This was my last portrait session of the year (well, almost, we’re sneaking one engagement session in later this month!). It’s a challenge in Calgary because once the frost hits, all of the plants die and everything turns the same greyish, brownish, non-colour. The grass dies, the leaves shrivel on the trees, and it only gets dustier and more grey as the winter progresses. Sigh! But we braved the park last weekend for these family portraits — it was chilly and windy but at least the sun was shining and the air was fresh. Here’s the sneak peek:

Someone, at some point, had built a cool little lean-to fort thing by the creek, I’m not sure when… but couldn’t resist using it in some photos.

You can tell in this one that baby got his mom’s beautiful blue eyes:

Thank you guys so much for a great session and for being so brave in the weather. Your little one was so well-behaved for his age and the cold weather!

I’ll be away this weekend, I’m jaunting off to Vancouver for a few days on Thursday evening, but will get back to photo processing and replying to inquiries when I get back.
