Summer Family Session | Glengarry, Ontario | Cornwall & Ottawa Family Photographer
Family sessions are in full swing around here, usually till late October & into November! I truly adore family sessions!! My favourite part is capturing each families unique story & connection! Each family interacts with each other a tad differently, making each session different!
I recently photographed the Proulx family at our property, they even included their family dog Bella! I have been blessed to have photographed this family a few years ago & am amazed at how much the boys have grown!!
They came all prepared for our session together & were ready to have fun, laugh, interact plus enjoy some time with each other!! I loved Jeana’s dress!!! It was full of movement & suited to surroundings perfectly!!
Jeana commented on her questionnaire, that it is hard to get “real” smiles out of her boys…I have to say, that comment was false!! Many families tell me the same thing… “we aren’t photogenic people” & are concerned they will be awkward in front of the camera! Happens...every…single…time!!
Do these guys look un-photogenic or awkward?? I hope not!!
As mother’s, we often forget to get photographs with our children! Taking for granted that there will be SO many other opportunities for those photographs…wrong!! We should jump on any chance to get into the photo with our kiddos, they grow so quickly & we always have an excuses not to be in the photo!
I really try to incorporate images with each parent & their children, they are such a beautiful keepsake!!
Dad’s deserve photographs with the children too!! Usually though, those turn into a wrestling match pretty quickly….boys will be boys!!
Jeana asked right at the beginning of our session, if it was possible to have photographs with Gary’s guitar….of course!!! I love it when clients bring along extra props that mean something to them, it adds an extra story to their images!!
Logan is just beginning to learn to play the guitar from his Dad…he played me a wonderful quick song! Very impressive indeed…my father plays the acoustic guitar & I know how hard it is on your fingertips!!
I was beyond thrilled to have captured these images for the Proulx family!! They were awesome to work with & kept me smiling the whole session! Each time a session is finished, at least one family member will comment “We’re done?! Well, that was super easy!!”…that tells me that I did my job right!!!
Currently booking September/October family sessions!! Don’t miss out on capturing images of your family!!
