Rose Family | South Glengarry, Ontario | Cornwall & Ottawa Family Photographer

I have said it a few times… I LOVE REPEAT CLIENTS!!! Who doesn’t?!?

I have known Kalica & her family for many years, thanks to playing soccer together!! Fun fact…we photographed their very first family photo in this exact same spot when she had her first daughter Kinley!! Now there is three of them!! :D

The biggest concern for clients with young children is, they are worried their kiddos won’t behave for their session!! I get it…as a mom myself I completely understand that worry!! Especially with youngsters, their mood can change in an instant & your generally happy, playful two year old can turn into a crying puddle of emotions within seconds!! Boy, have I been there & done that!!

First thing that I remind parents of littles is…don’t stress about their behaviour at all!! It’s a tall order, I know but if there is anything I have learned over the years it’s kids react off our emotions. So, if we are stressed, rushed or panicked they will pick up on that!! Instead, we try to focus on playing a game, walking, telling a story, tickles or just cuddling together as a family! If your little doesn’t want that….ok…we switch up the game plan & let them lead. Luckily, I didn’t have hardly any issues with these three little ladies…such sweet personalities!!

Huge tip…when scheduling your session, avoid choosing a time that interferes with nap or meal times!! Youngsters are never happy when they are tired or hungry!! You know your child best & already know if they are in great mood in the morning or afternoon…plan your session during that time frame!

We planned for a morning session, which is generally my favourite time to photograph sessions with little ones!!

As mentioned above, if your little ones aren’t interested in sitting down in front of the camera it’s time to switch it up!! We used swings, slides, walks & allowing them to explore to help capture some memories for this family!! Helps to keep everyone happy…even the youngest children!!

Even though this session was from last year, it still makes me smile every time I see the images, my favourite is the last image…sometimes black & white edit on a image helps to make the viewer focus on the emotion of the image! This one does just that!!

Always happy to photograph the Rose family & fingers crossed there is an updated session this summer?! ;)

I am currently booking July/August sessions!!! Yes, you read that right…there is only ONE date left for June!! Need a weekend session date?? Oh boy…those there are VERY few of those available, as weekend dates are always VERY limited!! Send me a quick message to see what’s available…
