Winter Family Fun! || Mount Forest Children Photographer

I cannot wait for the nicer weather, during the late spring, summer, fall we pretty much live outside and one of my fav reasons is its fun! Next to that of course is my photography – I love love love shooting wide open. So today when the kids were just itching to get outside, I completely embraced playing around with my 50L outside in the winter and capturing the amazing bokeh that you truly CAN capture even in the dead of winter. 


~Side note~ I am now including CUSTOM Birth Announcements with all my Newborn Photography! I will be posting some examples very soon (the parents from my January 2011 sessions just saw their annoucements!). 

My son truly is awesome… I asked him late this morning if he wanted to go outside right then or wait until daddy got home and go out later in the afternoon. His response to me was that we had to wait for daddy because if it was just mommy who would take pictures!? 


As funny as that statement is… yes I did completely LOL when he said that – but it also warmed my heart… my son already has an appreciation for the photos I capture of them – we do look back on photos together all the time and he continuously says “OH remember that mommy” – THATS what its all about… Even as an adult now with my own family I still LOVE looking back on our family photos of when I was a child. Its all about the memories and while capturing those memories – LIVING them! 


(I also got out of shoveling hehe!). 


Yes his tongue helps … lol



If you only knew how long it took me to get some shots of this miss looking at me… it took a LOT of work lol. Im sure if any of our neighbours were watching they were laughing at me! Right after I took this the shovel went up in front of her face and I was ‘told’ ‘ok mommy NO more pictures’ lol she was slightly over tired hehe. But oh so cute in her hat (which she just got from her cousins – yea hand-me-downs!). 



Ah and my love… the BIGGEST kid of them all… he had to make the sledding track better for the kids hehe. Love you! 

Trees and sunshine in the back yard – oh loving the sunshine!


Had fun with the fam… much needed! ❤
