We have had such an incredible fall here in Ottawa this year – warm sunny days that continue right into the evening. With the warm weather, we’ve also been blessed with some gorgeous sunsets.  It has been the perfect time to update family portraits – just like the M family did!  This is just part one of their session with me.  They are diligent with booking their yearly family session, but this time we also added some extended family members – which will be in part two!

This session was pretty special for me to photograph.  As the highest bidders on a custom family photo session at the Do It For Daron Hockey Tournament, run by the Nepean Girls Hockey Association, the H Family were the lucky winners of a session in the season of their choice.  On top of their generous bid, I was also excited to see them as the winning family, as our daughters have all played hockey together!  

Mom loves the fall, so we set a date in September…only to have soaring temperatures and green trees.  Oh well.  Best laid plans.  Despite the summer like heat and sun, we had a great time in the trails capturing their amazing family.

This mom and kids family session has been a long time in the making!  But with daughter H’s imminent departure for her first year of university, we knew we had to make it happen and fast!

Mom’s always notice the passage of time – it goes by quickly – so I’m glad we had a chance to celebrate the three of them just before the nest empties.  We often prioritize photos when they are younger, but this stage is just as important.  They are on the cusp of adulthood and the days of living all together, changes.  These memories are incredibly special and I’m honoured to have preserved this time for them.
