The date was only a couple of weeks earlier than last year, but the weather was a good deal warmer. When I worked with Erin, Tim, Ben and Sam last year, we were surprised by early snow during our session. This time we enjoyed a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon, perfect for hanging out on the porch of the family’s traditional Oakville home. Sam is such a character. He was overflowing with ideas of photos he wanted me to take of him. I joked with Erin that he’s ready for a career as a model (he’s certainly got the face for it!) I hope that enthusiasm and his wonderful smile endure for many years to come. It definitely makes my job easier.
