It's Never Too Late To Make Mother's Day

I bumped into Ed Carrington looking for a last minute Mother’s Day gift for his wife Jazzmine. He saw our gallery in Conestoga Mall and decided to purchase a certificate for a family portrait session.

But Ed is in construction management and it's summer so squeezing in time for a shoot proved more difficult than he thought. Still, the best things in life are worth waiting for, right?

Mother's Day eventually came to be just a few weeks ago when Ed and Jazz came in to see their portrait presentation. They loved their shoot and so they should, as all the planning really paid off - coordinating work, sleep and feeding schedules! 

It’s always difficult choosing which prints to put up on the blog and this little family made things doubly difficult.  They make a real handsome couple do Jazz and Ed, but the icing on the cake was their two gorgeous children Marabella and Madalena.  

Every season brings different light and backgrounds in the landscape around our studio on the banks of the Eramosa river.  An enchanting meadow near our studio came to life with beautiful blue flowers and made an amazing setting for some close family shots. This also gave us an extra location for what was already a very varied shoot. Next day it was mowed down but it was great while it lasted.

Ed and Jazzmine now have some great images to remind them of a beautiful summer morning in 2010 and we have the memories of a great experience with their amazing kids.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

With five girls in the family, the Kims are a lot of fun to be around. The studio session was a blast with everyone getting their own '5 minutes of fame' to get their own personality shots.

Together with lots of different family groupings and some catwalk strutting, by 9pm the ideas were flowing and the laughter infectious.

Sometimes things don't go quite to plan, like the leapfrog game which resulted in a few tears, but it didn't take long for the Kim girls to get back into the flow again!

We love designing bespoke pieces for our clients and when Jully explained she had some great space to work with, we were delighted to create a montage for each member of the family.

Jully, Harold and the girls - thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to capture your beautiful family. We hope the images will bring you joy for many years to come!
