This little guy stole my heart.

It was tough to narrow down, but here are a few of my favourites from the mini-sessions held two weeks ago.
I will be holding mini-sessions again in the spring so please email me at kimberlywalkerphoto@gmail.com if you are interested in receiving details when the session dates are announced.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. Despite the chilly weather and rain, my girls were troopers and enjoyed both giving out candy at our door and traveling around the neighbourhood to fill their bags. Today's post features a session from back in September. Elizabeth is an artist who I met at a local mom's group (MumNet for anyone who is interested!). I've really enjoyed her friendship the past few years, as well as photographing her family.
Check out Elizabeth D'Agostino's blog here. She has an upcoming exhibition which opens this Saturday November 8 at Loop Gallery.
I love returning to families who I have already worked with – as they welcome their newest additions, reach a milestone, or document life together as a family. I love to capture their joy. I photographed this family when they had their first baby girl and it was wonderful to see them again as they welcomed a second baby girl into their family.
Madness in an amazing, lots of running, lots of cuddling, lots of laughing, and lots of leaves throwing sort-of-way. I am so appreciative of all of the families who came out this weekend and spent a little time in front of my camera.
There's nothing I enjoy more than meeting a new family – especially when they're willing to sacrifice bedtime for a sunset.
I spent a sunny afternoon with these three and their parents back in late August. It's hard to believe how quickly the last few weeks have gone by and how the weather and days are changing. Looking at these definitely makes me long for summer again. We started at one of my favourite parks and then headed for a walk through the Junction, finishing up with popsicles. It was the perfect end-of-summer session.
I've been pleasantly surprised by the number of inquires lately from those looking to capture their "extended" family. So often the only portraits we have with our parents or siblings are from our weddings, or significant events like the birth of a baby, and I don't know about you, but I was not looking too hot on the days either of my kids were born. Alternatively, we have selflies we've taken on our smart phones, which may get posted to Instagram or Facebook, but unless you are blessed with selfie-taking talent that results in photos that do not leave you with a double-chin or a view up your nose, chances are you are not printing and hanging these on the wall. So it's pretty awesome that more and more families are finding the time in their busy schedules to gather together for a morning or afternoon, and are having me tag along to capture their time with one another.
This family only had once chance at getting some family photos over the long weekend as they are separated by distances and it's rare they can all be together at the same time. Rain or shine (and it did pour rain), we had to make this happen. I joined them after their breakfast (homemade scones and a pot of tea were still on the table) and we spent our time in the backyard garden, briefly inside the house, and then a walk at a nearby park.
