As a Guelph Family Photographer, this was my second time capturing Lillian and Kai. They wanted to have their maternity photo session in the Guelph Arboretum, but just with different spots than their last session. Check out their previous session here and see how this couple's love has grown https://www.ellechicphotography.com/post/lillian-kai-a-fall-couples-session It won't be the last time you see their faces on this blog...

This was my last outdoor fall session of the year and the weather was *chefs kiss*. A fall extended family photo session with Ashley's parents at the Guelph Arboretum. As a Guelph Family Photographer, I loved capturing the posed pictures of this extended family and the fun candid photos of the girls playing in leaves and collecting milkweed.

An absolutely adorable cake smash session featuring sweet Connnor turning one. Even his two dogs came for the photos and dressed up for the occasion. As a Guelph Family Photographer, my cake smash sessions include not just cake smash photos, but also family photos with parents and siblings (or fur siblings!), and timeless milestone portraits. Mom in these photos is wearing a studio dress from the Elle Chic Studio Wardrobe.

A special session at the Rockwood Conservation Area with this loving couple and their dog, Mia. As a Guelph Family Photographer who does a lot of work with kids, it's always nice to do a session that focuses just on adults! Sydney contacted me because she wanted to gift a session to her partner Shelley that was really focused on her dog and hightlighted the natural element of Rockwood Conservation.

2025 Christmas Petites in the Elle Chic Photography Studio in Guelph, Ontario. A festive day that was sold out with 14 families coming through the studio to capture their holiday pictures.

A Fall Petite Session at the Guelph Arboretum. As a Guelph Family Photographer, I offer petite sessions a few times a year. A petite session is 15 minutes in length and usually consists of a gallery of 15-20 photos to choose from. Petite sessions are the perfect way to update family photos from capturing mom and dad with the kids to the growing connection between siblings.

Something a little different in the Elle Chic Photography Studio. This mom inquired about a newborn session ... just for baby. As a Guelph Newborn Photographer, my sessions are typically lifestyle/family oriented, but I was happy to accommodate this mom's special request. Because my sessions are lifetsyle focused, I did want to include the mom in some pictures for hands on baby, holding baby's feet etc. Mom chose a dress from the Elle Chic Studio Wardrobe.
