It was such a treat to do this session with Patti, Keith and Max. Patti and I had been corresponding for months via email while we tried to nail down a date that worked for all of our busy schedules. We finally were able to squeeze in their session just a few days before they moved from North Vancouver to Kelowna…fortunately we had perfect weather with beautiful evening light and we had a lot of fun at some great locations.

These three were such a fabulous family, I truly enjoyed seeing how they interact together. The love just radiates between the three of them and made me feel all warm and gushy inside just to see it. Max is positively adorable at almost five and so much fun, and I think that Keith and Patti are officially some of the nicest people I’ve met.

Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

Some “eskimo kisses” with mom:

This is cropped at 10×20…I love this size!

I always call eyes like this melted chocolate..aren’t they gorgeous? Makes me a teensy weensy bit sad I’ll probably never have a brown eyed baby, but so glad I get to see them up close like this. Love the bit of spunky personality that comes through in this shot

These three were just so much fun, Patti and I were cracking up at the silly boys eating grass!

These two are just so sweet together! (and ps, isn’t Patti’s skirt amazing??)

Max starting doing some shadow dances…and it didn’t take much for mom and dad to join in

He looks pretty sweet and innocent here, doesn’t he? Give him a few minutes…

…and before you know it you get some fun and silliness too:

Trying out the wink, it’s tough you know, although I think Max has it pretty much mastered:

And one more, because this one cracks me up too!:

Patti…I’ll be in touch soon with your slideshow and proofing gallery. I hope your move went smoothly and that you’re settling into your new home in Kelowna
