From time to time, I manage to return home to Edmonton to visit my family. It’s usually over the Christmas holidays, which doesn’t allow for many portraits opportunities (because Edmonton is VERY VERY COLD, haha). Luckily, I managed to schedule a visit during the warmer months, and was lucky enough to meet the Bacchus family to capture their little family of three. Their son is close in age to my son, Ezra, and we bonded deeply over our common stage of life as new parents to toddler boys. (We also bonded over our love of the ring sling company, True North Slings, which Renee wore to carry her son for part of our session!) We chatted so much throughout this session, I found myself mourning the fact that we didn’t live closer so that we could organize play dates and chat more! The warmth and love between these three is infectious. You can’t help but laugh when you’re with them (and maybe secretly hope they might adopt you). It was a pleasure capturing these images for them!
