It was a gorgeous November day. I was a little giddy that it was THIS gorgeous and happy to take advantage and take some photos for a really really great family with a really really great reason to celebrate.
Bill and Caroline celebrated their 30th anniversary this past summer and the kids bought them a photography session. 
One of their daughters I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know over the last number of years and they have a son who is Noah’s age. Josh and Noah are little buddies. We made Noah jokes the entire session to keep Josh entertained. My favorite: “Noah lives in a frying pan” and then hysterical giggles. The hilarious part was that I told Noah about it and he ‘got’ it right away. Oh, the precious minds of 4-year-old children!
Some of my favorites from this session are the ‘inbetween’ moments. Like all the photos with bubbles and the family just hanging out. It just happened while I was taking individual photos, I turned around and saw everyone playing and enjoying the moment.
Let’s just mention for a minute the wardrobe selection. It is perfect and photographs so well. Take note peeps! Plenty of color, texture, layers and pattern. Blown away. Well done, Dehaas family!
Last photo on this blog post is my fave for sure, but there were LOTS of good ones!

Andrea and I are part of a photographer group of ladies that get together every month or two. How I treasure the photog get-togethers and I love (and I am slightly amused) that we talk photography about 10% of the time and the rest is life, family, faith and friendship.
So Andrea is this fabulous and talented photographer and no doubt about it, I was nervous to take their family photos. But with 3 active boys, nervous lasts about 5 seconds. So we just hung out and played.

I love this family for bush whacking in the reeds and marshlands. Climbing fences. Running through crazy tall grass. I love exploring with kids and families.

I love this family! When we moved to Aldergrove, Oliver and Sara were one of the only families we knew at church… I should say that I knew them. Oliver, Sara and I were classmates throughout high school. And Sara and I through elementary school. Now we hang out on a regular basis. Always a good time.
It’s really my favorite thing to take photos of people I already know.

I sent Sara the ‘what to wear’ email and she immediately freaked out went shopping. All I can say is GOOD JOB!

We’ve talked a while now about taking these photos. A year or two? But with Jaimee officially planning a move overseas and airplane tickets booked, it was time to make it happen.
There was some waffling on whether or not to have the horses in the photos, but c’mon! this is a family that loves their horses. I’m so glad that it worked out.
Hermen is not only the horse whisperer but also the dog whisperer. Bessie was incredibly co-operative and posed like no other dog I’ve seen. Not that I’ve photographed that many dogs, but usually after the first couple photos they are done.
I think this is my favorite family photo from their family session because it is exactly how I picture them. And it was one of the first photos from the session.
*heart* this photo
But there are many more good ones… like these of Hermen and Stephanie… so perfect!

You see that black and white photo? They are laughing at me. I’m holding the horses while photographing the family and I’m desperately hoping that nothing will spook the horses.

I also really really love this photo. So casual. I can see it printed big…

We had some really pretty light. That sunshine makes my day.

I always love a family silhouette.

So I’m officially in love with photographing horses and families. So much fun!

Planning photo sessions are never easy. Every year I’m reminded when we have our own family photos taken, how much time and effort are expended on something that appears relatively easy. Particularly coming up with the right outfits. I spent at least 3 days shopping and still ended up just wearing my original, found-it-in-my-wardrobe outfit. And the decision between my-kids-are-best-in-the-morning and the-evening-light-is-wonderful is a bit of a toss up. But when it all comes together, it IS so worth it.
And Alicia rocked the outfits! Love the bright colors. When in doubt, go bright!!!

Alyssa is a super fun and talented fellow photog and a friend of mine. She took our beautiful family photos a couple of weeks ago at the pumpkin patch in Everson and then came up to Aldergrove to have her family photos taken by me. Always a good time. And I think we’ve started a tradition. Ja?
Alyssa had this great idea to make a Merry Christmas sign. Perfect for a holiday card. Wish I thought of it myself.
I had to laugh at Alyssa’s expectation for her family’s performance. Basically, she said she would be happy if the family was all in one photo. Didn’t really matter what they were doing. LOL! Who CAN’T relate to that?

This family is full of fun, love and laughter and a little bit of craziness. Their trips to visit family and friends in the Fraser Valley are a whirlwind of activity. I’m so happy that they were able to find the time to have photos taken!

I just adore everything about this photo. Kate’s eyes squeezed tight as she hugs her baby sister. Aleiah’s smile. Asher’s Grade 1 cool dude.

Kevin and Jacoba. High school sweethearts. I’ve known Jacoba since she (and Ryan) stole toys out of my sandbox when we were just little girls. Then my family moved to her town and her school and we became friends. We often visited each others houses on Sundays. I remember playing dress up and eating melted cheese buns with chips at her house. And I think her favorite part of visiting my house was the piece of chocolate my mom would give us just before heading to church. High school was high school and in grade 10 along came this boy named Kevin.
Kevin and I share a birthday, so he’s alright.
I could go on about all the connections we share and the good times we had. But ultimately, this family is fabulous and it was so nice to photograph them.

Braeden and Tami are doing the long distance relationship thing. So it was important to get the photos in the small window of opportunity we had. I could scarcely believe my eyes when the sun came out to play. The sun just makes everything better!
You guys are so sweet together. Enjoy your photos!

Oh this wedding was something of a photographer’s dream. Getting ready in an Edwardian heritage home with beautiful vintage finishes and antique pieces. Large windows throughout the house allowed the natural light to stream inside. I’m a sucker for light. It’s all I care about. Almost.
The sweetest bride you’ll ever meet. And gorgeous. And the very dapper groom. The bride and groom have impeccable taste and it just made for a LOT of fun eye candy to photograph. Check out their camper / bar… available for rent for events. The grounds of the Kirkland House are also stunning.
Anyway! It’s a long post but you get a real sense of their day! Thanks for looking!
