago, we were spoiled with summer weather, and now back to the reality of a Canadian spring! I must say that I am bias to Spring. We got married in the spring, and started Bphotographed in the spring, you know what they say, Spring means new beginnings! We live in a beautiful country, and embracing a Canadian winter, even if it was a mild one this year, is definitely the way to go. Don’t get me wrong I like to escape to a warm country in the middle of our winter just as much as the next guy, but at least we can say we have all four seasons, and we can enjoy them all in the great Canadian outdoors! Jenn and Chris wanted a winter engagement session, so of course this year, we had to have a mild winter… : ) Jenn and Chris were so anxious that they were not going to able to get their wintery photos, that they were almost prepared to settle, and then mother nature cooperated, and sent one final snowfall, and voila, we got to work! Thank you Jenn and Chris for choosing us for your special day, we can’t wait for your fall wedding! Congratulations from Cris and Sandra…

Katharine & Derek | Nottawasaga Inn Resort – Alliston, ON

Winter weather is usually unpredictable, except maybe for the fact that it’s usually cold. This winter was definitely a mild one; however, because we were shooting a winter wedding, and I dislike the cold, on February 11th, 2012 Katharine and Derek said “I Do” on the coldest day of the year… it figures : ) I must say though that I was really impressed with the fact that these two were so determined to brave the cold, simply to take advantage of the gorgeous sunshine, and the even more beautiful snow that fell just the night before. Canadian winters may sometime be treacherous, but I absolutely love to photograph in the winter, it seems the cold gives people a different glow, or maybe it’s just the blushing bride thing : )

Congratulations Katharine and Derek on your marriage, and thank you so much for choosing us to be a part of your special day, we are truly blessed.

Kassandra & Daniel Trash The Dress | Punta Cana – Dominican Republic

Trash the dress sessions are a huge amount of fun, even though to a bride it can be a little daunting! Fear not dear ones, the “trash the dress” name unfortunately does not do justice to the amount of fun you will have with this awesome photo shoot. Typically it would be done after your wedding day, where the nerves are gone, relaxation is kicking in, and to top it off you get to wear your dress again : ) that’s a huge bonus if you ask me… Kassandra was one of those brides, she wore a gorgeous Vera Wang gown, so “trashing it” was the last thing on her mind, it took a little convincing, and up until the time of entering the ocean she was still nervous about it! But after looking at the photos below you will agree with me, the same way she did, it will be best decision you’ll make! A trash the dress session does not have to consist of rolling in the sand and getting wet, which is why with Kassandra and Daniel we spent a good portion of the time walking around the resort and getting shots in locations that on the wedding day we never had a chance to do, because of timing. We had such an amazing time with these two and their families in Punta Cana, and now they have these amazing shots to show off to their friends. Thank you Kassandra and Daniel for having us, and for being so brave and going along with us and our vision, we really are blessed for having met you all.

Maricel & Patrick eSession | McMichael Art Gallery – Kleinburg, ON

Maricel & Patrick are a super cute couple! They were a little nervous about the engagement session, and a little shy, but that didn’t last long… Engagement sessions are great ice breakers, that’s one the main reasons we encourage them. Planning a wedding can be stressful, and having to worry about your photographer, or how your photos are going to turn out, can drive a couple nuts. An engagement session can be that time when you get to know your photographer, and vice versa. It’s a time for experimenting with looks, especially for the brides, that often get their hair and makeup trials done for engagement photos, new poses, this is usually for the grooms that often feel awkward about posing for photographers, and best of all new locations! Maricel and Patrick wanted their engagement photos done at McMichael Art Gallery, but we had never shot there, so to us it was an awesome opportunity to discover a new location, and since then we have recommended it to other couples. We are very excited to photograph Maricel and Patrick’s wedding coming up in June of this year, and can’t thank them enough for choosing us!
