Traditional portraits just aren’t the right thing for my family. Here’s some mother and son bonding with Debbie and Michael. This is as normal as they get and I love them for it.

Dave and Anne had a family session on Saturday – the day they were married. I was not so secretly hoping the weather forecast would be wrong – NOPE – rain and 60km/hour winds! We stayed inside while wet furniture tumbled across back yards outside. These parents are the kind that join in on imaginary…

Fantastic job, Jay–viva the “new normal”!!
Some incredible pictures… the sky looks almost 3-D!
