Vivian Doan Montreal Natural Light Portrait Photographer

We went for a visit to Toronto and stayed with my husband’s extended family at their farmhouse! What a great adventure that was for a city girl like myself… the fresh air and the adorable little M’noden and the entire family.

I chose to do the photos in a high contrast sepia tone to make them feel like old 70s style photographs. The whole farmhouse has that old lived-in full of character vibe and I felt that doing them in this warm rich tone brought out the real feeling I had being there.

Here are some photos from a session of a really lovely couple and their two beautiful girls Maya and Nelli, plus their little poodle Paco who is the front-runner for best behaved dog ever!

I had two sessions with this lovely family! I applied a Lightroom effect on the photos to bring out more warmth and detail over the standard black and white. It worked well for this session.

Recently I went out on a snowy day to photograph what is probably one of the cutest families ever in their beautifully restored townhouse. The setting came out beautifully which makes me so excited about in-home photography. The photos are never the same generic shots because the setting of your home becomes part of the photo, and everyone’s home is different, full of love and character and little corners!

I had a great time at this photo session, with little Lucas being quite the character and his mommy being very pregnant! The new baby arrived last week and I cannot wait to come back to photograph this very adorable and photogenic family again!
