My step-mom's family was in town over the long weekend from the Maritimes. It's the first time they've all been in Ontario together in 24 years and she wanted to mark the occasion by having some family portraits taken by none other than yours truly. I was flattered and more than a little nervous but I jumped at the opportunity.
So they came for a visit to the old farmhouse and I made them traipse all over the yard.
Really. All over the yard.
As the children of a notorious picture taker, these guys are used to posing for the camera which made my job that much easier. And they also have a great sense of humour and let me tell ya, that's a good thing when you're behind the lens.I've never considered doing portrait photography; heck, two years ago I wasn't really even into photography but I'd take their photo anytime. Well, as long as they understand this barn and I are a package deal.
Happy Fourth of July Friends!

Wonderful portraits! I love all the shots, and the barn is THE perfect background (well, of course!). I'm still looking for my first victims.. lol. Hmmmm, who shall I trap?! -Tammy p.s. adore your header too :)
those look really fun. i love the one leaning on the rail with the field behind. but also love the sunset lighting as they relax together. so cool!!!
Love those shots! Especially the one with them lying down and the editing you did on the last one in front of the barn door.

Great photos, and I like the casual and fun poses. Hubby, kids and I really need to do something fun and informal like this.
A wonderful occasion to save in photos and the stories they will tell.
