Kim is a fellow photographer who has photographed my family and become a friend over the years. It was a dream to spend a morning with her family as they recently welcomed a new little guy into their lives.
This is a long set to share… I just couldn’t narrow it down.
I travelled north to Meaghan’s family farm to spend an afternoon with her and her boys. This was my third time photographing them and it was so good to catch up while exploring such a magical place. Meaghan is stunning, inside and out, and I’m so glad she trusted me to capture this time for her.
A friend recently posted on Facebook "a call to the universe" for a few of things she would like to attract into her work-life, and it got me to thinking about my own work and what the next little while would have in store. I took the summer off this year to spend it with my girls and I honestly was not prepared AT ALL when September hit and we had to go back to reality this past Tuesday. I sheepishly responded to emails and apologized for delays.
I had prepared this blog post back in March but never hit the post-button. I have no idea why. Was I feeling nervous or insecure? Probably. Either way, something held me back. But the truth is that I really enjoyed this session and I should have shared it back in March! Along with so many other sessions that I have loved. And I'd like more of these in my life. So here's my call to the universe as I get my work-life back in to order this week. I'd really love to book more maternity and newborn sessions this fall and winter – cozy, cuddly, casual, easy, no-fuss, lots of love, forget the stress, be in the moment – type of sessions. There it is, out there for the universe.
I'm going back to the summer with this one, which has me thinking of hazy warm days and a late-setting sun. The clouds were coming and going so we rolled with it and made the most of the moving light. This family let me slip into their space and didn't try to change anything or be something they're not, which in my mind made it totally perfect.
A favourite session from the summer. Completed just as the drops began to fall.
