Siblings!

 Okay, probably one of my all time favourite shoots! These siblings are all so unique, and SO.MUCH.FUN. Patrick is probably the jokester of the bunch, and it was hard to keep composed during some of his many funny moments on this day.
 As said before, and I'll probably continually say this about this shoot... these kids are STUNNERS! Each one as individual as the leaves on the ground that day, and yet so perfect in his or her own way.
 Age progression shots are ones I LOVE to do... The two in the middle are twins too by the way (Reid and Hali).
The sun was out, the smiles were big and the energy was crazy high... this shoot made me really appreciate how candid siblings are, and how wonderfully fantastic it is to have a shoot just for the kids!  Each photo was as good as the very first, and I am so happy I had the privilege of workings with these young folks!

Who says Family can't be chosen?

 This merged family is one that literally let me trudge them through mud and sat on a slippery hill for these photographs! I felt super guilty for what I put them through for that "perfect-shot", but they were content just to follow instructions. It was a cold day, and it had rained the night before; still they were a wonder to work with! 
 With new milestones like Kyle's move to highschool and Sam's move to college, these photos are truly memorable. Even when I got lost, and couldn't find the areas I wanted to capture of this forest's natural beauty, they were so patient with me. It was my second shoot in this particular area, and I have to say, it changes so quickly and drastically with the seasons.
                                       All in all, a fantastic day with wonderful clients!

Stacey, Bill & Kids

 It's always great to have repeat clients, but when they're your family too, it's all the better! I was SUPER excited to photograph Bill, Stacey, Shelby and Kiera as it was the absolute PERFECT natural lighting for a shoot that day!
 Even the cold, tiredness and dampness of the ground, these four were willing to let me direct them! The thing I L.O.V.E most about this particular shoot, is the amount of effort that went into coordinating outfits, and how amazing they looked together!
Little Shelby was the belle of the shoot, as she isn't camera shy... she actually loves to be the model! The greatest words to hear as a photographer are "take my picture!" and she certainly said that a lot! It was hard to stop taking pictures of her, as she posed easily and had so much fun showing me how photogenic she is! All in all, a great day and the photos turned out fantastic.
