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.

The only photo that you really need to see from this snowy photo session is this first one: if this isn’t the most magical snowy portrait you’ve ever seen, I want to know what could possibly be better! 😉 Nadia and Connor were married this summer on one of the hottest days we had here in…

Sunshine flitted around the park, laughing at the dancing leaves. She darted from shadow to shadow, leaving happiness and cheery brightness in her wake. Oh, and the squirrels. She was mesmerized by the furry-tailed squirrels. Sunshine isn’t just the unexpected airy golden nectar of a British Columbia October, she’s also the energetic, furry taled, perfectly-behaved…
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…
The rain, the threatening thunderstorms, and the humidity tried to put a damper on our day – literally and figuratively – but it couldn’t. Oh…no….never. Not when its time to celebrate such a beautiful, pivotal, exciting season. And especially not when Todd and Marcela are counting down the days until they can meet their Jacob….
