Family Photos + Bison

 A day of fall family photos, plus a visit to see the magnificent beast that is the bison?  Umm yes please!  Add in a potential* family photo IN FRONT OF the bison field if the stars align?  Double yes!

This year, on October 7th, I’m joining Northwind Bison at their Farm Open House to offer Fall Family Mini Sessions right there behind the Bison pen.  Come for photos, tour the farm, meet the Farmers, browse some artwork, watch the Bison, try some delicious meat samples, and take home some meat.  This will be such a fun opportunity to try something new.

the details

Date: October 7th, from 10am-3pm

Address: 8591 Concession 8 Road, Mapleton, Ontario N0G 2K0

family photos

I’ll be there offering fall family photos at the back of the farm throughout the entire open house.  Booking will open up Friday, September 8th, at 8:00pm.  Each session will be 15 minutes long, which if you’ve had a session with me before, you know is loads of time!  Packages start at $250, and go up to $400.  My style is more candid, with story-telling photos, as opposed to ‘everyone smiling at the-camera’ poses. Not to worry though, I do typically try to do at least once for Grandparents and Christmas Cards!  

Photos will be taken at the bush, with hopefully lots of fall colours, wild flowers, and warm tones.  Be ready to walk through some weeds and grasses and perfectly wild areas to bring depth and dimension to the photos.  Below you’ll see one example of the scenery with my doggo, because he was the only one willing to come with me to scope out the area…my kids were too busy playing at the cottage!

*photos by the bison pen, with bison in the likely distant background, will only happen if the starts align between the weather and the herd’s mood.  They don’t always love me, so this is not a guaranteed photo*

the bison

Bison are incredible creatures.  Usually calm, majestic creatures that I could sit and watch for hours.  They don’t particularly love me, and act like my kids when I pull out my camera; they run to the opposite side of the field!  But they’re so amazing to watch that I don’t hold that against them.  

bison meat

Bison meat is an excellent source of minerals and vitamins such as iron, B12, zinc, and selenium, while being low in calories, fat, and cholesterol.  Bison is similar to beef in cuts, but is leaner and lighter in taste, and more nutrient dense in every serving. – Northwind Bison

I’ll just…leave these here. Because I have spent half the day trying to come up with the perfect sentiment to go with these photos, and I just don’t think one exists.
It's been 84 years since I last posted anything on Social Media...

Just kidding, it's only been forever.  Some of you may know that I accidentally fell into the world of Sports Photography last year.  Since then, I've been busy photographing all the sports, and I've had no time for my usual Newborns and Families.  And my gosh have I MISSED this!

Thank you to one of the best families I know for coming along for a short notice session. ❤
Name in Lights Mini sessions scheduled for tomorrow, March 15th are being rescheduled due to a slight camera hand injury.  For those who have already booked, you’ll receive an email over the  get couple of days with my full calendar to choose a new date and time.  I apologize so much for any inconvenience this will cause!
Happy first birthday to this little blueberry! 🫐
Name in Lights Minis are back for one day only!  Friday, March 15.  See the link in bio to secure your spot.
I have SO many photos to share from the past year.  But let's start with the most recent, and maybe most important, because I'm going to be opening up a day of Name in Lights Minis over March break, and I want to know which day(s) you want!  Leave your pick in the comments.  Any sport, any age.
GIVEAWAY!
For anyone who knows me outside of the Studio, you likely know that hockey has always been a massive part of my life.  When I was a young girl, playing girls hockey like my daughter is now, I had an amazing coach who helped me become who I am today, in more ways than one.  I remember having the opportunity to go watch the Canadian Women's Olympic team play, skate with some of the players, and see that hockey isn't just a boy's sport.  Seeing the huge strides that Women's hockey is taking these days and seeing my daughter experience and love the game makes my heart so happy!  And now I have the opportunity to take my daughter to watch today's Female Greats, just like I did.  And yours!

I'm so excited to be able to give away a set of FOUR tickets to the December 16th Canada vs. USA Women's Rivalry Series game, plus one Name in Lights Mini Session with me!

This Giveaway is open to Local female hockey players and their families only.
