I think for many of us having our pictures taken comes with some anxiety, that whole feeling of not knowing what to expect or what to do.  I do have a session overview on my site that potential client’s can view to get an idea of the process but thought I would give a bit more of a candid overview here!

All sessions I do are on-location throughout the Greater Toronto Area.  This allows you to have a session at your home, a park, a funky downtown location … really the sky is the limit.  Now what if you don’t have a great location in mind and just can’t figure one out??  Well don’t let that stop you from booking a session.  All I need to know is what type of feel you would like your images to have or a particular style you would like to see captured and I can suggest many locations that I have used and love.  So whether its a fun family session that you’d like to see in a park setting or a child’s session with a bit more of an urban appeal a perfect location is available!!

One of the comments I hear often is “But I don’t have a fancy, interesting, fill in the blank type of house” so I can’t do a session here.  To any of you thinking this very thing I ask that you to keep an open mind.  You would be incredibly surprised how interesting your home really is … locations you may not have considered could be the perfect setting for pictures to be taken:  The parents bed, a nursery or child’s room, the kitchen or even your front doorway can all lend themselves to creative and beautiful images of your children or family.

I often mention that I prefer sessions to have a unstructured, relaxed approach.  Now this doesn’t mean that you will be left wondering what to do, where to go etc.  I am happy to suggest interesting settings within your home or chosen location where various looks can be achieved.  Images will have a variety of looks as well … sometimes I will simply follow and interact with a toddler and capture very candid moments.  But I may also ask the family to pile onto a couch or big bed for a fun series of family shots … the reactions and moments are still natural and fun, with just a touch of direction.

I will from time to time be adding to this “what to expect” line of thinking … I hope this allows you to have a better understanding of the inner workings at Meghan Liddle Photography.  And remember always feel free to drop me an email or phone call and I will answer any questions you may have!

Oh and stay tuned for some “then and now” additions to the blog as a couple of my newborn gallery babies are turning 6 months old!!!
