I spent a warm afternoon with Charlie as he explored the forests of the Arboretum.

A Year in Jacobâ€™s Life, Session Four

Mike — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:30:39 +0000

For Jacob’s final session we spent the afternoon in a park close to his home. We had fun on the slides and in the swings…

…and of course Andrea was there too!

They grow up so fast!

A Year in Jackâ€™s Life, Session Four

For the fourth and last session with Jack, we went to the arboretum to take advantage of the warm weather and fall colours. Next up will be his album…can’t wait to get crackin!

These three crazy kids stopped running around (sorta) long enough for me to create some photos for Mom. Talk about active kids!

I met up with this family of kooks for a family session, although I didn’t know they were kooks until I got there. Lots of fun, tree climbing, and people making out in the background. Awesome!

Maybe a park in the middle of the day isn’t the best spot for this

A Year in Emily’s Life, Session Four

Mike — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:55:42 +0000

I’ve had so much fun getting to know Erika and Michael and their growing family. It all started four years ago, with the first session for their son Christian. Over the course of that year we created some of my all-time favourite image, culminating in Christian’s album.

When Emily came along we picked up right where we left off, and created even more great images for her Year in the Life. And now, we have Emily’s last session, and we wanted to make it a great one. So we all met up at Saunder’s Farm and had fun exploring playgrounds, waterparks and super-slides!

Thanks for always making me feel like family, guys!

Jordana

I first met Julie and Michael six years ago, when I photographed their engagement and wedding. I’m happy to say that over the years we’ve stayed in contact, and now they have a beautiful daughter, Jordana. We met up at the Arboretum for a family shoot, as Jordana is already running around

Congrats on the beautiful family guys!

A Year in Jack’s Life, Session Three

Mike — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 20:15:03 +0000

I enjoyed a sunny and warm summer afternoon with Jack near the Ottawa River…oh, and Melissa and Pete were there too! This is Jack’s third Year in the Life session, and I can’t believe how much he’s grown already!

Polly was there too of course, but her fur coat meant lots of panting

Elissa, Patrik, Oskar and Lulu

Elissa and Patrik spent the afternoon along the Ottawa River with their kids Oskar and Lulu, exploring the tall grass and playing in the water. The light was perfect, and this charming family made my job easy!

There were strawberries…

…super-heroes…

…and a mild-mannered family, all in one!

I had a great time guys!

A Year in Sacha’s Life, Session One

Mike — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:47:31 +0000

Harkiran, Tod and I first met almost six month ago, when we did a maternity session at their home. Since then, little Sacha has come into to world, and I had fun getting to know him during his first Year in the Life session. He was a trooper in the evening light, and we got some great stuff.

Sacha had time for an airplane ride with dad…
…before hunger pangs took over

Tika got into the action too, of course, mostly by being patient.
