The Gardiners & Extended Family - Dante's Confirmation

Dante all decked out for his confirmation. Great gran at his side, gran on the far left, aunt and uncle behind, dad, mom, big brother, and little brother all supporting him on his important day.

Jake here was full of energy and a real ham for the photos. We did manage to get in a bunch of nice shots without a ninja pose, eyes open, tongues not sticking out. He is the sweetest young guy and I am so pleased to be friends with the family. Jake even asked if I was going to sleep over! Sadly, I had to decline. ha!! We settled for hot dogs and beer. Strangely enough, this is my favourite shot of him in action.

He took this photo of me. He is very keen behind the camera.

The Brothers Three

Great Grandma

Lisa and her brother, Mike

There were so many other great shots from this day. I will be sharing more after part two in June.

Mary & Ainsley

Ainsley...I think her name means pure sweetness.

Sack o' potatoes!

Just chillin under a tree

Squealing with delight!

At first she wasn't thrilled by the leaves...then she decided not to eat them...and then it was fun!

Yup....fun stuff!

Mama and daughter. They have such an amazing connection.

Snuggles and smiles.

Jennifer, Colin, Ireland, & Hunter

We spent a lovely afternoon at Bear Creek Park taking photos with the beautiful backdrop of the park, the falling leaves and misty fog. What a fun shoot!

Hunter was celebrating his first birthday this week. Jenn and Colin brought a cake for him and we had a really fun cake smash party! We actually had people walking by and watching this part of the session. He seemed to love having full access to this yummy treat! The results were messy for sure!

Sister, Ireland having a serious chat with her little brother. They were so sweet!

One of my favourite "poses".

Hello Squires family!

There seemed to be some good light hearted joy shared between these two...xoxo

Ireland was always thinking of the next pose. So cute. She didnt know I was taking this photo or she would have turned her head and 'smized' !

Some father/son snuggles.

Jennifer, Les, Colton, JJ, Baby Mason....& Jackson

One of the serene moments of the day.

Go Hawks! Just like Dad!

Bubble gum toes. This is Jennifer's bracelet with the letters of each of her boys names on it.

One of the few posed photos...These boys are so full of energy, it was tricky getting them to sit for this....but I believe lollipops were in order after the day was done.
