I recently had the opportunity to photograph three different family units. The common relationship for the three families is they were all sisters. I was quite nervous as I had never completed a family photoshoot with three different families before. But I was up to the challenge!

Well in this case, it could not have gone better….

It was a crisp winter’s afternoon and we all met at the Arboretum at the Himalayan Cedars. It was the perfect afternoon for the kids that had a lot of energy to burn. Even though there were three families I knew it was going to be a fun afternoon because all the kids had an amazing personality.

The golden winter’s glowing through the trees and the amazing colour palette.

It had to be quite an orderly process and an almost cookie cutter approach to the session to make sure that I got all the shots in. The kids were all cousins and had a great relationship.

Single portraits of the kids are always part of a family photoshoot and just look at how gorgeous these kids came up! They looked absolutely amazing.

A great thing about the arboretum is that I have all these different places that on hand to include in the session.

This must be one of my favourite photos from the day - how much joy is radiating out of all the kids at the wide brown land sculpture. It was enough to give me a warm fuzzy moment.

And here's the thing, each of the families was just so naturally relaxed in front of the camera. The kids were playing little games together when they were not having photographs taken. This was definitely not that totally structured portrait style at all, it was all-natural, organic family moments.
