Raise your hand if you miss summer as much as I do! I'm sitting here huddled under multiple layers with a blanket over my lap while I blog this Cherry Beach engagement session from warmer days past and counting down the days until we're wandering the beach at dusk again. Destiny and Preston joined me last summer to spend some time goofing around, cuddling, and just being their cute selves while we captured some memories at one of my personal favourite Toronto beaches. Cherry Beach can get pretty busy but on a weekday evening it's the perfect place to bring your pups and wander around. Not only is there plenty of greenery and beachy goodness, there's also a killer view of the Toronto skyline if you walk far enough down the beach. The best!

Destiny and Preston, two of my new favourite people, brought along their hilarious dogs to join in the celebration. I always love when my clients bring their pups to a session and these particular dogs were clearly very excited to be included. I have a couple of requests when folks bring their fur friends to a session, one being that a handler/human friend also joins us so that the dogs can head home (or on a walk) after we take a few photos with them. In this case we spent about 10 minutes or so with their pets and the couple handed them over to a friend, freeing us up to explore the area without two very excited puppers in tow lol!

We spent some time on the beach, swatting mosquitos in the trees, and of course enjoying that Toronto city view. The moon showed up as our session was ending (just after the sun dipped below the horizon) and it was the perfect way to wrap things up. Cherry Beach will always be an iconic spot to take photos (IMO) and I'm always down to head back. If you're looking for a location that blends nature and urban vibes I give it a 10/10. Take me with you if you go!
