Best Time To Book Your Autumn Mini Session

Mini sessions are here! After subscribers took advantage of presales, the remaining spots are open to everyone!

Some people ask, when is the best time to book a session? Well, to help you decide, I’ll first explain some differences. The main difference between a morning and late afternoon photo session lies in the quality and direction of the light.

In the morning, the light is soft, cool, and even, creating a fresh, peaceful atmosphere. The sun is lower in the sky, casting gentle shadows and a natural glow that’s perfect for bright, crisp images. The mornings have a lot less people around, and the kids are usually fully charged! It can be a bit chilly, so you may need some cozy sweaters or stylish jackets, which looks great for a fall session.

 

Morning Session

 

In the late afternoon, the light becomes warm and golden, adding a rich, glowing quality to photos. This lighting is more dramatic, creating stunning silhouettes and deep, vibrant colours, especially in autumn when the foliage is in full display. The late afternoon is usually a bit warmer in temperature too.

Afternoon Session

Regardless of when you book your session, each time of day offers a distinct mood, with morning being serene and refreshing, and late afternoon providing warmth and richness. Even on overcast or cloudy days the sun is still there creating a perfect environment for the classic autumn family portrait. And my goodness do I love an overcast day. Either way, no matter the time of day, we are going to create beautiful magical art pieces that will look stunning in a book, on your wall, or even framed on your desk!

(or if you want specific locations or dates, and you want a longer session with more pictures, go for a full lifestyle portrait session).

Toronto in Spring, Perfect For Family Portraits

It’s been a loooooooooong winter! It felt longer than usual! And the snow was pretty relentless. We got a sneak peek into spring last week with those warm temperatures which means, before we know it, everything will be luscious and vibrant, full of greens and pinks and purples and so much colour! Everything blossoms! Including the inspiration to write the seasonal newsletter, (so make sure you sign up because that’s going out soon)! But the energy that comes with spring as we feel our bodies recharge and reignite is refreshing. It’s truly a beautiful time to put on those flowy dresses and fun outfits then step into the gorgeous light in front of my camera!

Let’s spend a lovely late afternoon together strolling through the park capturing frame-worthy photographs of you and your loved ones! Like the photos posted here from our absolutely perfect spring session in High Park last year! Photoshoots are always a sweet adventure for the whole family. Even people who claim they hate their photos being taken always have a great time and are always so grateful at how quickly they feel at ease. You just need to show up as you and continue being you!

Oh, just looking at these again has gotten me so eager to get out there! I cannot wait to see some of you again this year and I’m really excited to meet so many new families this year too!
