a little urban love

I sincerely LOVE it when clients schedule sessions with me in downtown areas. There is so much fun to be had, lots of color and great opportunity for creativity.

So, I was genuinely excited to meet up with this family and enjoy myself! Tika is a friend of a friend...and I just knew that she would be a whole lot of great. And, of course she was! Along with her hubs, mom and kids.

A wonderful session indeed.

Dan was not incredibly thrilled about taking photos...but he was a good sport none-the-less and I love how Tika knew just how to make him grin! ;)

I really love this shot of them together.

And this one of Roch starting to boogie.

Love this.

Tika's mom was there to join the fun!

It was such a treat to get her in a few shots with her wonderful grandkids.

She is a very proud grandma and she is so very kind.

I had a lot of fun with the backdrops around here.

There were some really fun walls that were screaming for some attention.

I really like these family shots...

And a couple of my most favorite of the incredibly gorgeous Shyla:

Can you believe her? I just think she is so amazing.

And the equally charming Roch:

These kids were so easy to take pictures of!
I had a lot of fun with this family and loved being at this location. I even got to walk around by myself pre-session and take some much needed "for no other reason but to take pictures" pictures.
It was a wonderful morning for sure.

Thanks for everything Tika, Dan, Shyla, Roch (and grandma!)...it was seriously great to be with you for this session and I was so happy to finally meet you!!

I am really thrilled with what we got... and can't wait to share more with you.
