Honest Family Stories in Montreal

Family Photography Rooted in Love and Real Life

My family sessions are about documenting real life, the love, the chaos, the quiet moments in between. These aren’t stiff poses or forced smiles, they’re honest photos that show your family exactly as you are right now.

I photograph families across Montreal and the surrounding areas, and I also travel for sessions (just reach out for a custom quote).

Meet your Montreal FAMILY Photographer

Hi, I’m Carolina!

I’ve been photographing families in Montreal for over 15 years, and as a mom of two older kids, I know firsthand how quickly the years pass. One day you’re chasing toddlers, the next you’re wondering how they grew up so fast.

Photos are the only way to hold onto those little moments in between.

That’s why I photograph families the way I do. My sessions are laid back and easygoing, so you can just be yourselves while I take care of capturing it all. Parents often tell me how much they love being able to relax, enjoy their family, and actually be in the photos instead of taking them.

From start to finish, I keep the process simple, easy booking, clear communication, and a session that feels natural. You don’t need a perfect house, perfectly behaved kids, or matching outfits. You just need to show up as you are, and I’ll do the rest.

If you’re looking for family photography in Montreal that feels real and effortless, I’d love to capture this season for you.

Family Session Details

Is This Type of Photography Right for You?

Family photography isn’t one size fits all. My approach is about real moments, not perfect poses. These sessions are for families who want more than a smiling at the camera picture. They are for families who want to press pause and remember how life truly feels right now.

The love, the chaos, the laughter, and the quiet moments in between all matter. If you want photos that look and feel like your family, just as you are in this season of life, then this might be the right fit for you.

What a Session With Me Feels Like

Your session will be laid back, relaxed, and completely informal. No stiff poses, no “say cheese,” no looking at the camera, and no pressure to perform. Instead, you’ll focus on your family, spending real time together, whether that means cuddling on the couch, chasing your kids in the park, or laughing through the chaos.

I’ll guide you when you need it, but never in a way that feels forced.

Who I Love Working With

I love photographing families who are happy to let their kids be kids, wild, silly, curious, and real. Families who embrace the mess and the magic, who love to laugh and lean into connection. You want photos that show how this stage of life feels, because you know it won’t last forever.

What To Expect From Your Family Photo Session

A Relaxed, Playful Experience

No stiff poses, no pressure, just your family as you are.

Family sessions are laid back and fun. Kids run, climb, laugh, and get silly, and that’s exactly what I want to capture. I’ll give you guidance that sparks connection so you can focus on enjoying time together instead of worrying about the camera.

At Home or Outdoors, Where You Feel Most Comfortable

The best setting is the one that feels like you.

Sessions can take place in your home, your neighbourhood, or outdoors in one of Montreal’s beautiful urban or green spaces. Your house doesn’t need to be spotless, and you don’t need a fancy location. What matters is that you’re comfortable and together.

Guidance Without Pressure

Gentle direction so your photos feel natural.

I won’t fully pose you, but I’ll step in with suggestions when needed. Instead of looking at the camera, you’ll focus on each other, cuddling on the couch, exploring outside, or sharing a laugh. My goal is to make the whole experience relaxed, stress free, and true to your family.

Most families choose their home. That’s where you and your kids feel most comfortable. We can also shoot outdoors at a spot that means something to you. Really, anything works.

Wear what you’re comfortable in. Skip the fancy dress clothes and wear something you can play in. Once you book, I’ll send you a guide with outfit ideas.

There’s no problem if your space is small – all we need is a room with a window and we can create beautiful images for your family. Many of the photos in my portfolio were taken in small modest spaces. The photos are about your family, not your home.

That’s totally normal, and it’s never a problem. I work with kids all the time, and I follow their lead. Sometimes the little in-between moments, cuddles, silliness, or even shyness, make the most meaningful photos.

I show up with just my camera. I’ll look around and figure out where to shoot. I’ll chat with your kids so they trust me. Then we just have fun. Kids get to be kids. I give a little guidance but mostly I follow their lead. There are usually more smiles than tears.

You’re definitely not alone, so many parents feel this way. After 15 years of photographing families, I know how to use flattering light and angles, but more importantly, I focus on connection. Once you’re laughing and playing with your kids, you’ll stop worrying about the camera and just enjoy being together. That’s when the most beautiful photos happen.

My sessions are for immediate family only. That’s you, your spouse, kids, and pets. Grandparents can be added for an extra fee. For bigger family groups, contact me so we can talk details.

Yes. You can order prints, frames, and albums right from your online gallery. I use a professional lab. Don’t let your photos sit on your phone! Albums are really popular and a great way to enjoy your photos for years.
