Sopar Park, Cambridge Ontario - Family Photo Session

Spring has finally sprung, after a few false starts! I met up with a terrific family, including the kids and grandparents in Cambridge at beautiful and versatile "Sopar Park". It had been a little while since they had updated their family photos, and with the nice weather here we set a date. And then we rescheduled, thanks to Mother Nature. And then I believe we rescheduled again, thanks to Mother Nature. lol

At long last, here we were. I got out of the car and was faced with nothing but smiles and some very smartly dressed people.

One of the things I love best when I meet new friends, is hitting it off, easy camaraderie and someone in the group who isn't afraid of cracking a few jokes and getting everyone laughing!

I soon discovered that the Matriarch and Patriarch of the family would soon be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! What a momentous and inspiring occasion!

Before all too long, we were headed back to our cars, commenting on how easy it had been, and of course hearing the comment, "that was actually pretty fun!" Ahhh - sweet music to my ears.

I couldn't be happier with this family session, and here, are a few highlights of our time together!

Christmas Studio sessions at Herakovic Photography!

Last weekend, at Herakovic Photography's new studio, we opened a mega can of Christmas here, did we ever have a blast! We photographed about 20 families, who came, smiled, laughed and threw snow around with reckless abandon!

We now have tons more space to work with in the new studio, and we definitely out it to good use! We invited families to bring cozy Christmas pjs, set up 6 Christmas trees, had a 10 gallon pail full of 'snow' and we let 'er rip! Thank goodness for shop vacs. We're certain we (and our clients!) will be finding snow around their house and in the dryer until Spring.

Here are some samplings of the fun we had with our lovely clients. Already, the wheels are turning for NEXT Christmas's portrait sessions and how we can go bigger and better!! #brainstorm!

What a Whirlwind!

It's been a long time since I've sat down and created a blog post. To say its been busy just doesn't describe what a chaotic, whirlwind of a wedding season it's been.

And throw in the excitement of renovating a new studio on top of it all! Thats right, next week at this time, I should be in Herakovic Photography's brand new 1900 sq.ft studio!

I've laughed, cried, screamed, wanted to hide away, give up, push forward, been overwhelmed, doubted myself, reassured myself.... any emotion you can think of, I've experienced it. But finally, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and its happening. The moving company is coming next Wednesday and that will be that.

Throughout all this studio ruckus, has been several fabulous weddings and other fun photoshoots. Most recently was a wedding with two modelesque individuals who are madly in love with each other. Their families and friends were all so amazing, and the love they shared, the support they offered was undeniably beautiful.

Melanie and Mackenzie's wedding day went off without a hitch, although there was a few spots of rain, it didn't stop us and definitely didn't shake the smiles off anyones face. I'm truly in love with the photos and memories we created that day. John and I chatted about it and agreed it was one of our faves.

Here are some photos to help you share in their beautiful day.
