Every fall we are so lucky in the Durham Region and Whitby to have such great spots for family photography. Cullen Garden Central Park, though it has lost it’s trademark tree rows, still boasts a lovely basin area, bridge, gardens, frog pond and covered bridge.
During this fall session in 2017 we captured the experience for this family three and their beloved dog. Grateful for such a busy 2018 we are just getting to share some of last year’s greatest moments. Our fall this year has VERY limited availability so please contact us to grab one of our few remaining open spots.
A fresh take on family photos for these long time Brooklin residents (Mom and Dad grew up and met in Brooklin) was to feature their family in a few key regional landmarks in Durham region. We walked the heritage streets in Whitby to capture the experience with backdrops such as Werner’s District and found some great spots to capture photos in picturesque downtown Whitby.
Want a fresh take on your family photos? We are booked solid for July 2018 with limited space in August, September and October. For details check out our process, investment and message us through our website.
This is the fifth post in a series of blog posts highlight the past few years of creating strong, impactful images for clientele through my Corporate business and the editorial work I create for East of the City magazine. In this series I will introduce you to some amazing human beings who run their own business(es) and shape the business landscape in the Durham Region.
When I first walked into the warm ambiance of The Country Cheese Co. I was impacted by the way Tammy and her team interact with customers. There is an unmistakable warmth in her demeanour and the customer response is relaxed, people laughing and enjoying one of my favourite things in the world – cheese.
The store environment reminds me of a tasting room for cheese or wines – the light is darker and warm, the smells surround you and entice you.

If you are looking to create powerful images that make your business STAND OUT in a crowd contact us to tell your story. We create colourful, focused and professionally executed photographic images that stand the test of time.
A Professional Experience it is all about creating a simple, effective image of the client.
Before you hire ANY photographer “ask them about their experience” to ensure you hire someone who has proven experience and skills to execute a professional product. Creating head shot portraits is a very specific skill set requiring intimate knowledge of light, posing, proper focus and knowledge what does focal length do to a person’s face. Have them show you the work they have done and how they will achieve it.
The following are some the tips that will help you achieve a great image for your business portrait.
Tip #1. Keep it simple. When picking an outfit avoid patterns that can distract from the face. A professional portrait should focus on the subject – not on clothing or accessories they are wearing.
Tip #2. Hair and Makeup. Do not change your style too close to your session. Invest in professional services for a blow out and makeup as needed. When you feel your best you look your best.
Tip #3. Vary the Look. Our experiences allow clients to create a series of three looks. So bring a few looks from relaxed to corporate to get more out of your experience session with us.
Tip #4. Simple makeup. Keep makeup simple and natural. Avoid shimmer, sparkles and shine, as well as frost or bright colours. Any makeup should add to your natural beauty.
Tip #5. Accessories. Keep your accessories simple and classic. An accessory should be a compliment to your outfit not the star of the image. Remove watches and fitness trackers.
Tip #6. A good night’s sleep. We all look our best if we have had a good rest the night before. Schedule your session when this is possible for the best results.
Regrettably over 50% of the work we do in this area is a redoing of a bad experience with another photographer. Get the image you wanted the first time and book your experience with us.
As a family photographer in Whitby, in the Durham region east of the Greater Toronto area we have many family friendly spots to capture the experience. We specialize in creating modern family photography throughout the Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area.
During our family photo session we explored the whole of the Spring Trail with the young men of this family. We turned over leaves, found acorns, logs, and other magical bits of nature. It is nice to slow down and see things through the eyes of a child. There is so much to learn, see and explore.
For a peek into their session visit our video of their family experience:
Capture the experience this winter in studio or in the snow! For more information send us an email via our Connect page.
