Pumpkin Patching

My kids had their first school fieldtrip last week to Westham Island Herb Farm.  The lovely employees took us on a tour of the farm, showing us the animals, testing vegetable knowledge and providing a basic overview of farm life.  After a quick snack. we all headed out to their Pumpkin Patch in search of the perfect pumpkin to bring home and carve for Halloween!

Family Fun

We had a small shoot yesterday, casting photos for a little boy Momo's age.  Decided to take advantage of the set up and do some fun ones with Chloe in her snazzy outfit of the day...

This chick kills me with her crazy dance moves.  She is so easy to photograph with her quirky personality and abundant energy.

I let her try taking photos of me.  I wish I could show you what she looked like with the heavy camera in her tiny little hands, struggling to hold it up/straight/to her face.  This first one was awesome.  I saved her the struggle and put the camera on the tripod so she could take photos a little more easily.

She immediately assumed a very grown up and serious voice telling me "OK, one more.  Go over there.  *Click*  Ok, come look at it... "  After a few norms, she started telling and showing me what kind of silly faces to make, still in her very professional tone of voice.

I found the remote so she and I could take one together.  It was only at this point that Moses ran over from his trains/Legos to have a turn pressing the button.  Chloe, as you can see is not at all impressed with having to share this new "toy".

Bright Eyed Callum

We first met Callum and his mama Joon last December during our first year of Holiday Sessions through a mutual friend.  After a bit of a rough year, we got together for a surprise session for Dad at Centennial Beach!  With Fall in full effect, we got some great shots of this joyful little man playing in the bright coloured leaves!

After a fun romp through the crunchy leaves, we ventured toward the beach to capture a few more sweet moments of this perfect and oh-so-fashionable pair playing in the sand.

Chilling at Centennial with the Guterson-Niblett Crew

Between the numerous visits to Centennial with the kids and for these Family Beach Sessions, this stretch of sand, water, and sky has become a second home.  Though Fall has begun to show her colours and remind us of her chilling touch and moody downpours, we have seen the sun break through many of these dreary days just around dinner time.  Typical Vancouver weather...  So we waited and watched, watched and waited.  Heather and I spent 2 weeks checking the weather and texting one another trying to land the perfect sunny evening for their Family Beach Session.   WE GOT IT!  
 
Not sure which lit up this session more, the sun-drenched skies or these crazy daredevils, Carter & Miles!
