As I photographer, I love the unscripted of storytelling sessions. They are real moments in you life, frozen so that in years to come, when your kids have kids of their own, they can look back and not just remember what they did, but my hope is that the images I take for you will be filled with the emotion of the day as well. 

Your kids are covered in dirt from head to toe? Your little one refuses to smile without crossing his eyes?  roll with it because it is who they are. It is my job to create a work of art from the moments that your family treasures. I do that best in relaxed, in home settings. 

These images were taken at 8:30 in the morning. I wasn't even going to bother bringing the camera down to the dock . ..the kids weren't going to go in they said. I am glad I did. Because the following images are some of my favourite from our time on Lake Simcoe. 

So when you hire a photographer, trust them. Let them work their magic and capture your family in the style of photography that is dear to their hearts - the images you get will be better for it!!

We love summer here at Moment in Time Photography. It is the time of year where adventures are had, long days are spent exploring and running wild and free. Summer is the time of year where children can truly be themselves, there are no constraints on their time and each day is filled with waiting adventure.

"We must take adventures in order to know where we truly belong."
There is nothing better then spending a long weekend camping, even if it is grey, cool and foggy much of the weekend. Adventure is all around us, we only need to be willing to step out for it to find us.
When with my kids, I gravitate to the details, the little things that I am going to forget in 10 years, but want to remember. 
The way they group together to intently study whatever creature they have found, the sand stuck to their toes, the wind blown hair. All of it matters, all of it draws me.

This June, my dad turned 65. We drove approximately 1500 kms to surprise him for a weekend celebration over the Victoria Day weekend in May. 

Yes, I am very behind in blogging sessions! These are from last June, I had a full day of mini sessions for Dads to celebrate Father's Day. It was a beautiful day filled with amazing families.

They are a beautiful family. Filled with laughter, energy and pure delight. Their girls are happy-go-lucky and it was a pure pleasure to be able to photograph their family as they awaited the arrival of Baby Girl.

And these are the moments I love being able to capture from in-home newborn sessions. Things like this just don't happen in-studio!

This Mamma, apart from being stunning, is also insanely talented!  She is the lady I have the privilege of getting the cakes for my cake smash sessions from. If you have a chance, swing by Faircakes and Other Bakes and check out her work. I am always so impressed with her creations. . . and keep in mind that these are ones that little fingers and toes are going to destroy for fun!! The time and skill that goes into them, not to mention being Mommy to two little ones running around.
It was with great delight that I was able to capture their family.

"For it was not into my ear you whispered,
                            but into my heart.
It was not my lips you kissed,
          but my soul."
