Lytton Park Family Portraits by Storey Wilkins Photography

When Play Becomes the Portrait

These brothers transformed their North Toronto backyard into pure entertainment during their family session. Their silly boy games created moments I never would have thought to orchestrate—and that's exactly what makes them special. Editorial-quality family photography happens when you step back and let authentic interaction unfold.

Candid Moments, Editorial Polish

While this image captures a completely spontaneous moment, notice the visual harmony. Their coordinated shades of blue—carefully selected by their thoughtful mom—create cohesion without looking overly matched or staged. This is the sweet spot: genuine behavior elevated by smart styling choices.

The Details That Matter for Publication

Harmonious color coordination isn't just aesthetically pleasing; it's essential for professional, publication-ready photography. When clothing works together, nothing distracts from the subjects themselves. Plain tops without logos, bold patterns, or busy graphics keep the focus where it belongs—on the children's expressions, interactions, and personalities.

Backyard as Studio

Photographing kids in their own backyard captures them in their most natural state, doing what they genuinely do. The familiar environment means authentic play, real laughter, and those unpredictable moments that make family photography compelling. It's lifestyle documentation at its best—real life, beautifully lit and thoughtfully composed.
