I’m Tia


I’m a Toronto family photographer with a background in video, storytelling, and content creation.

My goal is to make every Keepsake Session feel relaxed, natural, and thoughtfully guided, so you have photographs of your family that feel true to this season of life.

I care about the small moments: the way your child reaches for your hand, the laugh that happens when everyone stops trying so hard, and the quiet details you don’t realise you’ll miss until later.

No stiff posing. No pressure to know what to do. I’ll guide you through it.

Pause.

Time moves quickly. One minute you’re packing snacks, chasing toddlers, or trying to get everyone dressed at the same time. The next, this season already looks different.

A Keepsake Session gives you space to slow down and hold onto what life feels like right now, whether it’s just you and your little ones, your dog who is clearly part of the family, a newborn season, or grandparents joining in.

I’ll guide you gently so the session feels calm, natural, and true to your family.

Kind Words From Families

A few notes from families I’ve had the honour of photographing.


“I will always remember this experience as beautiful moments you were able to capture with my son.”

Thank you so much for such a magical time this evening. I appreciate your patience and kindness, and I will always remember this experience as beautiful moments you were able to capture with my son.

Family Photography FAQ

A few helpful notes before you start your inquiry.

Booking Your Session

Start here if you’re ready to inquire or want to understand how booking works.

All inquiries begin through my inquiry form so I can keep your details organised and respond thoughtfully.

Once you submit the form, I’ll follow up with availability, session details, and next steps. When you’re ready to move forward, your date is officially reserved once the booking process is completed through HoneyBook.

Keepsake Session investment begins at $300 CAD for an outdoor session and $400 CAD for a studio session.

Both include a 60-minute session, gentle direction, a full edited gallery, and print-ready high-resolution images.

Studio sessions include the studio rental fee.

Yes, absolutely. I always recommend planning around your child’s natural rhythm whenever we can.

For outdoor sessions, we’ll also consider the best light, usually earlier in the morning or closer to golden hour. If your little one is happiest at a different time, we’ll choose the option that makes the most sense for your family.

A peaceful child is better than perfect light. Truly.

Planning Your Family Photos

A few simple notes to help your session feel calm, prepared, and natural.

You can expect a calm, lightly guided session. I’ll help with simple direction, where to stand, how to move, and what to do with your hands so you’re not left wondering.

Kids do not need to perform, sit perfectly, or smile on command the whole time. We’ll give them space, keep things moving, and focus on connection over perfection.

Soft neutrals, warm earth tones, creams, muted colours, and simple textures photograph beautifully.

You do not need to match perfectly. Coordinated outfits usually look more natural than everyone wearing the exact same thing.

Once you book, I can share wardrobe guidance to help your outfits feel cohesive and comfortable.

Session Locations & Weather

Helpful details for choosing your location and knowing what happens if plans need to shift.

Studio sessions are available and include the studio rental fee.

At-home sessions may be available depending on location, natural light, and the type of session you’re hoping for. If you’re unsure, share a few details in the inquiry form and I’ll let you know what would work best.

I photograph families across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, including Scarborough, Markham, Pickering and North York.

Popular outdoor locations include parks, waterfront areas, gardens, and quiet neighbourhood spaces with soft natural light. Once you inquire, I can help suggest a location that fits your family, season, and comfort level.

We’ll keep an eye on the forecast together. If the weather is not workable, we can choose a new date or move to a studio option if available.

No need to panic-refresh the weather app every six minutes. I’ll help guide the call if the forecast starts looking uncertain.

INQUIRE

If my work feels like the right fit, I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.

All inquiries begin through the form so I can keep the details in one place and respond thoughtfully. Whether you’re just beginning your family story, documenting a new season, or gathering everyone together, share what you can and I’ll guide you from there.
