Thanksgiving Family Portrait Session

My husband’s cousin had been trying to get me to take some updated photos of her 4 boys for months but with two of them now out of the house, one in Halifax and the other in Montreal, it’s not often they all get together. All the more important to capture this stage in all their lives before too much time passes! We had finally settled on Thanksgiving weekend since we would all be at our cottages (that are next to each other on the old family compound in the Kawartha Lakes). However, since the one son that lived in Halifax had to fly home earlier to attend his grandmother’s memorial, they opted not to fly him up for Thanksgiving. Without her knowledge, her sister bought him a ticket and took him up to the cottage as a surprise. Gotta love sisters and gotta love surprises!

So, in the end, we did get our session even though no one had planned outfits (they are all boys afterall!) and I didn’t have all my gear with me. So even though all was not perfect, it will be a memorable Thanksgiving with a great story and a few wonderful pictures of some of the nicest (not to mention best looking) brothers you will ever meet. I’m just glad to now be part of their extended family!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!

Your family photographer,
