BRANDY+TED (and OLLIE too!)

A couple of weekends ago we had the pleasure of shooting Brandy and Ted and their adorable little boy for their engagement shoot. Since they used to live in the area, Lafontaine Park is of their favorite places in Montreal. I just loved that Brandy and Ted brought Ollie along for their shoot – their upcoming wedding is going to be a real celebration of them as a family and making vows to be one forever. If there’s one word that I can use to describe this lovely couple, it’s this: genuine. They wanted every part of this shoot to be true to who they are as people and to their personalities, and Tim and I were totally rolling with that because we honestly feel that’s our job as photographers – capturing the true spirit of our clients. So, scissor kicks in the middle of an open field? Yup, totally them! Sipping on bowls of latte on a sidewalk cafe? Only one of their favorite things to do! Following a cat down the street so Ollie could pet him? That’s why their little boy is so inquisitive and spirited. We had so much fun doing their shoot and hanging out with them – we can’t wait for their wedding! Check out some of our favorite images below:

The Ma Family Photoshoot!

Family: the one thing that you can count on to be there for you at all times, in seasons of joy and of sorrow and everything in between. Though the bonds between parents and their children, brothers and sisters are undeniably strong, family transcends people who are related and encompasses those who matter most in your life. We had the pleasure of photographing the Ma family last weekend up in Tremblant, as they enjoyed a weekend all together gathered under one roof, as they laughed and goofed off.

Happy Holidays!

Tim and I want to wish all our readers a belated Merry Christmas and also a Happy New Year! The blog has been lacking an update in the past couple of weeks but we took some time off to travel, relax and see lots of family over the holidays. We’ve got a busy week ahead of us too – a photographer’s conference next week and then the Marions Nous wedding show in Place Bonaventure next weekend.

We’ve got quite a few shoots and a wedding in the wings waiting to be blogged, and I’ve got a year-end retrospective that I’m hoping to share with you by, er, the year end (if not January 1st!) but I leave you all now with a few shots from a really fun photoshoot that we did in early December with Aimee, Danny and their two darling little boys. Aimee who is the prolific blogger and gourmande extrodinare from Under the High Chair makes an appearance on our blog on a regular basis as we are good friends with the Bourques and big fans of her food. Tim and I have been privileged to photograph her family over the past couple of years and we delighted to do a shoot as an homage to the sadly-now-folded Gourmet magazine in time for the holidays. We set up our kitchen here at Tim Chin Photography like a studio and Aimee brought the concept, the yummy food and family to get that perfect shot that would capture the spirit of their family. If you think they all look a little Mad Men-esque (one of our favorite shows) it’s because that was the look we were going for. Looking at these images makes Tim and me smile so we’ve posted a few of them here – enjoy!

And…the finished product is on the right below:

We ended the session with headshots of the good-looking family:

Keep posted- our year end retrospective is coming soon!

Just Because: The Ricks Family!

An adorable toddler, an upcoming 5 year wedding anniversary and a long awaited return trip to Montreal. We can’t think of a better way to commemorate all this than a photoshoot! I go way back with Debbie, when she was in Montreal attending McGill. She moved to Austin after graduating and met the love of her life Jamie. Tim and I and a whole posse of friends flew down to Houston to celebrate their wedding with them almost 5 years ago. A few years later they welcomed adorable little Daniel, whom Tim and I got to meet when they all visited earlier this month. He is a little ball of energy and full of smiles. We ended their photosession with some time with Debbie and Jamie alone who showed us that 5 years into marriage with a child, things are still as romantic as when they first got engaged! Here are some of our favorite shots from their session:

…and Baby makes three: Chin family session!

No, no, no people, we do not have news of any kind whatsoever! We do have a plethora of absolutely adorable pictures of baby Noah, beloved little boy of our dear friends Gabe and Gamoon (also Chins). We go way back – like back in the days of teen drama and the stress of university. We even all got married in the same year! Gabe and Gamoon have now ascended to the next life stage and are parents to a bouncing baby boy who recently turned 9 months. They’ve been incredible friends to us so we were honored that they asked us to photograph Noah and also them together as a family. So Tim and I arrived early one morning last week (man, babies are early risers!) for their session and some brunch. Here’s a few of our favorites from the shoot:

This next series of three just cracks me up:
