Hope you’re all enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Here’s a session with Vickie and Bryan, along with the ever camera-friendly Sarah and their newest addition to the family – baby Evan.  Much like on Vickie and Bryan’s wedding day, Sarah nearly stole the show again, prancing around the park, cute as a button. That said, we did manage to get a couple of her little brother, and mom and dad too. It was great connecting with them again on a beautiful evening at St-Vital Park – I really loved the warmth in some of these pictures:

It was a fateful decision when Jacq and Will decided to book me for their wedding wayyy back in 2005. Since then, I got them both into frisbee, they got me into hockey, and we’ve become good friends with lots of good memories.  Here’s a handful from a session I did with Jacq and her family toward the end of the summer (you’ll rarely see me in front of a camera, but I gave in this one time so that the two Will’s could bookend Jacq). I’m going to miss seeing Ethan and Emmett on the sidelines of games!

It’s been two years since Kathy and Jay were married and they have since moved into a great new house and filled it with a beautiful new little daughter Ziya.  We went for a leisurely stroll through John Bruce Park and were blessed with some wonderful summer evening light.  Cute as a button, Ziya was putting her little legs to work, while Jay and Kathy ran after her and I ran after everybody.  Some faves from the session:

This is the fourth installment of a four-part series documenting little Jasper’s first year in the world.  True to form, he was pretty shy and sober at first, but this time he didn’t spend too much time worrying about the guy with the camera.  Jasper had already started walking the last time I saw him, and was now his own little independent and busy explorer.  He had a grand old time running on the play structure, taste-testing the gravel, and splashing through the puddle.  Not fully a master of movement on two legs, our stay at the playground was unfortunately cut short when Jasper had a little tumble on the hardtop.  But thankfully it didn’t seem to put much of a damper on his mood and before long, he was merrily exploring again.

I’m looking forward to putting together the album showing Jasper’s growth through year #1.  In the meantime, some faves from this particular session:

Once again I had the privilege of working with Tara, Karl, and little Hannah – who was now the ripe old age of three.  From her love of Rapunzel, to her own flowing locks, to her little rabbit, to the stylish little sandals – Hannah is clearly enjoying her stage of life as a little princess.  Always vibrant and full of smiles and affection, she had no trouble working her magic in the studio and then merrily trotted around the Exchange as we wandered about snapping more photos.  Great seeing you three again and always a pleasure!  A handful from the session:
