This adorable family came all the way from London, Ontario for a family portrait session with me. Being new to Hamilton myself, I went location-scouting to find the perfect spot for their style! (And found some other great ones in the process – I can’t wait to shoot there!)

While Peyton could be bribed with candy, Riley was a little less co-operative and not at all interested in bribes. But we got some great shots regardless! As parents you want that perfect shot, but as we all know children are unpredictable and sometimes you have to settle for portraits that are more natural. I’m loving the way these ones turned out.

I love these fun shots, they might be my favourite from the day! “Boys will be boys” is what I walked away from this shoot thinking to myself. Many stones, sticks and chunks of dirt were touched and/or put into mouths during the session. But what can you do! I had a lot of fun spending my morning with these folks. I hope the boys especially will grow up and cherish these images.
