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 people watching in an airport is delightful (today’s highlight: the overall-and-pigtailed three-year-old who never met a stranger), the inspiration of…
Aside from everything else I love about being a photographer, wanna know my favourite part of being a wedding photographer? It’s the clients that turn into friends. Almost six years ago, Bradley & Jill entrusted me with their engagement photos in Leesburg, VA and then their wedding photos in New York State. Four-ish years ago we did an…
Dear World, Sydney is beautiful. Can’t you tell? The end. Love,Jennifer P.S. She is also a very cooperative model who has equally beautiful friends who will make their Internet debut soon!
My nieces and nephews (and their parents) have a unique advantage: ample camera practice before family portrait season even rolls around. Me? I have eleven (local) built-in models who are (slowly!) learning to ask for a photo (and then begging to see all the images). When nephew Isaiah had a birthday bonfire in the rain, what else was…
“ONE year. 365 days. a lot of hours. a lot of minutes.” I’ve known they were cool for a year now. Jacob and Ashleigh had a paint fight in my backyard and that is the epitome of cool. But now. “ONE year. 365 days. a lot of hours. a lot of minutes.” They’ve been dating…
