{Maternity} Justin & Racheal

Racheal is my husband's cousin and at a family gathering on Canada Day last year, she was already mentioning that when they started their family, she wanted me to do pictures. If my math is correct, she may have already been pregnant then and either didn't know herself, or had just found out. Very exciting!

I was so happy we hit a sunny Spring day and got to talk pregnancy, birth and all those fun things! They did not find out what they were having, deciding to be surprised at the baby's birth. When she picked the DVD of pictures up from me, some of the things she was telling me led us to believe it was going to be in the next few days and sure enough it was! But I will share all the newborn pictures and details in an upcoming post.

For now, enjoy this beautiful couple as they waited for their first baby!

{Extended Family} Jim & Linda

Hi, remember me? I know...it's been a long time and I have a ton of sessions to update here, but one at a time starting with this great family! You will probably recognize Steve & Cynthia and their kids as this is their fifth time on my blog, but this time it is with Steve's whole family.

We met at Campbell Valley Park, one fresh day, and it was a touch chilly especially for the youngest, Scott, and for Jim who was still recovering from a bad cold/flu. We did the pictures by the barns and then took a little break for warming up before heading into the tall grass field.

I had a great time with this family and found it especially neat to have three generations and seeing just how much Gavin, Steve and Jim look alike!

Thanks for meeting with me and braving the fresh air!
