I worked with Clarke for quite a few years, and one Christmas party as I started talking to his wife Kim we realized we both had a love for photography. We hit it off and have been friends every since. Kim was much further into her photography journey than I was, and she has been a great mentor to me and taught me so much in the process. I have never been able to thank Kim enough for her willingness to teach me and share her wealth of knowledge, plus she also took some gorgeous pics for me during my last pregnancy and of baby #2.I was so happy when I had the chance to repay some of her kindess and generosity by doing a family session for Kim and her family.
Kim wanted an urban setting for their images, so we had lots of fun tromping around some not so glamorous places in downton Abbotsford (and let me tell you, I’m glad Clarke is a big tough guy, cuz there’s no way I would’ve ventured there without someone like him along to watch our backs!).
So here are more than a few of my favorites…I had such a hard time narrowing them down!

Their girls are not only beautiful, but so much fun too. Nicole (the middle daughter) was being super goofy and quickly got the other two into the act as well…I loved it!

It’s so much fun playing with shadows:

I’m thinking she was whispering some spicy little nothings…apparently Clarke was liking what he was hearing

And finding a shopping cart at my favorite blue wall? So perfect, and they were totally game:

Clarke is more than a little outnumbered in his household…their way of telling him how much they appreciate him putting up with all the girly stuff!



I couldn’t resist this picture…love how just seeing it makes me feel happy!






And I know I’ve shared a ton of pictures from this shoot, but I just have to share this one, one of my faves of the three girls, aka Charlie’s Angels
