Most Girls

Most girls are smart and strong and beautiful
Most girls work hard, go far, we are unstoppable
Most girls, our fight to make every day
No two are the same
I wanna be like, I wanna be like most girls

Most Girls - Hailee Steinfeld

You may recognize this family, or you may not.. depends on how long you've been following me. 

Last year, I moved in with Toni & Dylan - they graciously accepted me into their home to help me get on track to buying my own home. At that time, Toni was about to have their baby, Felicity. I had the opportunity of photographing her entrance into the world, and watching her grow nearly every day for roughly 8 months.

Now, I've been in my own home with Andrew for almost four months. Felicity is now over a year old. It's bittersweet watching her now, knowing I've missed out on quite a bit... but I'm in awe of how much she's developed in such a seemingly short amount of time. 

Toni wanted to capture this special stage in their life - they've made it one year through breastfeeding - and I of course was all for it. Like I need an excuse to hang out with some of my favorite people, much less photograph them during golden hour... sheesh.

We went out to Frenchman's Bar in Vancouver, not too far from home, and captured some beautiful light. 

I'm really glad I have been able to photograph their bond and tender moments over the last year; I consider it a privilege to be able to document a family more than once and observing how things change and how they stay the same..  

These kinds of shoots always make me look forward to this upcoming chapter in my life. 

Thank goodness I have awesome friends. :)
