Typically I work Saturday's but am typically firm about Sunday being time with family. And yes, sometimes I take a whole weekend off. This long weekend I photographed Thursday night, Friday and Monday, but Saturday and Sunday were chill time - that count's as a weekend off doesn't it?
I started the fabulous long weekend with the Hughes Family. When I think off this session I just smile - as that is what we did the whole time. Mom Michelle, who you might recognize from Comox Valley Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (she is kind-of famous for being awesome at what she does,) has been talking about a session with me for years, and I find a great satisfaction in finally capturing someone's family who has meant to do so for years. The children, right now, are at an ideal age to photograph, they are funny, their own person, and still very cuddly with mom and dad. I have family photos of me at that age and I truly treasure them.
My favourite moment in this session was when I was just photographing the kids and I was setting up and asked them to come together and they moved right into a hug together - so sweet and loving.
This session was the ideal session to kick off a fabulous long weekend ... Such a loving and connected family.
more from the weekend soon......
