Three things that may surprise mom during a family session in Toronto.
From booking your Toronto photographer, to planning the outfits and the haircuts, to choosing the location and cross referencing schedules and extracurriculars and packing the snacks for the little ones - you’re ready for all eventualities at your family photo session, right? Well here are three things that might leave you feeling a little surprised during your shoot.

The Unexpected Laughter: I always tell my moms that the session may feel a little chaotic and stressful at times but if you let go and roll with the punches, it can be so much fun. Moms I work with often find that the funniest and most memorable moments end up being the ones they least expected—like a child making a particular funny face, a family member blurting out something embarasing, or an accidental moment of chaos that turns into pure joy. Those candid laughs often make the best memories!
A New View of the Ones You Love: After seeing all the photos, moms are reminded of just how beautifully unique their family is. Whether it’s how everyone interacts with each other, the crooked smiles, those baby curls or the quiet look of admiration, the session itself can help moms appreciate the little things about their family that may get overlooked in the hustle bustle of day-to-day life.

The Magic of Family Bonding: A photography session can bring the family closer, especially when everyone is focused on one another without distractions. Moms might be surprised at how the photos capture not just their family’s smiles but also the emotional connection between them—those moments when their kids hold hands or snuggle together. It’s a fun reminder of how strong their family bond truly is!
In addition to beautiful photos, these intangibles are an added bonus of the family photo session experience.
