Editorial family photography can be both timeless and playful. I love to do on-location lifestyle and documentary work that captures families authentically—whether that means tender moments or delightfully weird scenarios like this one, where the dog appears significantly larger than the new baby arrival.
When families welcome a baby into a home with pets, their relationship becomes part of the story worth documenting. This image playfully suggests the dog is eyeing "baby salad"—created through careful composition, a strategically placed dog biscuit behind the baby, and plenty of parental hands nearby ensuring complete safety. It's editorial creativity grounded in responsible practice.
There are countless ways to document the relationship between pets and newborns. Some images capture tender protection, others show curious investigation. This approach embraces humor and personality, creating a photograph that's both publication-worthy and deeply personal to this family. It's the kind of image that tells their unique story.
As an experienced Toronto family photographer, I'm passionate about capturing beautiful, genuine moments and lives well lived. My specialty is professional family photography that showcases your family authentically—through lifestyle and documentary approaches that balance technical excellence with creative vision.
