A Modern, Black and White Stratford Family Session

When a well-known designer in town reached out to me last year about doing her family photos and had an out of the box idea for how she wanted them to look, I was totally up for the challenge.

Most people like to stick to what they know. And I do. I really do. Golden hour fields are my thing. But every once in a while I LOVE a good challenge.

This family didn’t want the cookie cutter family photos and wanted something more editorial, modern and dare I say “urban” (a term SO overused in the photography world!)

We found this white stone wall and knew it was the perfect backdrop. White and Black, Black and White. Perfection.

I’m pretty proud of how these turned out!

A Tom Patterson Theatre Family Session

When I tell you I GASPED when they revealed the plans for the new Tom Patterson Theatre in Stratford, I GASPED.

The gold, the stone, the glass, the landscaping, the modern lines and classic curves - it truly is one of the most stunning pieces of architecture I’ve ever seen!

Having photographed weddings in and around this building, I had the idea when a good friend and fellow photographer reached out asking for family photos to take them here during golden hour and finish off with my typical nature scenes.

I was soooo excited with how different and unique these photos turned out!
