It's always exciting to try a new location for a family photo shoot. When it is a young family, I look for space – space to move in, space that the children will find fun and interesting, a location filled with lots of unique nooks and crannies to keep them occupied and give me the opportunity to photograph them as they explore.
When planning a recent shoot I asked the couple if they had a preference for the location. They asked if I thought the rose garden on William St. in Belleville would work so I told them I would check it out. A few nights prior to the shoot I dropped by the gardens and I immediately knew it would be a great spot for us to spend our Sunday morning.
Everything was on our side. Perfect weather. Beautiful gardens. We couldn't have asked for more. It was Father's Day and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed photographing this father with his family on his special day.
