Family and kids photographer in Toronto

Pricing is shared on request because it depends on the number of people, the length of the session, locations and editing. How many finished images you need and how you will use them also matter. Our guide to family photo session prices shows what to compare, and it helps to ask any photographer what is included before you book.

Pick two or three colours that go well together, without everyone matching exactly. In Toronto, layers suit the seasons, so nobody is too cold or too hot. Avoid large logos and busy patterns that pull the eye away from faces, and put comfort first so children can move.

Natural family photography is about connection, emotions and moments to keep. A good rule is to plan the session around your child's usual routine, bring something familiar and let children look around and warm up before any posing. Talk through comfort and timing with your photographer beforehand.

Tell them in plain words what will happen: who is coming, where you are going and that they can be themselves. Let older children choose one item of their outfit. Keep the mood relaxed, and try not to promise rewards for behaving.

Pick a place your family already enjoys, such as a park, the waterfront or a street you know, and check the location's photography rules before the day. Our place and season ideas are further down this page.
