The weather was just perfect for a sunny late afternoon session with one of my favourite families.  Its not often we see them outside of the hockey arena but they were all dressed and ready for whatever I had in mind for them.  When we first discussed a session, I TOTALLY wanted to take them to an arena and do their session on the ice.  I mean, really … it just makes sense.  I envisioned an arena ice surface, a beautiful settee at centre ice with the hockey net and scoreboard in the background.  Who wouldn’t love that hanging in their living room?

Clearly, this wasn’t going to happen because 1) no ice in town would be likely to let me do a session there on the ice and 2) its just too stinkin’ cold to do a whole session in there, and if I were being honest … I don’t have a beautiful settee.  *yet*

So we picked the date (months ago) and kept our fingers crossed that hockey would not interfere.  And all went according to plan.

Kate … always beautiful, Noah … quite the ladies man,  mom and dad *have I mentioned that I love these guys* managed to get through their family session with lots of smiles, silly faces and tickling.

A few to share …

And it just wouldn’t be right to photograph THIS particular family without at least SOME type of hockey themed picture.  Right? I mean … I thought it was funny.

Thank you once again, for picking MOI to photograph your family 

And I can not WAIT to come over and see them up on your walls.

Love my neighbours.

They are my all time favorite neighbours.  I mean, I’ve really quite enjoyed all my past neighbours to some extent but the Gauthiers … they’re just my faves.

So I jumped at the chance to get a few images of their oldest Chris and his lovely Girly friend Amelia.  And their friend Tyler as they were leaving for grad ceremony.

I had a great time meeting Joshua and Janessa (hope I spelled both of your names properly, I hate when people botch up my name, which is VERY easy to do with a last name like Wrigglesworth)

Janessa is very outgoing and didn’t mind having her picture taken in the least

Joshua … dare I say that he was doing it for his mom

Regardless, they are both stunning … and GRADUATES!

Who knew we would still be fighting snow and wind at the beginning of April!  I sure didn’t.  We had our session booked in March but just kept having to push the dates due to snow and rain.  SO I was more than happy when we finally had some nice weather last weekend.

I had the pleasure to meet little Peyton.

The first thing I noticed about her (aside from her absolutely charming outfit . . . that would go perfectly with a mini version of my coach bag) was her eyes!  I knew they were stunning in person but when I had the opportunity to come home and upload her photos, what struck me the most was the glass-like reflection in her eyes!  I actually had to be careful in photoshop NOT to edit her eyes because on their own, they were so reflective.

Just gorgeous.

So here are a few from last weekend.  Hope you enjoy.

The family

Just love this one of mom and Peyton.

Look at those eyes!

Had a great time tonight shooting a fabulous family.   I’ve just started on the individual shots but I can’t wait to get going on the family images. You’ll see more of those ones in the gallery.  Hope you enjoy the peek.

UGHHH, I hate sharing my favorite picture of a session.  But there is this part inside me.  The part that can’t wait to open Christmas gifts before the big day, which leaves me very happy at the START of December but kinda blah during all the hoopla of opening gifts.

Where was I?  Oh yes, I don’t like to share my favorite picture of a session because then when you show the gallery, its possible that the family will be let down.  Do you know what I’m saying?  Like, if I show my best, or in my eyes, my favorite, then it can only go down from there.

Anyways, I just wanted to share this one anyways….. because really……the ones that I like the best, aren’t usually the same as the ones the client likes the best.

So this is my last share of the session

Hopefully I’ll have a full gallery up in a day or so.

Yes, still struggling my way through my new blog format and its DRIVING ME SILLY!!!!  So, I’m sure no one will link to this but just in case I wanted to share one from tonights family session.

So Joanne if you do stumble across this, well, then I guess that you’ll see it
