Planning an outdoor Williams Park photo session in March is risky business. Especially when our British Columbia weather is so intensely unpredictable. Today, for example, was cloudy, sunny, drizzling, sunny, pouring, cloudy.
I’m going to say it: springtime weather in B.C. is as fickle as a PMS’ing woman.
Between cooperative sunshine poking its head into the party and adorable children doing a Conga line in the field, an Opa who will happily hold a pink purse with the hand-picked flower and an Oma who mimics her Oma, I posit that this was one perfect afternoon of sunshine and funshine and laughter and love.
Not only did we prove that everyone was all in one place on one continent at one time, but we also have proof positive that we have some not-so-newlywed lovebirds. Forty years of happily-ever-after and hearts bursting full of children, children-in-love, grandchildren, and grandchildren-in-love. I loved seeing the cousins play, the siblings laugh alongside them, and the proud grandparents relish every single moment of togetherness. Family is beautiful, is it not? Their Williams Park family photos were the knee-slapping, heart-warming, gut-laughing fun that is made perfect by just a splash of chaos and a hearty dash of love.

Photography takes me into the most amazing experiences. Some are wildly outrageous like the times I flew in a helicopter to mountainscape and remote lake or remarkably adventurous like the time I hiked to a mountaintop during my client’s honeymoon. Some are simply lovely like the time I relished in a sentimental backyard wedding day. Sometimes, though, the amazing experience…
A few years, several moves, a couple life changes, and three more smiling faces, Caleb and Kirsten’s family has become a vibrant collection of personalities, full of overflowing love and cute giggles. Running around the park in Scottsdale, Arizona, they made silly faces, pretended to drink Daddy’s coffee, squealed for more airplane rides, cuddled and…
Twelve years ago, they were a couple of students. Sharpening pencils, groaning over the inevitable pop quiz, whizzing through the whirlwind of classes and friends, lugging backpacks full of text books and notebooks and study guides. A lot happens in twelve years. Instead of school books, they’re carrying a pair of shoes. A little pair…
