Getting great family shots can be difficult when there are kids involved (I share some tips and tricks in my article “The Perfect Portrait”) but Jennifer King of JKP Photography somehow managed to bring out the best in us.
Although Frannie is already four and a half, this was the first time we’ve ever had a professional family portrait taken! We’ve gone to the chain studios for shots of the girls, both together and separately, but never a picture of all four of us.
My ‘teaser’ shots arrived by email just a couple of days later, and the CD with all of the images, many edited, arrived after a couple of weeks. Jennifer signs away the rights so that purchasers can print whichever photos they choose, which is wonderful, since I never use the 10 x 13 that comes with a studio package, and I always seem to need more 5 x 7’s.
The total cost of our photo session? $90 plus tax, and the cost of whatever prints we make (which will be done inexpensively at the Loblaw’s Photolab!) Our package was the Autumn Colours Special, which was kind of ironic since we have very few autumn colours on our property, and the day was so incredibly windy that most of the best shots came when we moved things inside).
JKP also does beautiful maternity, newborn and wedding portraits, samples of which are available on her website.
Beautiful shots, almost neighbour.

Kate, they're gorgeous! What a lovely family you have 🙂 I love the indoor shots with the white background.
These photos are amazing!!! I say hang the garland around the picture frames. You have to embrace a little more clutter at Christmas!
I love your pic's! They are amazing!!!! Can't wait to check out the website of the website to see their other work. 🙂 Thank you for the follow!
Awesome job Kate! I am a HUGE fan of photography and I love my photographs! I am so happy to see that you have a family photo now! I have seen Jennifer King's photography at my friends house (they are sister-in-laws) and I have admired her work! You have reminded me that I need to get a more up-to-date photo taken of our family too!

Kate – you have a beautiful family! Your photographer did a great job! We will definitely keep her in mind. Thanks for sharing those. The individual shots of the girls are fantastic!
