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.

My senior photos were the opposite of personalized. I went to a Wal-Mart photo studio where a grumpy lady told me how to sit, where to look, how to position my chin…all with the goal that my photos would look exactly like every other portrait session ever to come through Wal-Mart’s studio. Too bad I’m…
With a grace few could hope to achieve, Catherine stepped into a wobbly rowboat and settled herself with poise and class. She exuded elegance, even in the adventurous atmosphere that comes when weaving with the current in a rowboat on an ocean bay. Before summer had officially arrived, she had surrendered her white jacket to…
My Dad did it (Atlantic to Pacific!). My cousin’s doing it (Pacific Ocean to Lake Michigan). I can’t bike the whole trek (I did think about trying, though!), so I will do my part right here at home. #cabinsforkids is the fund raising, friend-raising, community-building initiative by New Hope Uganda’s Musana Camp. By biking the…
“Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect.” Margaret Mitchell said it so much better than I ever could, and isn’t it true? On the morning of the long-anticipated fall family photo session, one child evidenced every ounce of stubbornness in those little bones while the other child grinned like nobody’s business….
If you’ve ever thought about booking a photo session but stalled because you don’t know what to wear for pictures, this post is for you. In my ten years of portrait photography, deciding what to wear is the hardest part but also the most integral to portrait session success. While I’m always a fan…
It’s been three years now, as hard as it is to believe. (Over three years since someone is so tardy on blogging!) Three years of life and all the changes that go along with it. Three years that they’ve spent navigating rush hour in DC, decorating their first home in the suburbs, establishing routines filled…
