Holiday Mini Sessions 2020 - November 21st and 22nd 2020

Hi Everyone,

Wow! Can you believe it’s that time of year to start thinking about holiday decor and shopping? Or even update your family portrait to put on the walls and send out to grandparents. Make THIS the year you send out those holiday cards! That’s more of a reminder for me than you lol I’m completely guilty over here raising a young busy family - who’s with me? ;)

The garage space has been great for the summer and fall sessions I’ve been having but I’m super thrilled to find a home for the winter at The Hive Local right in the heart of Whitby. An easy 20min drive from Rouge Valley. Won’t you come join me on November 21st + 22nd for a warm and cozy 20min session in front of my lens?

What’s awesome about these sessions is that even through there isn’t any holiday decor, you can bring your own such as dressing up in holiday jammies, wearing santa hats or keep it season-less and wear what’s on my suggested list in my confirmation email.

Here are the details:

-20 min session (only 2 families per hour to ensure sanitizing in between and a separate waiting area)

-all bw + colour images (15+)

-delivered 1 week after your session via download link/gallery

$250 +hst

Please call me at 4167165500 or email me at [email protected] to book your time slot today.

Happy Holidays,

Kristina

Family Summer Time - Frenchman's Bay, Pickering

I always love capturing my boys and have been wanting to create a Super 8mm film for the longest time. Being apart of The Filming Life Academy for the past 2.5 years continues to inspire me in this medium. This was the perfect opportunity to explore these editing techniques in Premiere Pro using a digital camera. I’ve also been exploring the Tribe Archipelago 1888ad preset and applying it to a few of my films. I truly enjoyed experimenting that early evening because it’s the best way that we grow as artists. I went from using using aperture f2 all the way to f8 + These images turned out much darker and moodier than I normally post process but working with hard light at about 6pm in the summer time - I didn’t want to blow out the highlights. Looking at these images and film, I’ll always be reminded of their splashing feet, their obsession with filling buckets up with water, their innate curiosity to find the biggest rocks and how much they love spending time with us. It’s pretty amazing to see their reactions when I cast this onto the big screen and they watch themselves. I want them to always be reminded of these times that we took when we stepped back from our busy daily lives and just enjoyed free time as a family.
