THE CARGILLS
One of the best parts of returning customers is seeing how much the family has grown since the last photoshoot. Another great benefit is that everyone finds their comfort zone infront of the camera, which makes for nice and natural looking pictures.
"Jeff is so great with kids. He made our son feel so comfortable and at ease. He creates unique shots and has such a wonderful eye. The photos are wonderful!" -Dana

THE TOWNSONS
I love it people book a photo session with me from a recommendation of their own friends and family. It makes for an easy connection, and often times I can see the connection between the clients.
THE HEATONS
I had the opportunity to photograph the Heaton family, one of the Heaton girls is a former student, the other a current student! It is so neat to see student personalities outside of school. What a great family!

"We enjoyed Jeff's enthusiasm and that the kids fed off that. I was so surprised how well our grandson -Beau , worked with him during the photo shoot. It was truly a relaxing experience working with Jeff. Thank you for the amazing pictures of my family." -Wendy

THE DRIJBERS
A wonderful multigenerational family photo shoot. I had a great time capturing some memories for the Drijbers. What I enjoyed most about this shoot was spending some time with the kiddos once the "BIG" shoot had finished. They started showing their true personalities and relationships. Such fun!
"Jeff made us feel comfortable and made the photoshoot fun. He got genuine smiles out of everyone, which translated into awesome pictures! We are thrilled with his work!" -Deb

THE HEFFRONS
This was a real let loose, have some fun and have a good time photo shoot. I truly felt like the Heffrons showed me the "real" them and they are one amazing family!
"It was such an awesome experience working with Jeff. Being the mom of all boys and teenagers on top of that, you never know what you're going to get from them, but Jeff made them laugh and brought out their personalities perfectly!!" -Lani

"Jeff was professional and fun! He had my teenage sons warmed and comfortable within the first few minutes of the session. Great sense of humour, kind and creative!" -Diana

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES!
This photoshoot might go down as one of my all time favourite shoots! Michelle researched what she want, planned out her outfit, knew what props she wanted, was willing to take risks, was open to ideas, and smiled from ear to ear! The pictures speak for themselves, a great time was had during this shoot!
THE AGUECIS
Such A Wonderful Family!
When I find myself drawn to certain pictures, I often direct the picture to see what about it is grabbing my attention, the focal point, lighting, fashion, overall composition etc. One of the most common things I find with group shots that I am drawn to, is how close everyone is to one another. The Aguecis naturally had this closeness and it made for wonderful family photos!

THE LOAYZAS
A Family Full of Love
It did not take long for the love in this family to come out. Wether it was the kids looking at the parents, the parents looking at their kids, or each other, you could see the love that they all share and it was beautiful!

THE DORSETTS
Family Fun
I have been lucky enough to do the Dorsetts' family photos a couple of times now. What I love about them is how much fun they have during their shoots. You can even ask them to sit in a tub in a field and without hesitation, they jump in :)

THE HEFFRONS
The Kids Stole The Show!
These two adorable kiddos were quick to warm up to the camera and then their giggles kept everyone smiling for the rest of the shoot! What an absolutely fun experience I had with this amazing family!

THE McCLURES
Dad For The Win!
It didn't seem to matter what I did, I couldn't crack this little guys blue steel. However, Eric made him smile by tickling his nose with a piece of long grass right before the shots!

THE BONDS
Sibling Dynamics!
While taking pictures is the main focus of photography, obviously, I enjoy seeing how families tic and get along. The playful banter that took place between the Bond siblings made me laugh, as it reminded me of my siblings. In a family of three, there always seems to be a power pair and then a loan wolf. One thing that was evident, and that was how much love they all had for each other.

THE KAIJAS
"I think I am smiling too big!"
This was a quote from one of the Kaijas during the shoot, which is a great reflection of just how much fun this session was! I have had the pleasure of knowing this family for many years now, and they are simply wonderful!

