Their family photos taken at the farm were so much fun to photograph. I always have a wonderful time with this lovely family! They are fun loving and great to chat and play with during sessions.

I have been photographing this family for many years now. I am lucky to have watched all their boys grow up in front of my camera from the time they were just newborn babies. For their annual family photo session this year we met up at the farm. I haven’t used this particular barn as a backdrop for sessions in years. I love it so much though that I will be back again next year for sure!

The barn is perfect for families who would love a variety of architectural features in the backdrop of their photos. It’s also a great neutral backdrop that works with pretty much any clothing colour. The farm is perfect for family photos, maternity photos, and so many other types of sessions. It’s such a versatile location and families always enjoy checking out the nearby sights once their session is finished. We’re lucky in Ottawa to have a taste of rural life in so many of our urban spaces.

Once we arrived at the farm the barn stairs very quickly drew the boys to them. They’re fun to climb and stand on for photos and made a great family photo location at the farm. I didn’t think the children would turn down the chance to climb the stairs but was thrilled they liked the idea of posing on them for photos with mom and dad.

Once leaving the steps we turned the gorgeous barn doors into a family photo backdrop at the farm. The rustic but neutral barn doors were also ideal for some closeups of these handsome and smiley boys.

Just before finishing up we headed to the nearby gardens for a couple of last family photos. This was such a great session and I can’t wait to see where we will meet up again next time!
