Last week the kids and I traveled to Barrie, Ontario to meet up with our family photographer Tim Smith from Shutterhead Photography. For the past couple weeks we had been on standby waiting to hear from Tim, in hopes that we could arrange a photoshoot while the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. It seems this year they were a little late arriving, but when I finally got the call I knew it was only a matter of days before they would be gone so we immediately scheduled a time and meeting place. Unfortunately on the day of the shoot, they were calling for rain all day and we nearly had to cancel. However, at the last minute I decided to make the long trek north to Barrie - rain or shine...and thankfully just as we arrived the clouds began to clear and it turned out to be a beautiful evening (much like the evening back in April when we went to visit the cherry blossoms in Toronto).
For the photoshoot my original plan was to do some maternity photos with only my daughter because my hubby declared months ago he was never doing maternity photos again! He'd been there, done that 3 times already and I wasn't about to put up a fight. Considering we're having another little girl, I thought it would be fun and fitting to take some pictures of just "the girls". That plan didn't quite work out because we ended up doing the photoshoot midweek and I had no one to help take care of our two boys. Plan B...I bought the boys some colourful tops and decided it would be nice to have some photos taken of all of us. With Father's Day just around the corner my hubby can look forward to getting a few updated photos of his 3 adorable kiddies and his pregnant wife -ha!
We actually had such a great evening together. One of the best decisions I made was bringing along our friend and neighbour to help take care of the kids during the shoot. She was so wonderful with all 3 of them and it gave me the opportunity to do several photos on my own. Once again I was beyond happy with the final results - Tim never fails to amaze me with his talent and skills. He always manages to capture such beautiful images. Here are some of my favourites from the shoot...
Tim's website: http://www.shutterhead.ca/
Location of the shoot: Sunnydale Park, Barrie, Ontario
Props: all props purchased from Dollarama (even the lollipops)
Clothing: Boys clothing from http://www.carters.com/, Georgia's white dress from https://www.zulily.com/ and her floral dress from https://www.zara.com/ca/ Both my dresses also from Zara (they were purchased last summer however they have similar styles this season)
Flower Crowns: I handmade the 3 crowns used in the shoot and purchased all of the materials from Dollarama - the entire cost was about $30 (I priced out buying them on etsy but I was shocked by how much they can cost - anywhere from $40 to over $300!)
Enjoy your Sunday evening!
