“I’m just very thankful. And I say that a lot because that’s the most important message.”
I am very thankful to have to have CJ in my life- one of the first people I met when I was just a city gal who moved into the tiny town of Millbrook all those years ago. I am thankful that she gave me her trust in capturing these sweet moments of her and her family. Because let’s face it, when you’re a photographer (like CJ is), it’s not often you get to be in front of the camera. And like the season, things are always changing, her amazing kiddos are growing taller and older, and sometimes we have to slow down these moments to fully appreciate them and revel in being truly thankful! :) <3
With Canadian Thanksgiving just behind us, I think the quote above should be read over and over again. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in everything else going on in life and forget the trivial things, but most importantly, forget to really appreciate. I can tell you I am incredibly thankful for who I get the pleasure of surrounding myself with and for being allowed to photograph such beautiful moments.

“Porch: from Old French porche, from Latin porticus “colonnade”, from porta “passage””
It may have been long ago that a porch was meant to be a gateway to the house- a place to take off dirty work clothes so as to keep the house clean. Somewhere along the way it may have acted as a passage way home, where perhaps you could leave all of your worries at the door. But I adore this concept here; a place to sit, relax, and gossip. There’s nothing like kicking your feet up with your favourite people, in your coziest place, with warm smiles, and gorgeous fall colours. <3
I met Lou through friends ages ago, and there were a few things that stuck out the most when I did. She is fierce. Like a deep rooted loyalty to her closest family and friends that is hard to find now a days; a lioness if you will. She’s super genuine, and the connection she shares with her people is everything- this is something I value so, so much… and is how I knew I really liked her from the get go. And last but not least, she is a Jeep junkie… seriously, this woman knows her stuff and is super bad-ass! Meeting the rest of her fam jam was truly an honour- they are so very loving and like-minded! I had such an amazing time photographing them! We even snuck away for some romantic shots of Mom and Dad… and of course we incorporated Fiona, the Jeep ;).
Lou, thank you for trusting me with taking the first real family photos you’ve had in yeeeeaaaaaars <3
