I think they were the first family I ever photographed, years ago now, and are still today, some of my favourite people.

summer bloom, here so soon.

The crew’s all here! Always an absolute joy to capture these guys together.

Who knew that one day our hearts would soar higher than your veil did on the day we wed?

Or that we’d soon find more reasons to unabashedly laugh?

little did we know that we’d grow

stronger, yet softer

with each little sigh

coo

grip

eyes of wonder

Come what may as the winds blow us West

I am a fool for this happiness

These dear old friends of mine. You know what the biggest challenge is when taking photos of people like them? I can’t shut up. It’s like focus, lady, you’re not here to hang out. Well, kind of am of course but they need at least one picture on the wall. Anyway, a lovely time with the V family and their new babe.

“Lucas doesn’t understand me” he exclaims as he throws the door open. They’re playing hockey outside and have come at an impasse. “I know, I know” I reply. We talk about how hard it is to get along, how we’re all so different. I don’t pretend, I encourage space, and I know you’ll find each other again, in your play, in the legos strewn across your room, and in the never ending butt jokes.

Turns out winter is so much better when the weather is cold and the hot chocolate is real hot.

Just crawling out of my editing cave to give you some more of this session. These guys moved here from the west coast, so when the fall colours are particularly nice, I’m like “oh yeah, it’s ok here too, sure we have no ocean or mountains, but it ain’t bad”

These gusts of wind returned me back to you. Oh Great Lake, you hold my memories and the pocket change of my youth.

I follow the path, you are fast, long limbs and resolute strides are no contest for my lazy stroll. You mumble something about oak trees.

Eleven years, filled with tearing down walls, brick ones and our own.

Rebuilding old houses, raising unexpected babies, crackling camp fires in the yard, and hushed fights in the kitchen.

We always return to each other somehow, the turmoil ends with some dumb joke, as we exhale in an embrace.

Musty woods and the bones of a moose. We’ve come so far and have so far to go.

I offer apologies to the agitated beaver in front of me. The acorns fall around us on the mossy forest floor.

Plop plop

Tick tock

We are forever.

What is a memory? For you? For me?

Our cat jumped out of the car while we drove to a new house. I remember waiting for my parents at night, they went back for her, “Heidi” they called out, but they returned empty handed. My dad told me she was with other wild cats now, enjoying her freedom.

My son asked me the other day if my cat was still alive “I don’t know” I answered. Knowing full well it was impossible, believing what I wanted to, just as I had when I was eleven.

A few photos from the Blue Hour workshop with .its.claire

Besides learning new tricks of the trade it just feels so good to have the time and space to play and experiment.
