There is still plenty of summer left for a family portrait in the backyard. When photographing in the city  it’s sometimes hard to avoid the neighbours. But don’t worry I have a few tricks for that scenario!  Keeping the neighbours out  was not the case for this  portrait.  This backyard seemed to go on forever. It’s hard to believe it’s right in the middle of Winnipeg.

I brought stools for the session, however I loved the families adirondack chairs. It keeps the portrait personal, and they match the casual outfits the family chose to wear. This portrait  will be hanging  over the piano.

I had to try a couple of locations in this beautiful yard and this large tree was perfect for a casual portrait.  The client chose this image for the Christmas Card… Yup you read that right.  This is one organized lady!
