Kitchener Family Photographer


Your Love,
Captured Authentically


Family portraits are a centuries-old tradition for good reason. Capturing a moment in time in the lives of your family is one of the most meaningful ways to express your unconditional love. I’ve been a family photographer for over a decade. Explore session options and book today!

One photo can tell the story of your family in this chapter of life, moments you’ll never get back.

A great family portrait session is more than taking a photo of your family looking beautiful. It’s an opportunity to put your arms around your loved ones, to laugh and smile, to create memories. A good photographer will take more than your portrait, he will capture the moments that make you wish you always had your camera ready. Your family portraits session is an opportunity for you to put down your camera and be part of those moments. Your memories are precious. Your family is worth it.

Your Connection, Honoured Endlessly

I aim to help you remember what you love most about the humans you call family. A great family portrait session is more than taking a photo of your family looking beautiful. It’s an opportunity to connect; to wrap your arms around your loved ones, to laugh and smile, to create unforgettable memories. A great photographer will do more than take your portrait; he will capture the moments that make you wish you always had your camera ready.

Hi, I’m Ben!

I bring over a decade of experience as a family photographer in Kitchener-Waterloo to guide families through a fun, easy-going family photography experience. I’m a husband and father, so I know the value of capturing family memories. I’ll bring my calm yet playful energy to your session, putting everyone at ease.

Why Work With Me

Candid Approach

If you’re like me, you value authentic connection over perfect poses and cheesy smiles. I will put your family at ease, and feed you prompts to inspire genuine smiles and expressions of love.

Trust

As a parent, I understand how important your family memories are, and how keeping kids engaged and in good spirits can be difficult at times. Put your trust in me to strike the right tone with your kids to capture the moment without putting too much pressure on them to perform.

Personalized Experience

I will never try to shape your family into a cookie cutter, 15-minute photo session with pre-selected backgrounds and poses. Customizing your experience to best suit your preferences, schedule and locations is of utmost importance.

Your Portraits, Packaged Perfectly

To help you to understand the differences between the two types of experiences, here’s a description of how each of them work.

ALL-IN

The all-inclusive packages will give you unrestricted access to download and print all of the final images from your session. This means you can order prints directly through your gallery, or use your high-res files to print anywhere you like. I recommend ordering prints through your gallery, as I’ve calibrated my photos to my professional lab for the best colour reproduction.

A LITTLE LESS

The à la carte packages allow you to customize your experience. If you are looking for a budget-friendly option, or if you only intend to print a small handful of your photos, this package allows you to select which photos from your session to download. Best of all, you can print any of your photos through your gallery when you select this package, and you will of course have the option to download additional photos, for a fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

No – My family sessions usually take place outdoors at a park or trail. Sometimes I’m invited to my clients’ home for an indoor at-home session. If you want an indoor session but not at home, there are a number of beautiful studio spaces in the region that would be perfect for an indoor family session and are pretty affordable to rent for an hour or two. Inquire for more info about what options are available.

For me to travel to your family session, up to 80km is included in your session fee. Additional travel fees may apply for sessions that require me to travel more than that to get to and home from your session.

Within 2-3 weeks of your session, you will receive a link to your online photo gallery where you can view, share, and download your images.

Connected to your online gallery is a beautiful print shop, featuring a wide range of high quality printed products like framed and unframed prints, albums, cards and much more. Order prints through your gallery for guaranteed quality. You can also use your high-resolution files that you will download from your gallery to print a lab of your choice.

I have more answers! Send me an email and we’ll chat.
