Maternity Love:: Michelle, her mom and sister

I was happy and excited when Michelle contact me about her pregnancy, expecting her first bundle in July.  We use to work together when we were in our late teens, oh yeah, sometime 13 years ago!  The last time we bumped into each other when my friend got married in 2010.  It's crazy how much time has past and how we have all grown and are having children.  Michelle and Ryan have decided to keep the sex of the baby until the day of birth.  It amazes me that couples can keep that suspense, for sure next time I THINK I might want to keep it a surprise!

Congratulations hon, so happy for this new chapter in your life!  You look stunning! And perfect photo location!
I loved that she brought her mother, sister and her precious dog, Farley (in later pictures)

                                                   So sweet, laughter between the girls!
                                                               LOVE this ONE!!! Sigh...

                                                          I love the lighting, shot at 6/6:30pm.
                                                                         Mother + Daughter
                                                      Sisterly Love minus one in West Coast
                                         Oh how beautiful is this expecting mom and cherry blossom?
 Thank you so much for asking me to take your bump!  I wish I could be there to photograph your...baby BOY!  Yes, she had a boy, congratulations!!!

Farm fields, silos and a family holiday session

I always look forward to my drive home to Canada (aside from the length in drive time) I remember how much I miss the type of vegetation I'm use to growing up; flat, farm lands, dirt roads, farm houses far apart, barns, silos, cows.... For me it brings me to my childhood memories...how much fun those times were and peaceful it was for a child growing in a small town.  I knew I always wanted to live in big cities, both city and town feel like home to me.

During my short stay, I had the honor to photograph Leann's family and her extended family including her mom, sister, brothers, niece and nephew.  This was my first large family session and I was up for the challenge.  We had planned on an outdoor session, of course we can never control the weather, it rained the whole entire Sunday...poo-eeee! 

Here are some of my favorites from our session!  Enjoy and thank you Leann!

Ahhhh farm fields...


Meet Leann, her hubby and sweet girls.

 
Little Miss A's made my heart melt...she's too cute!

 
 Her niece and nephew...her mothers house were we did our photo shoot was GIGANTIC indoor and outdoor!
 
 
Cousins
 
The whole family
 
Near the end the kids needed some fuel, so we decided to head to the kitchen for some family time around the table.  My favorite candid moments!


 

Mother and daughter being silly...

Grandma and the youngest grandchild, Miss A. 

We were able to get some photographs outdoor on their porch...oh how I wish it didn't rain all day...
 
The handsome men.

The pretty ladies :)
