Mother nature tempered her crazy mood swings and we had a beautiful day to photograph Alicia and Vince’s engagement session. We explored a few different areas in Oakville and laughed so much that my abs are sore today. Thanks for the mini workout guys!
Here’s a few of our favs:
Love these:
So fun, a fallen tree across a little creek:
A quick outfit + location change, and we were back at it.

Our baby girl, who day by day surprises us, and seems less and less of a baby turned 2 on April 19th. We spent the day together, just the 3 of us, visiting parks, and doing what she loves. Watching animals and birds. We stopped by the Arboretum at RBG and can’t wait to go back again when the Lilacs will be blooming. This would be a beautiful location for an engagement session
She loves to wear dresses and all things girly, but would never turn down a little tree climbing adventure.
If you’ve ever met + hugged her you’ll know what this feels like:
She’s a fierce hugger, she’ll squeeze you as hard as she possibly can and won’t leg go right away. She gives the best hugs in the world and it’s one of my favourite things about her. They’re often accompanied by little grunts and sounds of clenched teeth. It’s the only way she knows how to hug. She’s intense and we wouldn’t have her any other way.
We kept walking and discovered some beautiful Magnolia trees. Their branches hung low to the ground and made a perfect little hideaway that she loved exploring.
We’ve decided to make it a family tradition, to have our photos taken in the spring around Amina’s birthday. Spring is my favourite season and with her birthday on April 19th, it’s the perfect time for family photos.
But I still can’t resist snapping a photo or two of my loves as often as I can:
This was taken over the Easter weekend, we were with family and friends and stole away for a few moments to take advantage of the beautiful light peeking through the trees.
I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend

Kristy and Xeon are sweet, funny and so down to earth. We’ve had the pleasure of photographing them before and were excited to shoot their engagement session this past fall. They wanted something a bit different from their open field maternity photos, so we headed to the city. Yorkville to be exact.
No matter where we go though, we look for clean lines, and simple backgrounds that allow us to put the focus on our subjects. I love how even in the heart of one of the busiest shopping districts in Toronto we still managed to find a few quiet nooks for these two to hangout.
A quick outfit change and we were off again:
My favourite! I love Kristy’s beautiful expression here:
We wrapped up the session with a few kisses by a little glass greenhouse:
