We have known the Boake family for a while now. We have grown with them and captured their engagement, wedding, & newborn photos! So when they invited us to come to their beautiful property to capture their Creemore Family Session, we were delighted! We met Molly, their little firecracker a year ago when we captured her newborn session, and couldn’t wait to see how much she’d grown!
Fun fact: We named or little company after Hugh’s cabin, Boakview! It is an old paper mill, turned train station, turned cabin! It was originally owned by, you guessed it, the Boake Family! So when Markie and Andrew were looking for wedding photographers, our company name immediately grabbed their attention. The rest is history!
The family now resides in Creemore, Ontario and it’s truly majestic! The property lies nestled on a hill surrounded by forests, fields, and the most magnificent view of the countryside. It’s a photographer’s dream! So on a rainy fall day, we packed up our gear and headed to this little slice of paradise two hours away from the city. We were not disappointed – light drizzle and all!
Although rainy, the conditions for a fall family session were perfect. Clients always ask us what kind of weather is ideal for an outdoor photo-session, and tend to be surprised when we respond with a resounding “overcast!” While sunny conditions are amazing for playing outside, for photos we prefer the slightly gloomy. Overcast weather allows for even lighting, no shadowing or squinting, and makes everyone look great on camera!
Don’t get me wrong, we will capture your family and loved ones in any weather – rain or shine – but when it comes to what we love? Give us a grey day any day of the month! So when you are planning an outdoor session with little ones, don’t worry too much about a little drizzle – we promise we will make it fun!
