Photos at Steckle Heritage Farm in Kitchener

Steckle Heritage Farm is a special place - I can't say enough good about the place. They're an amazing education center, veggie grower and wedding/event venue. Ash worked there a few years back and arranged for us to stop by for some photos. Here's a few favourites :)

Picture
Sebastian thoroughly enjoyed being outside at the farm...

Picture
Seb's little bro, Grant...

In the orchard at Steckle, a wonderful place to be in September :)

Throughout the course of our walk around the farm, I would come to discover that Seb really, really, really likes apples. He's much happier with an apple than without an apple.

Downtown Family Photos in Civic Centre Park

Picture
Beth asked me to join her family for a little walk in the park, near their home in Downtown Kitchener. She wanted to capture a few moments before their family of three becomes one of four (baby brother is on the way shortly!)

It was a hot summer evening and the sinking sun made for some beautiful washy photos...

A Morning with Liam & Norah (+bikes, bubbles and strawberries) | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

These photos were a surprise for Father's Day...

Ben and Becky didn't have up-to-date photos of their two kids, so Becky invited me out to their home in Ayr for photos one morning while Ben was at work. The idea was to give him some new photos of the kids for home and office...
This is Norah, right about a year old now
Picture
And Liam, just turned 4
Picture
We started off with bubbles...
Picture
Picture
then bikes...
Picture
and then strawberries... ah yah
Picture
Picture
Picture
everyone got their fair share...
Picture
and then we finished off with a homemade chocolate chip cookie (or two)

Family Photos by a Rusty Old Truck | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

Bethany asked me to come out to the country...

... her uncle has a property that has beautiful gardens (which were impressively in bloom for the time of year!). Near the back of the gardens is this old rust-bucket of a truck, something that's been in the family for a very long time. It made for a special spot for a family photo.

A Walk Through Victoria Park with the Boylan Family

Picture
Mike & Jennie and their twin boys Milo and Finn (who are just past a year old now) decided to go play in Victoria Park. I tagged along for some photos...
Picture
Picture
Milo is just getting into walking on his own... he did some walking, but also seemed to enjoy the clapping and smiling and cheering part (maybe even more than the walking)
Picture
Picture
Picture
psssst... Finn! I've got a secret to tell you!

Photos with Baby Davis + The Weatherby Family

This was my second visit to the Weatherby home and like my last visit, their home was warm and happy. This one came just over a week after baby Davis arrived. Here he is, on a blanket that was Jenn's when she was a baby...

The Kleinhuis Family is moving. Soon they'll be off to new stomping grounds, away from their long-time home in Hamilton. Before they left they thought it'd be great to get some photos done.
Picture
We went to Sam Lawrence Park - a beautiful park with a view of the city

We sat, we climbed. We explored and found this amazing tree.

Sunny Morning Family Photos with the Brennermans

Picture
My time with the Brennerman family happened on a perfect spring morning. The day would turn hot and humid, but midmorning it was perfect... perfect enough for shortsleeves, sandboxes and babies in not many clothes at all.
Picture
The Brennermans have these awesome evergreens in the backyard that backdropped the photos so nicely... the sun was shining through in a way that felt like it could have been a weekend at the cottage
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
there was an ant on the sand castle...
Picture
Picture
Megan is a music teacher... couldn't help but get a piano photo in there
Picture
Picture
then, right at the very end of the session... we got some baby smiles :)

Jon & Aimee + (almost here) Baby

I stopped by Aimee and Jon's place in downtown Kitchener to take some belly pics - Aimee is expecting their first child and is due in just a few weeks. The sun, spring and snow made for some bright, washy photos.
Picture
Picture
They've got a great little house and a beautiful backyard, which we braved for some photos even though the spring chill was still most decidedly in the air.

Walking Through the Arboretum with Danielle & Cleve

We had plans to go ice skating at a pond tucked away in a corner of the Arboretum at University of Guelph, but the winter weather didn't cooperate... we had a huge dump of snow the day before our session and Danielle and Cleve (understandably) didn't want a whole lot of pictures of them shovelling! So we went for a winter walk through the tall trees, stopped along some of the boardwalks and finished off with some snow angels... and had a great time anyways! These are a few favourites from our session... enjoy!

Casual Photos with the Misener Family

I stopped in at the Misener family home (just outside Waterloo) a few weeks back for some casual family photos. The idea was to send them to relatives who live in Western Canada as a surprise... I loved the idea and told Katie and Mike that I'd keep everything under wraps until the appropriate time, so as not to spoil the surprise! So if you haven't seen me posting any of these yet that's why!

The Misener kids were both completely adorable in their own way - Owen with his tractors and laugh and Mer doing some of her first walking ever, punctuated with all kinds of perfect stares and giggles. Here are a few of my favourites from the session... enjoy!

Christmas Photos with Kris, Kate and Brady at Benjamin Tree Farm

I like when things are happening in pictures... it makes them memorable and fun. Sometimes the thing that's happening is as simple as two people looking at each other. Sometimes that thing is going to a tree farm and picking out your Christmas tree.

Cutting a tree for Christmas is something a lot of folks do each year and pretty much everyone who does it has a good story or two. Kate and Kris both have fond memories of cutting trees with their families when they were younger and it's something that's become a tradition in their home too. They thought some photos would make the day extra special this year.

Even though snowy days make for cold fingers for me while working the camera, I had a blast on this one. Kate and Kris and Brady had a lot of fun and I think it really comes through in the photos. We were out at Benjamin Tree Farm, just north of Waterloo. The farm had some fun decorations that we worked into the photos and they serve hot apple cider and cookies!

Here is sampling from our little morning walk at the tree farm...
