The picture below is of my uncle David - my mom's youngest brother - I remember my mom taking it. Uncle David couldn't have been much older than 20 and was soon heading to Alberta for work. The scary thing about coming across this image today is that just two weeks ago, uncle David celebrated his 50th birthday! 
 
While I'm glad mom thought to take this picture - there's an image I would love to have but was never taken. I remember being a kid and bugging my uncle to play with me. We'd go for walks on the train tracks at my grandmother's place - I'd ramble on and he would listen. He was a cool guy I looked up to that made time for me. I would love to have a picture of uncle David and I walking on the train tracks when I was a kid - I feel like somehow that image could help to solidify and preserve that memory. 
 
I would love to hear from you - about images you're thankful were taken or you wish had of been. Please feel free to comment below.

This may explain my efforts to capture my family on the tracks now :)

We make time every year to have our family pictures done and just looking back 4-years since Sophia was born we are blown away by how much has changed!

We all know that time goes by too fast when you have kids. We frequently hear from parents that it's been years since they've had family pictures done. So it's no trouble to convince parents that having a family session is a good idea - our challenge is to help parents book a date and just do it! 
 
In our experience, setting a date for family pictures is one of the easiest things to put off to another day. Parents want to get their hair done or lose a little weight or - this time of year - wait for better weather.  
 
Our advice - don't worry about your hair, weight or weather - the right photographer will be able to capture who you are as a family in a flattering way. While we enjoy our family pictures as parents now, we're pretty confident that Sophia, our daughter will appreciate them even more as the years pass. 
 
So, find someone you're comfortable with to document your family today!

We believe it's important that there is a connection between a photographer and the people that allow them to document their lives. A video that offered some insight into who Kate and I are as photographers, as a couple and as parents seemed to be a good way to potentially start to form that connection.  
 
This video would not have been possible without Jason Lefrense. We've known Jason for a few years but our first opportunity to work with together came this past June where he was producing a video for wedding clients we were photographing. It was like he wasn't there - he's professional and so creative and yet he's able to capture everything without impacting the flow of the day.  
 
Jason is passionate about what he does, really cares about his clients and the work he does for them and I'm just proud to call him our friend. I could keep going on and on but you just need to have a look at his work - some of the best wedding videos you'll see anywhere - Check out Jason's Website 
 
We would also like to thank Danette and Dylan and Charlene & Jeff for letting us document their shoots. To Coleen & Scott for your amazing talents. Jason's beautiful wife Bernadette for sharing Jason with us. To our families for all your support and especially Sophia for your patience with Mum and Dad. And for all our clients whose images appear in the video - couldn't have done it with out you! 
 
We hope you like it.  
 

From January 1st to December 28th we had an amazing wedding season. We continue to be impressed with the wonderful people we attract as clients - thanks to them for trusting us with their wedding photography.

New camera for Christmas? Not happy with the results you've been getting as you try and document your family?

What a delightful family to work with! We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with Samantha & Randy again and were so impressed with their daughter Isabel.

What an amazing backyard!

Pia was such a bright and beautiful subject!

We were so excited to meet Yanni - Georgina and Jimmy's new addition. They are so in love and for good reason.

Quiet time with granny.

What a proud Dad!

What a pleasure it was to work with this family!

A little run in the backyard.

It's my hope some of our work will be enjoyed and appreciated years from now - with this in mind, I've got a good feeling about this image.

We had a great time with Krista & Josh the other night. From bombing around the park to hanging out downtown.
