A Peek at the Lighter Side of a Session

There will be more photos to come from this session - there are just so many images that I love! You might recognize a few faces from my previous post, this was the second of two sessions booked by my client for her and her husband's families.

We spent most of our time laughing - this is one family that knows how to have fun!

Three Generation Family Session

My client recently arranged two sessions, one for her husband's family and the other for her own parents and siblings. The first took place last month, the other yesterday (thank goodness the weather cleared for a few hours!) What a thoughtful idea! Grandparents, adults kids and the little ones, both families were lots of fun to spend time with.

Here are a few images from the first session. Everyone had gathered from points across Canada to attend a family wedding the previous day, and the photo session was held in honour of a special birthday.

You'll soon see four of these family members appearing in another blog entry documenting yesterday's session!

I came to know this family through the clients featured in my last post (I'm grateful for all of your referrals!) The two sons are away at the same university; I'll have to ask all these empty-nester parents that I'm meeting for tips on getting ready for that first year away at school.

We got lucky with the weather for this session, having had to reschedule our first attempt due to overly hot and humid temperature a few weeks earlier. What a weird year for weather!

This family was a joy to spend time with. I love witnessing when the men treat the lone female in the family with such respect and adoration. You just know that the boys will treat the women in their futures well!

A lovely family, a lovely day -what more could you ask for?

I seem to be photographing lots of families this year with teens and young adults. This family has two sons, one in university and the younger heading there next fall. I have a soft spot for this age right now seeing as my own daughter is heading off to school next fall too. Time is flying by far too quickly!

The older offspring that I've been meeting this year (I hesitate in calling them kids!) leave me feeling very optimistic about the future. Bright, determined - and a particular pleasure to spend time with!

The photo in the top left corner is the storyboard that we created together. 20" x 20" mounted as a three dimensional Standout, it shows off a selection of favourite images from our session.
