{Family} Chris & Myrna

About a month ago, I had the privilege of taking photos for my cousin and her family at Williams Park. They are from Alberta, and when their eldest had a school field trip at Williams Park, they felt the area was so unique compared to 'home,' that they chose it for their family session. And beautiful it was, on a mild summer evening.

After the session, I was away on holidays, then they were away on holidays, but finally this morning I was able to drop off their photos, so I'm glad to finally be able to post these pictures here. They are an incredibly photogenic family, super laid back and just so much fun. Thanks for suggesting a fantastic location and making such an enjoyable evening for me!

{See what I mean about the eyes?}

{Family} Brian, Verena & Zoya

Last month, my family and I had the privilege of being visited by my sister-in-law and her family. We had a wonderful camping holiday together and then a few days back at home too. While I took lots of pictures of our time together, I had the distinct privilege of convincing them to do a super mini photo session in one very limited location. They agreed (much to my delight) and here are the results. Admittedly, I did snap a couple pictures of our own daughter and the two eldest cousins together (Zoya is our kids' only cousin, so it was special to get the two of them together).





{Could these two be any cuter?}




{There's always time to be silly!}








{Love each of their expressions in this one}

{Portraiture} Stefanie & Axl

This was a fabulously enjoyable session. Stef and I used to work together several years ago and even lived together for a while when my husband and I were dating. Lots of good times together, that's for sure - dare I say we were a bit of a trouble-making pair at work? No, I probably shouldn't say that.

She chose to meet at Derby Reach, which I loved since it's a beautiful area and has perfect evening light. The other things I loved about this session were that I had no time restraints (a bit of a rarity), was photographing just one person, that said person was not Caucasian, and I got to photograph her dog, Axl, too.

I loved doing this session and I would say that it has been my best one to date in terms of it turning out how I wanted it to. Stef, I hope you like these as much as I do - thanks for letting me photograph you!





















{I didn't notice this until I was editing, but the print on the bottom of Stef's shoes looks like dog bones...pretty fitting!}




{I'm pretty sure Stef has told me before that Axl is part wolf. If that's not true, he sure looks like he is!}


{Stef has the best laugh}

{sneak peak} Stefanie & Axl

I've been on holidays since my last two photo sessions, but now I've caught up with my editing and have both sets ready. Stefanie will be receiving the photos from her with her dog, Axl, today but I wanted to put up a little teaser shot for her to see, and for you to want to come back and see the rest.
