[family portraits: The Brace Family]

I love this job.

Forget that it meets a massive need in my life to be creative, this job lets me meet the greatest people.  And sometimes, it lets me reunite with people that I haven't seen forever.  

The plan was to meet in West Vancouver and hang out at the beach where their family loves to visit.  It's always such a great idea to have pics taken at a place that actually means something ...


Michael and Laura have been married for almost a decade ... but I've known Mike pretty much since birth. And when Laura contacted me about taking their family photos - I lept at it.  Taking Mike and Laura's beautiful family pics was an opportunity I couldn't pass up ... 

Their kids were just so so cute ...



Evan was full of 5 year old energy ... and being at the beach made me have to work to keep up with him *grin* ... and Isla?  She just discovered running ... and to get her to sit was pretty much not going to happen.   And how could I blame her?  It was the perfect place to be a kid.




And a few mommy and me pics were taken ...



And it wouldn't be a family shoot, without some family pics.  Right?




Stunning, aren't they?



And when I asked Mike and Laura if there was anything in particular that they wanted to make sure was captured - the biggest thing was a photo of the two siblings together.  Sounds simple enough, no?  *grin*.





And I'm still going through the pics ... I've managed to get the session down to just over 200 photos.  That's a lot of editing ...




Thank you, Mike and Laura, for allowing me to photograph your incredible family.


For all enquiries, please contact me at Redhanded Photography.  Thanks!
