These two love birds rocked it! I’m really looking forward to their wedding at Monora Park:
Fall Portraits | Orangeville and Alton
Monora Park, Alton Millcroft & Mono Cliffs are just a few spots that are perfect for fall portraits!
I love seeing families year after year watching them grow and capturing beautiful memories.
Here are a few families I’ve photographed over the past week or so:
Newborn Shoot | August 2022 | Homeshoot
In-home shoots for newborns work so well. Comfy, relaxed and easy to change a diaper if needed! We plan for the worst, but this little guy was on the ball during our shoot! He was so full of expression and shared lots of faces in the short hour we were together:
Sunflower Family Photos | Orangeville, ON
This awesome family has introduced me to a new spot. Sunflowers at the perfect time of day with a beautiful family makes for a good evening! The owner of David’s Family Farm is amazing, kind and has clearly has put a lot of work into making some great photo opportunities.
I love exploring new locations, especially when it looks like this:

Their property was absolutely perfect for photos and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding here:

Tree Farm Family Photos | Hillsburgh, Ontario 2020
Ohhh how I love this spot! I brought along this photogenic family to Elliot Tree Farm located in Hillsburgh, Ontario. The trees are lush and the scenery is just perfect for photos! This is some of what we captured:
Secret Proposal Photography | Orangeville, Ontario
I’ve got to tell this cool story! Clinton deserves some brownie points or a medal for orchestrating such an amazing proposal. He reached out to me in hopes of being able to secretly capture his proposal without her seeing or knowing I was there… of course I wanted to be a part of it! So after a bit of back and forth about locations, Clinton went a few days early to a local hiking trail I suggested and found the absolute PERFECT spot to pull off this plan. He sends me photos along with his thoughts and backup locations just in case.
Fast-forward to the day of: I arrived early so I could scope out a place to hide and be sure I’ll be hidden. Trouble is, ALL the leaves on the tree’s that would normally provide great cover are all on the ground. This mean’s I’ve got nothing to hide behind, and if I moved at all, the sound would be SO loud from the dried leaves. After searching and searching, the angle I decided on had me fully prone in a small "ditch” only a few feet away from the trail. I knew if I laid still and on my stomach they’d have a really hard time seeing me, and the angle was the best angle for pictures - so I committed to the muddy/leafy ditch.
15 minutes go by and I hear leaves rustling... they are early. I triple check the camera settings and as I’m right about to pop out and start taking shots I see 4 legs… a dog! False alarm! Both the dog and their human walk by without seeing me. My hiding spot must be pretty good considering I was less than 10 feet away from the trail.
10 more minutes go by and I hear two faint voices and some footsteps. I listen closely until I hear their feet stop. It’s go time! Like a ninja, I slowly push up onto my elbow’s and lock onto the proposal that’s seconds away from taking place. This is what I captured:
Orangeville Newborn Fall Photos | October 2020
This family welcomed their one week old baby boy recently. I was fortunate to be a part of such a special time in their lives, and to capture some cozy family moments!
Vibrant Fall Colours | Orangeville Photos | Fall 2020
I’m so fortunate to live in a country with four unique seasons. The vibrant colours of fall are amazing in Ontario, especially in the local parks of Orangeville such as Monora Park. I’ve got quite a few local spots that I like to hike and take pictures of during fall - with this park being one of my go-to’s for portraits. It’s accessible got lots of variety and the leaves are just perfect! These two fit in perfectly with the awesome fall vibe:
Colourful Outdoor Portraits | Orangeville | Fall 2020
This beautiful group were so sweet and fun! They took my ideas in stride, and come up with some awesome ideas of their own:
Fall Portraits | Dogs, leaves and Kisses | Alton Millcroft Trail
Dogs, fall colours and two people in love? Count me in! This group joined me for a trail hike located in Alton near the Millcroft Inn. I used to walk this trail as kid all the time, so I was stoked to return and photograph this family:
Colourful Fall Family Photos | Monora Park | Orangeville 2020
Monora Park in Orangeville is such a great location for fall photos. Accessible, colorful and lots of variety. This awesome family rocked their photo session at the park. These two young boys were bundle of energy and giggles! They totally reminded me of me and my younger brother - full of fun and silly faces! We managed to wrangle them in for some photos in between the running, jumping and leave tossing:
