No grey skies here Courtenay Photographer
January 13, 2010 // portraits


Lily and Simon cruised into my studio with their huge smiles, warm personalities and equaly captivating parents.

Maybe it was the smiley sticker I had on my tummy the whole time, (which I didn't notice till after the shoot, because that is just how cool I am,) that made this session extra fun. Or maybe it is just the way Lily and Simon's family roll.

But, just try telling me that they are not a huge ray of sunshine (which I just found out is, appropriately, Lily's nickname).
