These three crazy kids stopped running around (sorta) long enough for me to create some photos for Mom. Talk about active kids!

I met up with this family of kooks for a family session, although I didn’t know they were kooks until I got there. Lots of fun, tree climbing, and people making out in the background. Awesome!

Maybe a park in the middle of the day isn’t the best spot for this

A Year in Sacha’s Life, Session One

Mike — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:47:31 +0000

Harkiran, Tod and I first met almost six month ago, when we did a maternity session at their home. Since then, little Sacha has come into to world, and I had fun getting to know him during his first Year in the Life session. He was a trooper in the evening light, and we got some great stuff.

Sacha had time for an airplane ride with dad…
…before hunger pangs took over

Tika got into the action too, of course, mostly by being patient.

For their third session, we went to play in the fall colours of the arbouretum.

We were first given a lesson in How To Burn Off Energy by Andrea:

Then it was time for, in the words of a friend of mine, “the best baby hair ever!“

Then, lesson two on How To Burn Off Energy:

Mavis + Tyler

You may recall a few years ago that I photographed Mavis when she was just a little baby…well, she has a new baby brother, and now it’s Tyler’s turn!

I couldn’t believe how much Mavis has grown since I saw her last!

We had time for rolling down hills…

…feeding the ducks…

…and throwing leaves!

And Chloe the great dane got in on the action as well.

A Year in Griffin’s Life, Session Four

Mike — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:12:33 +0000

I met up with Martine and Stephen and the fam at the Arboretum for the last of their Year in the Life sessions. It’s always fun to see how much these two have grown between sessions

The previous session can be seen here here and here.

A Year in Christian’s Life, Session Four

Mike — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 00:18:56 +0000

For the fourth session in Erika and Michael’s Year in the Life, we met up at the arboretum in the nice hot weather! It’s such a neat feeling to be able to document the life of a new baby, I can’t wait to create their album

Their previous session can be found here here and here.
