I was so pumped when the Heron family asked if they could bring their canoe for some romantic and fun engagement and family canoe photos on the beautiful St. Lawrence river! I could not wait to go see the beautiful landscapes in the Long Sault Parkways because I had heard about the amazing sunsets. And it did not disappoint!! The evening that we went, it was a bit chilly for a summer night but the skies were a stunning orange and pink colour, I could not believe how beautiful it was!
So match that beautiful sunset sky with an even more beautiful family and you find pure magic! Engagement photos of an adventurous family that cannot be taken on an iPhone, photos that are not “selfie” worthy but rather engagement photos that are treasured forever.
It felt like one of the most peaceful and therapeutic photoshoots I had ever done because there was not another soul in sight. All that was surrounding us was large water views, even bigger orange skies, the sound of different birds, and beautiful laughter of a family who was so deeply connected that I could not help but feel so renewed and energized.
What connected this family was their love of adventure! They were the ones that told me about this hidden treasure, the Long Sault Parkway in Ontario, Canada. They live on the south shore of Montreal, Canada so it was under an hour to arrive there! I live on the north shore of Montreal so it was just a bit over an hour but not far at all for such a beautiful location that makes you feel like you’re on vacation when in reality you’re close to home!
This family of 4 inspires me so much to see life as a grand adventure to share all together, to laugh and explore, to experience new things no matter the stage of life you’re in! They had a sweet little 3 month old baby boy and the sweetest bigger brother who was 4 years old and even with their young children, they are constantly surprising me with the new places they visit, the mountains they climb, the rivers they canoe on. They are amazing!!! And I’m so grateful to have given them engagement photos of this time in their life as they embark on the next chapter of their adventures together.
While the canoe photos are for sure my favourite, especially with their beautiful canoe from the Quebec-owned, family run business Esquif, I also love the photos of the sweet connections between the 4 of them as well as between the two little brothers. The 4 year old sweetheart did not stop telling me how much he loves his baby brother and my heart melted! I watched him take care of him and hold him tight.
