A Heartfelt Backyard Celebration in the GTA

On June 21, 2025, I had the joy of documenting little Sia’s third birthday party in the backyard of her family’s home in Toronto.

That session was full of warmth and gentle spring colors, and it’s been such a joy to continue documenting their family story.
