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 think I'm in labour " my long-time friend Stef texted to me. By long-time, I'm talking about 20 years. We met in ballet class when I was 10. I texted something back along the lines of "I'll check in with you in a few hours but lets plan to go ahead". I wasn't going to let a few contractions get in the way of her photo session. Stef and Ryan welcomed their baby boy into the world about 40 hours later.
With so much on their plate, including both a house renovation and Stef's labour pains, it was a wonder that they were able to pull it together and have me over to capture this time for them. I am so glad they did, and I hope they are too. It's the real-life stuff that I love to document, the not-so-perfect times that stick in our memories.
And here's a sneak peek of their new little man.
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. 
As we head into the long weekend and prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I thought I'd share this extended family session from a few weeks back. It is always an honour to take photographs for another photographer so I was both humbled and excited when Jessica asked me if I could capture an afternoon with her parents and sisters (and all of the spouses and offspring). We started and ended the session in Jess's kitchen, which I loved because the kitchen is so often the heart of a family's home.
Thank you Jess for inviting me into your home and introducing me to your wonderful family. 
I took the girls to one of my favourite shooting spots last week to enjoy what was probably one of the last warm days of the year.
We lucked out last weekend with beautiful, warm weather for the first round of fall mini-sessions. The next round is on Saturday Oct 18 and there are only two spots left. Click here for details. Here is a snippet of one of the families – yep, all this in just 20 minutes!
There's nothing I enjoy more than meeting a new family – especially when they're willing to sacrifice bedtime for a sunset.
