I remember just loving working with Wenwen and her family, so I was super excited when she emailed me this year to book a photo shoot with her baby. And what a cute baby! Loved loved meeting and working with baby Christopher.

We started at their place and went for a walk in Unionville. That park is absolutely beautiful! Her mom was also there so we had the chance to snap a few romantic photos for Shawn and Wenwen as well. :)

Let me share some of my favorites with you.

This shoot was to celebrate Cassidy’s birthday. Highlight was definitely her big sister, Kaelin, pulling her in the wagon around Edward Gardens. Had so much fun with these two little ladies!!

Let me share some of my favorites with you. :)

8 photo shoots later I finally decided to ask the parents if they were okay with me using a couple of photos of their kids on my website. And, for my surprise, they said I could use any photo I wanted. Absolutely adore these photos, there’s so much happiness and love – I can’t help but post some of them here. :)

Edward Gardens and High Park are the most popular locations among my clients for family shoots, so I was actually surprised this year when I got two families wanting to go over there (check out my Facebook Page to see the photos from the other family shoot!). I’m always at the Brick Works for engagements sessions, so it was nice to go there with a family for a change.

I had a great time with Faysal, Liyana and their parents. These kids were super cute and fun to be around! Let me share some of the amazing pictures we got from that morning. :)

I tend to focus on couples on my blog for obvious reasons, but I promised myself I’d post more family shoots this year. I will also try to post some from last year, I just need to have time to go through my disks.

Last month I had the pleasure to work with these three little guys and their parents at the beautiful Richmond Green. Here are some of my favorites!

I’m still drowning in wedding and family photos to edit, but I just had to stop everything I was doing to post this. Love these photos, had to share it now otherwise I’m sure I’d forget.

Now let me get back to work. :)

Thing is, after you have kids, your priorities change quite a bit. I’m always working on weekends and then, on weekdays, I also have to stay on my computer editing photos. When I’m done with the editing, I just want to spend as much time as I can with my daughter and this blog, unfortunately, is not a priority anymore. I do post some new work on my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/YukiNodaPhotography); that’s the place where you should go to check out my newest work.

This is Francesco and this photo session is celebrating his 100th day, a special occasion in Chinese culture. It was such a pleasure to meet this cute little baby and his older brother, Matteo.

Our shoot started with just Francesco and his mom. A few minutes later, Matteo and his dad arrived from swimming lessons. First thing Matteo did was go to his brother room and hug him! Cutest thing EVER! It was incredible to see such a young boy caring so much about his younger brother.

From all the shoots I’ve had last year in this place, this one is my favorite! Loved shooting this cute little family! The kite sequence was quite hard since the wind was not helping at all, but in the end we did get great images out of it.

I won’t even start to talk about weather – I lost count of how many times we had to reschedule this shoot. Hopefully will have a sunny 2014. :)

This shoot is from a couple of months ago and they’re already in their camper driving through the greatest sceneries! They actually have a blog and you can checkout their adventures on this link.

Good luck, guys! Hope you have the time of your life in this amazing trip!

I never had a client so worried about what to wear – I lost count of the number of e-mails we exchanged discussing outfits. In the end all the hard work that this mom had thinking of combination of colors, etc. paid off… the family looks beautiful!

This year I’ve been thinking of not shooting families anymore since I’m getting really exhausted shooting weddings almost every weekend, dealing with a two year old, editing photos till 3AM in the morning, and taking family shoots on weekdays, but it’s hard to say no to families wanting their pictures taken after we see these results.
