Family Shoot in Rose Garden

It's always exciting to try a new location for a family photo shoot. When it is a young family, I look for space – space to move in, space that the children will find fun and interesting, a location filled with lots of unique nooks and crannies to keep them occupied and give me the opportunity to photograph them as they explore. 

When planning a recent shoot I asked the couple if they had a preference for the location. They asked if I thought the rose garden on William St. in Belleville would work so I told them I would check it out. A few nights prior to the shoot I dropped by the gardens and I immediately knew it would be a great spot for us to spend our Sunday morning.

Everything was on our side. Perfect weather. Beautiful gardens. We couldn't have asked for more. It was Father's Day and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed photographing this father with his family on his special day.

 

Portrait Possibilities

Winter presents a wonderful opportunity for portraits in non-traditional settings – capturing a look that stands out from the typical green backdrop found during the summer months. This weekend I did a shoot by the Moira River taking advantage of the sun's final rays at day's end. A scattering of clouds added to the sky's dramatic statement and we used that to our advantage. Great hats, mittens and furry collars will give your shots character and interest, resulting in unique portraits. We can plan family photos that reflect how you and your family enjoy our Canadian winters: gather round the snowmobile, strap on those snowshoes or line up on those cross-country skis. You'll all have rosy cheeks and smiles on your faces – what a great image to have for next year's family holiday greetings to friends and family.
