Well, 2025 came and went pretty quick. I was so happy to hold my annual fall mini sessions (I think this was the 14th year!) And we had great weather, with no rescheduling. (Every photographer’s dream.) But mostly, this year was full of personal ventures. My hubby and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this summer and took a road trip out to the East Coast to mark the occasion. I can’t believe our little slime green car made it all the way to the Atlantic – and only complained a little. Once we got back home, we turned around and rented a Cottage near Algonquin Park for a little family time. We had a few hikes that we wanted to do in the park. Plus, the kids just love time outside to fish, read, and be away from their computers. Just a few photos my camera took to share with you today.

Wishing you all a VERY happy New Year!! All the best in 2026. Let’s keep in touch!

One of the BEST things about photographing one of my VIP families is that we can laugh about past times we’ve gotten together. Like the time the kids were really little and the older brother decided on a “zombie pose”. Well, lil’ sis just copied EVERYTHING her brother did. I’m not sure that it was the look mom and dad had in mind – but it was pretty funny!! These guys are honestly the sweetest family you will ever meet. I always enjoy our 25 minutes we spend together (almost) every year.

Never too late to schedule your very own family session. On a nice day, I can easily be convinced to take my camera out when there is snow on the ground!

In looking back at the photos taken in 2022 – I realize that I didn’t actually meet up with many families! But I did see a lot of my VIP’s and even met a new clan! My crew was very busy with renovations and our garden this year and we took some much needed time at a cottage in Quebec over the summer. I guess that is where the time went! A few favourites to share with you guys:

Well that’s it for 2022!! Wishing you all a very happy, healthy NEW YEAR! And remember – you don’t have to wait until the fall to book a portrait session. My camera works year round!! info@k-photo.ca

Since we are still in the “celebration period”, I feel it is okay to post this a few days after the big day. This season I was thrown a bit of a curveball when we had a surprise renovation beginning December 14th! And then the big snowstorm changed our plans for this year as well. Regardless – I hope you all had the merriest of holiday seasons!

I LOVE Christmas lights!! But we were doomed from the beginning of December. The star did not light up. But I love it – and was not ready to give it up just yet. So we replaced the non-working 10 light strand with 35 teeny lights. It glows 85% more now! (Someone would say, if they understood fancy math equations.)
This is THEE Christmas song this year.
There are so many awesome things about this photo. I LOVE holiday birds. PLUS, an excuse to decorate my bathroom. Just look at that face! He’s ready for a Canadian winter.
When your cousins are in a play – you go see it! What an awesome night out. Such a funny show. And the sets were beyond amazing. #supportlocal
We purchased a new patio door the end of June and it has been on back-order since then. We didn’t think it would be happening until the Spring/Summer 2023. This was not the case. December 14th it went in! Forcing us to clear out our living room as much as possible. The kids ate their meals with the Christmas tree in the kitchen. After all was done, we we were left with this lovely patchwork of putty, new wall and trim that all needed painted. We knew this would not be happening before Christmas – so I came up with a creative way to cover some of the mess. (Introducing our “elf family” banner.)
With tree back in the living room – we were able to add our newest Christmas ornament. This little guy represents our time at the cottage this summer. I love his little fish on the line!
This guy was happy when this day arrived! (He even got one of his grades Christmas morning!)
Snowed in for Christmas eve? No problem!! We ate treats and played games. The Jackbox TV even had holiday themed rounds! #RELIGION
The kitties: Christmas morning vs Christmas night.
Every year we make a holiday drink. This year it was a Frosty the Snowman cocktail. And while the turkey, stuffing and everything else was AMAZING (I cannot take credit – because my husband does it all!). I have no photos to show for it because this drink was mighty strong! Haha! I soberly took these lovely photos before it all went down. #tipsyholiday

As I write with a cat sitting on my head – I just wanted to quickly wish you all a very Merry Christmas and an enjoyable holiday season all around.

I had high hopes for 2021…but it proved to be not as expected. Many plans cancelled and rescheduled. That seemed to be the theme of the year. However, one GREAT thing about 2021 was that we were lucky to move into our first home of our very own! Which was an adventure in itself. But also – I have grown fond of being forced to hang out with our little family more. And we haven’t killed each other yet. So that is a a big plus! In the photography world – not A LOT happened this year. I was happy to be able to offer my annual mini sessions in the Fall. But other than that – pretty quiet for K Photo and Design.

Thanks so much for hanging out with me!! At this time I’m putting a little pause on things while this lovely pandemic has gone a little crazy. But hoping to get my camera back out this Spring – so feel free to drop me a line!! Any previous clients can always order more digital images, prints or products (for contactless pick up). Stay safe out there!! And wishing you all the best for 2022!!! 🙂

This past year has definitely been interesting. Between restrictions on gatherings and when photographers are allowed to work – I was sure happy to push through with my annual Fall mini sessions. One of the big reasons is my VIP’s that I see every year. It just would not be the same without them! These guys always bring me a good laugh. I love the random competition between the kids. Who got a new coat and who has new boots for the shoot. Haha! They are definitely not shy to tell me their life stories. We had the perfect setting for all of these stories – this beautiful Nepean walking trail. And the weather could not have been better either.

I am looking forward to some nice warm weather to get out more with my camera. If you are looking to capture some family memories (while following Covid rules) please send a message my way! info@k-photo.ca

Stay safe everyone!!

Have you ever wondered if your little fur-baby would enjoy an outdoor family session with K Photo and Design? Well, this kitty did! I was so happy when I saw one of my favourite families walking down the trail to our pre-determined meeting spot with a little crate in hand. I honestly couldn’t believe how well behaved she was walking along tied to a leash. Nothing seemed to startle her. Not a gust of wind. Not people passing by. Or even other pets out for a walk. She was boss. Anyways…let’s get back to this lovely family. I ALWAYS have a good time with these guys. And so glad this pandemic did not put a damper on our fall photos of 2020.

Due to the lockdown, I am not taking any portrait clients at this time. However, when we get the go ahead to start working again – please think of me for any outdoor family (and pets!) that you would like photographed. Stay safe everyone!!

As everyone’s lives get busier…makes it difficult to find the time to get together. Which is why it has definitely been a few years since I’ve seen these guys. I can imagine the dinner table is hilarious in this house. The kids started a joke competition to try to see who had the funniest jokes. I heard some new ones that day, for sure!!

At this point in time, I am only photographing outdoors. So if you are looking for a rustic outdoor family session – I’m your photographer!! Stay safe everyone!

I love this family so much! And I’m so happy under the circumstances we were still able to get together this fall. We could not have asked for a better day either! The colours were out; and the temperature was right. [As a side-note, I always struggle with coming up with a title of these blog posts. It’s no secret I am a big supporter of Bath and Body Works…haha! Well, that is where the title of this post was inspired from. My current soap!! And it seemed appropriate.]

As always, still accepting outdoor family/children sessions for 2020. Please contact me if interested. And stay safe!

I met this family when this little guy was small enough to fit into a little basket. Last year he was just learning to walk at the time of our family photos. But THIS YEAR he was definitely on the move! And so independent!! I had everyone bring their own blankets/props this year and he insisted on being the one to carry that chair around. (I was not condoning child labor, I swear! Haha!) Always a good time with these guys. And we were done in time to get the Thanksgiving turkey in the oven. (Even swapped a few turkey tips.)

It’s been a little quiet around here…pandemic and everything. At this time I am booking outdoor sessions only. Feel free to contact me if you are interested. info@k-photo.ca Thanks, and stay safe!
