.marty + shannon. historic stewart farmhouse family photography

Returning clients are always an honor. I love seeing families and couples come back; to see how they have changed and grown. I also love that it gives me the privilege of continuing to document their story. Marty + Shannon did just that! It was 2.5 years ago that I had my first session with this couple and their sweet twins, and forgive me for sounding like a grandma, but my oh my, have they grown!!!
Though the weather was a bit sketchy earlier in the day, the clouds cleared and the sky lent itself to perfect photography lighting. It was also our first time to the Historic Stewart Farm in South Surrey...so gorgeous! Steve was with me for this session, and did a great job making silly faces behind my head and getting the kiddos smiley :) Thanks for a great afternoon...hope we see you soon!

I have to confess something. The thought of a session with toddler twins is kind of intimidating, if not altogether scary.  Don't get me wrong, I love kids and I think they are particularly adorable at the "18 month-ish" stage, but they are also wiggly personified... x2.
These two munchkins are a month younger than my youngest, so their mom, Cherish and I had lots of notes to compare and I was totally familiar with their antics. These two are so loveable and sweet that my anxiety quickly turned to enjoyment. This is the beauty of lifestyle photography...you catch people where they are at...wiggles and all. We spent some time getting some shots by the tree inside and then moved things outdoors so the little ones could roam free.
Hunter + Ayla ~ you two have such a gift in each other. I loved meeting your family and spending some time playing with you....wishing you a  very merry christmas!
