Another family shoot! This time, for Mark’s family! Hannah, Ben, Graham and Xavier…our wonderful family…and our neighbors! We love them soo much and are soo blessed to have them in our lives! It’s soo hard to believe that Graham is now 4 years old (5 in January!)…when it seems like only yesterday, he practically had a daily shoot on my blog when he was born as the first child into the family!! Now Xavier is 2 (3 in March!) and everyone is growing soo quickly!! Oh…and a full family shot at the end! Told you that I was trying to capture everyone this year!

We were at my in-laws house for a family day of birthday celebrations when we did this shoot…and so Soph naturally ended up in the shoot! She loves her cousins, her Auntie H and her Umbleken, as she calls him (aka, Uncle Ben)! And I couldn’t help but shoot a few of my FAVORITE tree….. it’s such a beautiful, magestic old tree that is absolutely massive!! It’s estimated to be over 200 years old….and seen soo many generations, seasons, storms and sunshine…it’s amazing. One of my favorite things to do each fall is to visit Mark’s parents property and see my favorite tree!

And the whole clan from earlier this fall…

If these lovely faces look familiar, that’s because they are MY FAMILY!! My sister’s family, my parents…and even Mark, Sophie and I…and my Gram makes an appearance too! I’ve worked hard to try to actually capture family shots for all members of my family this year because while it’s on my priority list every year, it doesn’t always happen! So, we grabbed a tripod, snuck away as a group for about 15 minutes and voila…family photos! I love my family…they are all such fantastic, wonderful people. I’m SOO blessed to have them in my life, have their constant help, support, friendship and love!
