I had  an affinity for the Nesling clan before I photographed them - now it is even stronger. 

The Neslings are half of the foursome that run Zen Zero Juice Fountain and Vegan Restaurant on 5th Street. Their smoothies are a regular go-to item for those busy days where I know I am needing a healthy lunch hit - and their broccoli salad is in my top-ten list of fave Comox Valley food items. However, as well as running their restaurant they are also busy running their busy home with three young children. 
I feel a special bond with couples who run businesses and run a household full of children. 

I was really looking forward to this session - to be honesty - mostly because I wanted to get to know Davinder and Marussia better and see them in action with their parent hat on. What I saw was two people who clearly have a vision for their family - one of playfulness, love and creativity. Their three, very different children, broke my heart with their sweetness and tenderness and made me laugh out loud with their child like ways. 

This is truly a family in motion and in love. 

Thank you for letting me witness it with my camera. 

Oh - did I mention they are all stunning!
