Lake Clear Cottage Family Session: The Donohue’s

There’s something magical about spending a summer day with family at a lakeside cottage, and for the Donohue family, that’s exactly where their best memories are made. Located on the beautiful shores of Lake Clear, Ontario, their cottage is the perfect setting for a family session filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

From the moment I arrived, it was clear that the Donohues share a close-knit bond. Their warmth and natural connection were immediately apparent, making it a joy to photograph them in such a meaningful space. The sprawling views of the lake, the towering trees, and the charming cottage all served as a stunning backdrop for their session.

We began the shoot by the water, capturing candid moments as the kids ran around barefoot, laughing and playing in the yard. The grandparents basked in the joy of being surrounded by their grandchildren. The energy was full of life, and the love between them was palpable.

The session took us to several spots around the property, including the dock and the grassy areas near the water’s edge. As the family shared jokes, posed for some traditional portraits, and enjoyed their time together, it was impossible not to feel the genuine connection that made each moment so special. The kids threw rocks into the lake, while the adults shared stories from summers past, all of it contributing to the magic of the day.

We wrapped up the session with some beautiful sunset shots, the soft light casting a warm glow over the lake. The colors in the sky reflected the love and joy of the Donohue family, making for the perfect end to a day full of memories.

For the Donohues, this family session will always be a treasured reminder of their summers spent at Lake Clear, where time slows down, and love fills the air.
