Outdoor Family Session

With Toronto’s beautiful seasonal weather, the city is full of perfect spots for family portraits. Imagine capturing heartfelt moments in the natural beauty of High Park, with its open fields and vibrant colors, or along the Toronto Islands, where the skyline and beaches create a stunning backdrop. We could explore the sandy shores of Woodbine Beach for a relaxed, playful vibe or St. Lawrence Market for a lively, urban feel. Polson Pier also offers that classic Toronto skyline view for a cityscape touch.

Whether your family loves spending time on the beach, exploring scenic trails, or enjoying weekend strolls together, let’s plan a session that reflects your family’s unique personality and favorite pastimes. Bring your walking shoes, beach towels, and the kids, and let’s capture memories that will last a lifetime.

Packages can range between 45-90 minutes.

FAQs

  • Each season offers its own unique beauty, but many families love the vibrant colors of fall or the lush greenery of spring and summer. Winter sessions can be magical as well, especially if you enjoy a cozy, holiday-themed shoot. The best time depends on your family’s preference for the setting and weather.

  • Coordinating outfits is key—think of colours that complement each other without being overly matched. Soft neutrals, muted tones, and solid colours generally photograph well, while subtle patterns can add interest. Choose outfits that reflect your family’s style and are comfortable for everyone.

  • Absolutely! We’re happy to work at a location that holds special meaning to your family or suggest beautiful spots like parks, beaches, or urban settings. Our goal is to create portraits that capture the essence of your family in a setting you love.

  • Family sessions usually last about 1-2 hours. This gives us enough time for a variety of poses, settings, and capturing natural, candid moments without anyone feeling rushed.

  • We understand that kids have their own schedules and moods! We keep the session lighthearted and fun to keep them engaged. With patience, playfulness, and breaks as needed, we capture genuine moments, even with the wiggliest little ones.

  • You can expect a curated gallery of edited images, typically around 50-60 photos, depending on your package. Each image is carefully selected to showcase the best moments from your session.

  • We focus on capturing the natural connections between family members but can incorporate small props if you’d like. Feel free to bring any meaningful items that reflect your family’s personality, such as a favorite blanket, toys for the kids, or seasonal decor.

  • Absolutely! Pets are part of the family, and we’re delighted to include them in your session. Just let us know ahead of time, so we can plan for a pet-friendly location and bring any special treats or toys to help them relax and enjoy the experience.
