My Growing Families blog posts are definitely one of my most favourite things right now. I spent the bulk of yesterday going through my archives pulling images of families that I have photographed a number of times over the years. What a journey my camera and I have been on! It’s an honour to document so many people at all of the big moments in their lives.

When you have been photographing a family like Caroline and Vav’s for six years, you really get to know them. Back in June 2008 I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding at the Estates of Sunnybrook’s Mclean House. I remember so much about that day. I remember that they served eggs benedict for dinner and that their pomeranian, Stella, was part of the ceremony. During cocktails she toured around to the groups of people mingling on the lawn just like a human guest. At their wedding they announced the sex of the baby that Caroline was pregnant with and I can still hear the yells of excitement from that moment. Alex was born in November of that year and in 2011 Zach made his appearance. The two are growing into handsome little men, each with their own big personalities and it has been such a joy to watch (and capture!). I am looking forward to our next session together which may or may not include an extra member of the family. Stay tuned!
