This is a professional photography session including children photography, engagement photography and family photography all in one location.  After booking a session I take a drive and scout different locations.  When I’m given the opportunity to choose the location I try and go somewhere I have never been before.  This Orangeville, Ontario family including six kids, two adults, two dogs, a car and a guitar agreed to meet me in Erin, Ontario and I was very excited.  Now, I have been to Erin many, many times and this time I arrived a half hour early so that I could take a look around.  I had the option of photographing in a park, city street, waterfront, fields with barns and old abandoned cars or streetscapes.   I decided to photograph this family in one amazing location in Erin, Ontario just outside of the Orangeville city limits.  I had to try and find a place where I could contain the whole family and still get a number of different backdrops.  So I  took them to a place in a park with a beautiful rock wall, a creek, huge trees for shade and stone steps and all without distractions from the very busy town of Erin, Ontario.  Normally, I would have used the urban part of Erin, Ontario as well as the parks, but in this case I decided to keep it all in one location.  We photographed this session on a weekend and given the amount of small children I felt it best to keep the distractions to a minimum.  I had decided to meet this family in an ice cream parlor parking lot, but changed it at the last minuted to the parking lot across the street.  No telling what could have happened had they seen the ice cream parlor prior to the family photography session.  I love elaborate family sessions like these where there are numerous scenarios to shoot.  While I focused on the engagement photography,  the children played in the creek, and while I photographed the children , the parents sat and played guitar.  The dogs ran around while the children played with dragon fly’s  and crayfish in the creek.  What a day for a professional engagement, family and children photography session.  !!!!!!!

I had the pleasure of going to one of my favorite places in the world……Field, B.C.  and was so thrilled to be able to attend my aunts and new uncles wedding.  One of the most original weddings I had ever experienced.  It took place on Emerald Lake in canoes.  There were approx.  120pp. or so in canoes to witness this blessed event.  We all took off from the dock and paddled to the other side of Emerald Lake where the ceremony would take place.  I can’t put into words how moving this ceremony was and it was very difficult to photograph while I was crying.  I would love to take this opportunity to welcome Bruce into the family and to let Marilyn know that I could not be happier for her.  You guys are absolutely wonderful together.
