Anyways… while I still have those links, please visit both Sash and Satin and Toronto Mom Now to view a bit of my work. :)

An year has passed and she contact me to book a family photo shoot since Lucas would be turning 1. This time I was available and I’m really happy she remembered me. Lucas is such a cute baby!! I’m completely in love with this photos. :)

Jade was featured on this blog two years ago, when she was turning 16. She’s now 17 and prettier than ever.

I remember we were freezing on our first photo shoot, but this time the weather was quite nice – despite the rain!! This time, she decided to bring all her cousins for this shoot – isn’t that sweet? I love it when I meet teenagers that like to hang out with their family. :)

On this post, I want to talk about a section of this blog that usually goes unnoticed: the FAQ. If you’re thinking about booking a photo shoot with me, that’s a great place that answers most of your questions. There you will find answers regarding turnarounds, editing, my style of work, etc. These things are actually discussed when we meet up or talk over e-mail/phone (and they are also on the agreement you’ll sign), but it’s always good to check that out beforehand. This helps especially brides, that are usually talking to tons of photographers.

I’m talking about this because, every now and then, after the online gallery is up and you can view how your pictures turned out, I get requests for body modifications – “Can you make me look thinner??”. One thing that I always talk in meetings is how I dislike when photographers make clients look like plastic dolls or soap opera stars. I like people looking like themselves. And if you’re hiring me as your photographer, it’s because you liked my work and trust my point of view. A picture does not need to have a hot model to look amazing. If you go through my portfolio, you’ll see all kinds of people – and if you loved them, you need to know that those people over there are exactly like you see in the picture. You know what I dislike the most? When the white of the eyes are so white that if that was actually true I would run like crazy if you knocked on my door looking like that! Of course, as a photographer, I will for sure photograph you using the best angles, the ones that are most flattering to you! If you want to show your wedding pictures and then have people talking behind your back about how you were photoshopped thin, then I’m definitely not your type of photographer.

Now let’s actually talk about the pictures on this post! :)

Last summer I had the opportunity to work with Laura and Thomas again. I took pictures of them when they were six months old – you’ve probably already seen them here in the blog! – and now they are all grown up. But this time, instead of mom and dad, grandma and grandpa joined for some shots as well. :)

Some people think I just do weddings and engagement sessions. But I actually shoot lots of family photo sessions and even photo sessions with just one person! So today I’m posting this mother & daughter photo shoot I did last summer. I don’t even remember what month this was anymore – I think I’m suffering from mommy brain.

I first met Wenwen when she hired me to take pictures of herself and her husband – if you have patience you’ll find my blog post about them somewhere in here. Her mom saw the pictures and liked so much that Wenwen decided to give her a photo shoot as a gift. Although initially the photo shoot was just for her mom, I had to ask Wenwen to be part of the photo shoot as well to get some really nice mom & daughter portraits.
