Victoria + Family | Dartmouth Extended family Photographer

I’m not sure if it is a by-product of COVID-19, but over the last two years, I’ve been asked numerous times to do extended family sessions, and I have to say I am very pleased about this new trend. I love taking pictures of these big families! Maybe it’s because I have my own kids now. It definitely hits different when I get to meet parents with their grown-up children who now have children of their own. It’s just great to be invited into see it all, even if it’s only a brief glimpse.

This was a pretty great occasion to have pictures done. One sister decided to move back home after spending a number of years out in Alberta. Now the group is complete and it really does seem like one big happy family. This was fun and relaxed, and so much cousin love. Hope I get to meet them all again!

I was contacted for an extended family photography session at their property in Purcell’s Cove. The occasion was bittersweet: after 50 years, their home would soon belong to someone else. It was the right moment to have pictures done, so that they could hold on to a piece of their family history forever. Thank you for letting me be part of this!

Back when it was beautiful and sunny, I had the opportunity to do an extended family photoshoot with the MacKinnon family at Rainbow Haven Beach. Four adult children with their own families…two of whom travelled from out west to spend some time together as a family. It was special to have the whole group together! There is a lot of love and laughter in this family, and I’m so pleased to have been able to capture these images for them.

Marguerite | 90th birthday | Halifax Family Photographer

I was invited to take pictures for a very special occasion: a 90th birthday party. Held at the Prince Andrew Hotel in Halifax, I photographed family formals before the reception began. It was very touching to see all of this family together, from the young to the young-at-heart. Not only that, but I was moved at how many people were able to come celebrate this woman.
