Courtney + Andrew + Logan found the very best day of the week to venture out to a favorite location of Logan’s for exploring, playing, walking, and enjoying the peacefulness of nature. Needless to say, following a three-year-old through the woods and around streams is definitely a workout, but it was incredibly fun and so worth it. It was an incredible privilege to capture meaningful photos for this happy family.

I had the wonderful pleasure of working with such an awesome family just a few days before Christmas last year. I love being able to surprise people with photographs that make them look AWESOME. I’m pretty sure more than a few individuals didn’t think they were very photogenic, of which I always reply “everyone is [...]

Our little peanut is supposed to come by the end of the week, and we are soooooo ready! :o) I wish I could count down the days until I finally get to hold our baby in my arms, but then it doesn’t want to tell me when the big day will be here, haha … so mama is waiiting and waiiiiting :o)

My email auto responder is already turned on, and I’m sorry in advance for any delayed emails from my end …. I’m probably cleaning the house and doing laundry …. haha.

I’ll keep you guys posted about our new arrival, and I’m sure there will be an overload of newborn photos once it makes it big entrance ;o)

Until then …. I hope everybody is doing well :o)

Winter Family Portraits Muskoka – Bala, ON

Happy 2012 everyone!

Its been a great holiday season, and we are happy to be back at work.

Just after Christmas Alyssa called us to come visit their cottage in Muskoka and take some family portraits to decorate the walls. She chose the snowiest day of the year (I know its not her fault) and the trek to their cottage was on all dirt road which were covered in snow, making it impossible to for our little car to get over, what felt like 50 hills to get t their beautiful property. I want to say “Couldn’t you guys choose an easier place to build your fantastic cottage?” and to that, Alyssa’s dad will most likely reply that we need to get better tires haha! (Her parents own Action Tire in Barrie). He would be right, our tires are horrible, and we proved that in a blizzard getting first stuck in their driveway, then trying to get up a hill on the way out of their street. Luckily that was after we were able to spend a great afternoon photographing their whole family.

So here they are, in the snow, The Labrecque Family.

Thank you for choosing us to photograph your family, it was an adventure!

Cheers

Erika & Ryan

When Nicole + Matt asked us to come out and photograph their family along with their beautiful baby girl, we couldn’t wait to meet her! It was also a great opportunity to see Nicole’s parents again and get photographs of some of their favorite things — their beautiful children, Jaye’s amazing home decor skills, Mike’s classic cars, and of course their gorgeous granddaughter, Ella. In her own words, Nicole penned the warmest note describing her thoughts about our history with this amazing family and what these photos have meant for the entire family:

At every family function, my mother’s homemade photo albums always end up being taken out at the end of the night. My two sisters, mom and I are usually cuddled up on the couch laughing and talking about something funny from a family holiday or reminiscing about our beloved dog Bernie Burns. Our family pictures are such a huge part of what makes us, us. My mother has instilled in each of us the love of our family albums and the time we spend together sharing our memories while looking through them.

That being said, meeting Jenni and Ulysses has been magical for us. They photographed my wedding to my husband Matt in 2008 at Perona Farms, and when we met in person for the first time for our engagement shoot they greeted us with big hugs and made us feel so comfortable that they quickly became part of the family. At the end of our wedding, I remember actually feeling sad when they left, like saying goodbye to old friends.

Jenni and Ulysses take amazing photos without intruding on your special event. Every year on our anniversary and even throughout the year, we receive friendly e-mails checking in to see how we are doing. They are very wonderful people that are not only amazing at their job but at making you feel special, as well. It was so much fun getting to do a family shoot with them and having my daughter Ella get to meet them.

More with Nicole + Matt.

Madi’s Family – Barrie, Ontario

Winter really is a magical time in Canada. Even though it is freezing cold it is one of our favourite times of the year to shoot. It makes for some stunning photos. Earlier this week we photographed Kaitlin, Madi & Anita on the street where Kaitlin grew up in an area of Barrie we like to call Painswick. 3 generations of gorgeous women for their family portraits. We’ve known Madi & Kaitlin for years, you might have even seen them on our blog before. This is going to be our last family post before the new year. In 2011 we photographed 42 families in Muskoka, Barrie & Toronto. We would like to thank all the families who chose us to capture image for them this year. Family photos mean so much to us and we feel that every family should have the opportunity to relive this time in their lives through the art and the magic of photographs.

So if you are part of a family (which I know you all are) and you need to update a portrait of your clan, give a gift to a family member or just love photos as much as we do, contact us to book your winter family photos with us. be sure to join our rss feed for this blog, join our Facebook fan page and twitter to stay updated on all the happenings and travel dates at Rowell Photography in 2012.

Thanks again to these three beauties for a great shoot !

Happy New Year everyone!

Erika & Ryan

So in this series I asked Madi to give me her best pose. The last one is my have. She is so creative, like a little piece of art.

How beautiful is this background? this is just a regular neighbourhood in Barrie, Ontario. It looks like a postcard or a painting.

Kewaquado Family – Barrie, ON

This is what its all about, families laughing and having a great time being photographed. The Kewaquado family came to visit us last week for some family portraits in studio, downtown Barrie, just in time for the holidays. We would be lying if we said we didn’t have a super fun shoot with the whole family. These kids are hilarious. I asked the youngest kids to make each other smile, and if you scroll down to the 8th & 9th photos you will see how they creatively took my advice.

Thank you to the Kewaquado family for choosing us to capture your family portraits. We hope to see you all back again really soon.

Have a Happy new Year!

Nicole + Mike + Kids Family Portraits!!!

Nicole + Mike have always been two of our biggest fans. And now we’re two of the biggest fans of their trio of gorgeous children! When you have a set of two-year-old twins along with an infant for an autumn beach outing, you know you’re in for a real treat! These photos have great importance to Nicole + Mike, and in their own words, here’s why:

Once our third child was born, Mike and I knew that we wanted to capture this very special time in our lives when all three of our children were still babies. We wanted to be sure that the portraits would capture the true feeling of our family and each of individual children’s little personalities. We knew from our wedding photos that Ulysses and Jenni would be a perfect match! We needed a studio that would be as concerned about the comfort of our children and the success of the session as we were. We also knew that we wanted art, not cute photos. We wanted this time in our family to be a permanent memory on our walls so that as our children grow we can always remember where we began. When we received the photos we were thrilled! They went directly from the box to the walls, where they will stay for years to come, just as planned!

We loved seeing this amazing twosome (now a fivesome… or a cinquesome?) again.

More with Nicole + Mike.
