We did our first family trip to Disneyland in 2016. A few weeks before we left, I saw an image someone had taken at Disneyland, and knew that I needed to hire a documentary photographer for our next trip, whenever that was. I wanted to enjoy the day with my kids, not worrying about taking photos myself, and I wanted to be present, I wanted to be IN the photos for once…
Ahh home births. There’s just something so cozy and calm about them. It’s incredible to be a part of something so powerful, every single time. This was their FOURTH little baby, third girl (and third home birth)! They were incredibly excited to meet their little one, and mom waited oh so patiently. Mom was in early labour for quite a while, and I was on high alert for their birth…
Stacie and I met online (how else does one meet new friends these days?!). I’ve always loved her photos, she’s uber talented. I was so excited when she was pregnant with baby #3 and emailed me to ask about newborn photos and a short film. I always feel so honoured with I am hired by fellow photographers. We decided on a partial trade for some family photos…
So basically our entire month of December revolved around our road trip down to Disneyland with some extended family. I apologize in advance the the amount of photos in this one…I’m sure it breaks some sort of blogging etiquette rules. Let’s just say it makes up for the months…
I LOVE family films. They are magic. Video brings LIFE to these memories. I love looking back at my own family films. They make me cry every time. My kids grow like weeds. Hearing their little voices. The things that seem like they will stay forever, but you wake up one day and they don’t mispronounce words the same way or do that cute little…
I’m not perfect. I definitely have not been taking a photo every single day this month 😬 . I didn’t even have enough ‘make up’ days to fill in the gaps. It’s been super gloomy, rainy and cold and we just have not been getting out a lot other than errands and regular activities. We got out a bit at the beginning of the month, and took a fun little adventure out to White Rock. We also decorated for Christmas on Remembrance Day long weekend. We will away for part of December so wanted to enjoy the cozy…
I think each month of the year just gets faster and faster. Well especially when the kids are in school! October was such a great month, the weather was gorgeous almost the whole month (if you don’t live in the Pacific Northwest, you know that is RARE, it’s usually non-stop rain). I turned 32 this month on the 1st, and had an uneventful birthday…
Lexie contacted me after winning a gift certificate from me from a silent auction fundraiser at her kids’ school. She told me all about their farm full of animals and her sweet family, and it sounded like a dream session! We had to reschedule a few times, so I was excited to be able to finally get to go over and meet them and it was such a gorgeous fall day…