MADDIE - THE GRADUATE
A bright smile to go along with a bright future
I can't even believe it's been three years since I first photographed Maddie and her family. Three years in the blink of an eye and she is graduating from high school and going off to University! Covid-19 grad cancellations couldn't keep the Bower's from celebrating the awesome high school career that Maddie had. Congratulations Maddie!!

THE ALLISONS
A brand spanking new baby boy!
The newest member of the Allison family was not too impressed with me taking photos of him. Boy was he sure surrounded in love by his parents who are going to be THE MOST AMAZING parents that he could ever hope for!

THE DIX FAMILY
A beautiful couple in their beautiful home waiting for their beautiful boy to arrive
It's not every day that you get to do an indoor photoshoot completely with natural light. The Dix family home allowed me to do just that. This was such a fun shoot with great friends!

THE BRANCH FLOWERS
A fun family shoot at the Guelph Arboretum
One of the greatest challenges of family photography is getting everyone to smile. I had a fun time making myself sound foolish in order to chase a grin from one of these darling children. On the other hand one of the greatest parts of taking photographs is when someone naturally connects with the camera, this family had it all.

A PHOTOSHOOT INSPIRED BY A DOG
Jenn and her best friends
That's right, it was the dog who inspired this shoot. Jenn wanted to get some photos of her trusted companion Syd, while he was still living his best life!

THE GARDINERS
A fun family photoshoot in the snow
Troopers, that is what the Gardiner's are, absolute troopers! While the snow made for a beautiful backdrop, it was COLD during this shoot, and they still found a way to make this shoot look warm and cozy!

THE DORSETTS
Family fun at a tree farm!
The Dorsetts came prepared for a fantastic photoshoot! Fantastic outfits, banners and matching hats to boot. Paying attention to details like these really help to enhance your family photos. While there wasn't the snow on the ground we were hoping for, the fog made for a very interesting background!

Lots of smiles and laughs were had while playing in the crisp fall air during this shoot! Check out the stop motion movie on my instagram account that we made during this shoot.

THE BARTER & HOLMES FAMILIES
So much fun
The kids stole the show in this shoot! How good did they look in their matching outfits too? Their parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles looked pretty good too.

THE MARCHANTS
Fun on a covered bridge
These absolutely adorable kids had a blast exploring the bridge while having some family photos done. They were all so good that they all got ice cream at the end of the shoot!

THE BOWERS
Another beautiful backyard family photo session
This family photo session was a lot of fun, I especially loved working with Maddie! This photo of her eye is one of my all time favourite photos. The lighting in the shot was created with a flash in front of her, while the setting sun provided her with the golden lighting from behind.

THE KARAGANS
Fun times playing with my new lighting system
I absolutely love the Karagan family! I first met Julia when I was a teacher volunteer in her grade 5 class. I knew from the moment I met her that she was an incredible human being. Years later, my wife and I coached Katherine on our club volleyball team. That experience brought us closer with their amazing parents! Most recently, Julia was one of my outstanding leaders at Huddle Up Athletic Leadership Camp. I just can't seem to get enough of this family. They were kind enough to come over and sit for me while I played around with my new lighting set up.

THE WHITINGS
A photoshoot that guided itself
This was one of my earliest photoshoots and it was a very good lesson in just how fast you have to be when taking pictures of young kids. Josh barely stayed in one place long enough for a picture, let alone trying to get him to sit still. Regardless, this still goes down for one of my absolute favourite photoshoots as it was so free and fun (as you can see in the fountain fun)!

THE MILNES
The Distillery District
This family photoshoot is one that helped to give me confidence in what I was doing. I had spend years learning and playing around with a camera, constantly taking pictures of my friends and family. I quickly learned that it felt completely different taking on the role of a photographer, instead of just someone taking pictures. The first picture in the gallery is one of my all time favourites. While he initially did not want to have his picture taken, I thought he looked pretty tough, mean mugging, sitting on top of an old rusty truck.
