DDSA Winter Portrait Sessions

Meaghan Marmillod October 8, 2022

I am so excited to have partnered with the Durham Down Syndrome Association for some exciting winter family portrait sessions! My own Evie is one of the lucky few with and extra 21st chromosome, so photographing some of her friends was an absolute treat! Was it a little chilly? Sure! But we were too busy having fun to notice.

I could just drown in those gorgeous baby blue eyes!

Mom + Me Portrait Session

Meaghan Marmillod January 23, 2022

As parents we take so many pictures of our children, but we often forget to get in the frame ourselves! A parent and me portrait session is the perfect way to make sure that you are present in your kids’ childhood photos. This gorgeous mama and her three kids had so much fun during this summer Mom and Me portrait session.

Dandelion Field Adventure Session

Our children are constantly changing and growing! I love to capture those simple, everyday moments that capture their interest and personalities at every stage! Candid images are my favourite! No need to for fancy outfits or special occasions to capture beautiful memories. This dandelion field adventure was captures just around the corner at the local park!

Winter Family Portrait Session

No matter the age of your children, it’s so important to capture your family at all their stages! This lovely family of an adult child braved the chilly, Ontario winter to capture some images of their family at d’Hillier park in Whitby before their son headed off to university and before they became empty nesters!

Autumn Family Portrait Session

Meaghan Marmillod January 15, 2021

It’s always an honour to be asked by another photographer to take her family portraits! As a photographer, the struggle is real to get in the frame yourself, so I was happy to help this amazing momtog update her family photos. Our children grow so fast, and we want to document every stage, but moms, please remember to get into the photographs yourself! So on a mild autumn day, we found some gorgeous fall colours in a local Whitby Park and had such fun snapping some updated family portraits.
