Maternity Session at Mint Studios
Expecting a child is an exciting and life-changing experience, and one that deserves to be captured and celebrated. I recently had the pleasure of working with a lovely couple who were expecting their first child, for a maternity session at Mint Room Studios in Toronto. It was a beautiful experience that captured their love, excitement, and anticipation for their new arrival.
As soon as we met, I could tell that this couple was genuinely excited to be starting their journey as parents. They were warm and welcoming, and it was clear that they had put a lot of thought into their session. The Mint Room Studios were the perfect setting for our shoot, offering a spacious, bright, and modern space.
As we began the session, I took some time to get to know the couple and what they were hoping to achieve with their photos. They had a clear vision for what they wanted, and I was thrilled to help bring their ideas to life. We discussed various poses, outfits, that would help to tell their story and capture their unique personalities.
The couple was amazing in front of the camera. They were so natural, comfortable, and in love, which made for some beautiful and heartfelt photos. It was an honor to capture their bond and the joy they felt in anticipation of their new arrival.
Overall, the maternity photography session with this wonderful couple at Mint Room Studios in Toronto was a beautiful and memorable experience. It was an honor to capture their love and excitement in anticipation of their new arrival. I wish them all the best as they embark on their journey as parents and look forward to capturing more special moments for them in the future.

Fall Family Photo Outfit Inspiration: Cozy, Neutral & Timeless
If you’re planning fall family photos in Toronto and surrounding areas, you’re probably already thinking about what to wear. And honestly… this is the part that can feel the most overwhelming. You want to look coordinated, but not matchy. Stylish, but not overdone. Warm enough for the weather, but still cute.
Breathe — I’ve got you.
Below is your guide to choosing cozy, neutral & timeless fall outfits for your family photos. These suggestions are based on what actually photographs beautifully in the warm autumn tones we’re lucky to have here across Toronto and the GTA.
01. Start With a Warm, Neutral Colour Palette
Neutrals photograph beautifully in fall because they naturally complement the golden leaves, warm sunlight, and earthy tones.
Think:
Cream
Oatmeal
Camel
Taupe
Soft browns
Grey
Olive
Rust
Warm white
Denim (light or mid-wash)
Aim for a mix of tones, rather than everyone in the exact same colour — it keeps your photos feeling natural and effortless.
Tip: Lay all the outfits on a bed together. If one item jumps out as too bold or bright, swap it for a softer tone.
02. Texture Over Pattern
Texture adds richness and photographs beautifully in the cooler fall air.
Consider:
Knit sweaters
Linen shirts
Corduroy trousers
Wool coats
Ribbed cotton tops
Chunky scarves
Patterns can work too, sparingly:
Small plaid
Thin stripes
Subtle florals
Try to avoid large logos or bold graphics — they tend to pull attention away from your expressions and connection.
03. Coordinate, Don’t Match
We’re not aiming for the “everyone in the same shirt” look. Instead:
Choose one outfit first (usually whoever is most excited about the photos or wants to feel really good).
Style everyone else’s looks around that palette.
Example:
If Mom is wearing a cream knit sweater + tan skirt, then:
Partner could go with olive, brown, or oatmeal
Children in rust, denim, cream, or soft browns
Same palette → different tones → cohesive and effortless.
04. Comfort is Key (Especially for Kids)
Kids play, move, explore — and that’s where the magic of fall sessions is.
Choose clothing that:
Allows easy movement
Feels soft (no scratchy fabrics)
Layers well (autumn weather changes quickly)
Doesn’t require constant adjusting
If your child feels good → they’ll show up as themselves. And that’s what we want.
05. Where to Shop (In Toronto + Online)
Some tried-and-true places to look:
Zara Kids
H&M Conscious Basics
The Simple Folk / Jamie Kay
Aritzia + Oak + Fort (for parents)
Gap / Roots for layers
Once Upon a Child for sustainable kids’ neutrals
06. Outfit Inspiration Palettes
Warm & Earthy
Mom: Oatmeal knit dress + camel coat
Partner: Olive button-down + brown chinos
Children: Rust sweaters + tights / overalls
Soft & Neutral
Mom: Beige cardigan + linen pants
Partner: Light grey sweater + denim
Children: Cream sweaters + corduroy
Woodland Cozy
Mom: Forest green dress + wool scarf
Partner: Cream Henley + brown jacket
Children: Knit rompers / ribbed sets in oatmeal tones
The Most Important Thing
You do not need to look perfect.
You just need to look like you — in outfits that feel comfortable, natural, and warm.
The beauty of fall family photos lies in connection:
the way your child reaches for your hand,
the giggles between siblings,
the way you tuck a curl behind their ear.
Clothing simply supports the moment — it doesn’t create it.
