Looking for the perfect spot in Guelph to capture your next family or newborn session? Whether you’re dreaming of golden light through the trees, quiet trails for baby snuggles, or open spaces where your kids can run wild and free, this guide shares my favourite local parks that offer beautiful, natural backdrops for heartfelt moments. From peaceful riverside trails to storybook ruins, these are the places where your family’s memories can truly shine.

A beautiful cake smash session with lots of shots of baby Aurelia and her parents at the Elle Chic Photography Studio by Guelph family photographer. A mix of casual and dressy wardrobe choices gave so much variety to this session!

As a Guelph Family Photographer, I love the natural feel of outdoor sessions at golden hour with warm sunlight and a green setting.
