I have been looking forward to tonight’s session all summer!

Back in May, I blogged about the Drury family and their daughter Kate – who is going through numerous medical struggles. At almost 3 years old, she is profoundly deaf – but I have to say, she is one of the sweetest little girls! And she is lucky enough to have one of the most caring older brothers!

Let me tell you – it didn’t take Kate long to figure me out! She was on to me and would position herself so that she had her back to me!! But I love a challenge – and I think we got some beautiful shots tonight at Westboro Beach. It was great to see you all again Drury family! Here’s a sneak peek:

I can’t believe that last night’s field session was the last one for this summer. But what a fantastic session it was! These guys made it so easy and I am thoroughly looking forward to offering these sessions again next summer!! Here’s a sneak peek:

So, as a mother of two boys myself – I get it.

Alright, I admit it – I don’t really understand the obsession that little boys have with vehicles, but I’ve come to accept it and expect it!

Tonight’s field session was with one of my favorite families. I’ve had the opportunity to watch their family grow over the last couple of years, and always look forward to meeting up with them. I am so excited for them as they are expecting again and I wish them all the best!! Here’s a sneak peek:

Growing up, we moved around frequently.

I was nervous that first day of Grade 3.

And I don’t remember the exact moment we met – but a shy, blue eyed, blonde haired little girl befriended me – this brown eyed, brown haired, chubby little girl! We lived down the street from each other for 4 years and oh the fun we had. The sleep overs, the Disney movies, the candy, the “boyfriends”, the dreams and the fears – we shared it all. Of course, over time and the fact that I moved away to BC, separated us and our lives went in different directions. She was always in the back of my mind and I often wondered what had become of her life. We stayed in touch off and on throughout the years, and because of Facebook, we have recently been able to keep in touch more often.

I am so proud of “Mandy” – I’m allowed to call her that still – and everything she has accomplished. She is a wonderful mother, a beautiful wife and a talented chef and I was honored to get the opportunity to photograph them all on their 10th wedding anniversary tonight. I wish you nothing but the best and look forward to many more years of friendship! Here’s a sneak peek from their field session:

I have to admit, I was a bit anxious about tonight’s field session. When the kids out number the parents, you just never know the way the session is going to go! But I gotta tell ya – this family had it going on!! These were some of the best behaved kids I’ve had the chance to photograph! I hope they all got a big helping of ice cream! Here’s a sneak peek:
