The family's growing and the Mama is glowing!

I always enjoy meeting up with repeat clients, and this shoot was no exception! I met up with the C. family at Hatley Castle to update their family photos! This darling family of three will soon be four, and nobody pulls off pregnancy like radiant Mama "R". Little "E" was a joy and so happy to play nearby while she waited to be in some photos. She even crashed a couple of photos!  It was a very chilly shoot, complete with snow on the ground, but they were all troopers and smiled through the whole experience.  Congratulations on your upcoming baby, I can't wait to meet him/her!

A fabulous Christmas present

I had originally scheduled a newborn shoot with baby "N" and his family on a date when he was still comfy-cozy inside his mama, and had to reschedule. He was fashionably late coming, but early enough that they were able to have him home for Christmas! What a wonderful gift that must have been! "N" was 6 days old on the day of our shoot, and as cute as a button!  Big brother "E" stayed awake long enough for a couple of shots with his new baby brother, and then he napped away the rest of our shoot, leaving lots of leisure time for baby "N"- who eventually took his own nap!  Thank you for inviting me to document such a special time in your lives "J" and P", it really was a pleasure to meet your family!

 

 

 

 

 

Quick, who's got a good joke?

What a chilly morning it was when I met up with the "S" family! We haven't yet had a snowfall in Victoria, but this was about as close as we've come.  The frost was still thick on the ground when we met up for our shoot, but their family was super accommodating! The boys and their dad were a hoot, and took turns telling jokes which cracked everyone up! The boys were seriously outdone by their dad who seemed to have an arsenal of jokes waiting to be told. All of the laughing sure helped keep off the chill!  It was a great morning, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Thanks for braving the weather to meet with me, it was a lot of fun!

Bring out the big guns

As wonderful as it is to meet with new clients, I'm always very happy to meet up with past clients!  I was so excited to meet up with the "V" family at Ft. Rodd Hill. When last we met, they were a family of 5, with #6 on the way, and during this shoot I had the opportunity to meet their sweet new little girl! All four kids were great sports about our many stops along the way as we walked through the park, and the weather even held out for us! It was great to see you all again, and I hope your holidays are simply wonderful!
