another “theme” in my sessions lately has been some pretty sweet older siblings.  the nurturing, tender, “make sure you take plenty of pictures of me too” kind.  i love it.

this lovely family is busy these days merging the worlds of blue & pink, of trains & flowers.  some might think those things would clash, but it looks to me like they fit just perfectly.

so here they are again.  and they’re just as “not photogenic” as they were in their maternity pictures (queue me rolling my eyes).

there’s something about seeing friends become parents that’s just really cool.  their whole countenance changes…the way they look, the way they talk, the way they smile…it’s all new.  all because of this crazy little bundle of life that makes their world complete and turns it upside down all at the same time.  and those of us who are parents look on with knowing grins which hold a little “you had no idea, did you?” …and a lot of pride.

the bradleys: family

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

it seems like i go in spurts of session “themes”…for awhile it’s weddings, then babies, etc, etc.  this week it was one year olds.  and i like to think that i’ve got a handle on one year olds, since i have one of my own.  but my goodness, each one is so different!  one thing that’s always the same, though, is that they move.  whether they’re happy or sad, bold or shy, they are always. moving.

talk about a gorgeous family.  we met on the family farm and had a great time chasing down the little dude who is only just learning how to walk, but already has some serious speed!

the estivernes: family

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

this one was hard to crack.  she didn’t fall for any of the little tricks i keep up my sleeves.  she wouldn’t smile…until she smiled and then it was unstoppable.

bethany wasn’t super keen on having her picture taken and i think she thought if she hid her face that i would stop snapping.  she was wrong 🙂

she didn’t like to say good-bye, so we just said “see you later”…which i sure hope is the case!

the kasteleins: family

Friday, September 30th, 2011

this is the kind of session some people might have rescheduled.  they really wanted to do pictures outside and it was definitely looking like rain.  the sky was dark, clouds were heavy…and mom had been waiting for a good family picture for 20 years.  but these guys were tough.  hardcore. a little rain wasn’t going to scare them.  so i put on my husband’s rain jacket and set out with my fingers crossed.

this beauty is the baby of the family and just left home for the UK for six months.  she was the reason we rushed to fit these in, in spite of the crappy weather. side note: could these girls get anymore gorgeous?

and you might recognize these two lovelies on the right from their wedding last month.  marriage looks good on them.

and so it was.  a perfectly rainless session.  “what’s with the water all over erin’s shoulders”, you ask? oh, i should have said “rainless until the last five minutes when we were walking back to the house and the heavens opened up and dumped a month’s worth of condensation only to stop the moment we got inside”.  love living in bc!!!

the richmonds: family

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

this family was a dream.  hilarious? check. laid back? check. incredibly good looking? check.

you can always count on a memorable response when you tell the kids their parents are kissing.

so much fun, you guys!!  according to sidsel, they had fun too (and i quote): “Just had family photo shoot with Sharalee Prang. It wasn’t as embarassing as i thought it would be.”  love it.

they sat down once.  or maybe twice.  and that was it.  we realized quickly there was no point in leashing the energy.  i got my workout and they got some cute action shots 🙂

toews family

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

this session had been bought as a christmas gift last year so it was nice to finally get to meet everyone!  i did baby pictures for ben & carly’s little man when he was brand new…it’s hard to believe that was over a year ago already.

when margaret and i were trying to decide if we should meet at a park or something she suggested their farm and i’m so glad she did!  what a beautiful spot and everyone was so comfortable there.

what’s better than a fun uncle?  not much, i tell ya.

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

as i mentioned in my last post, marriage is on my mind. so what better time to highlight this lovely family who are all together celebrating lionel & lucille’s 50th anniversary.  curious as to what 50 years looks like?

pretty darn cute, if i do say so myself.

so cute, in fact, lucille just couldn’t seem to get enough 🙂
