It’s been a crazy week! The last time I posted I had some great news and now that we’ve all had a chance to come back down to earth I’ve got some family goodness to post about. Not my family. The Siemens’: Kristi, Rod, Jake and Taleah. I’ve known Kristi for years and when she asked me to take photos of her young family I obviously jumped at the chance. Then we had to reschedule due to rain. And then again. And the third time we said let’s go for it and see what happens! We met at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam and as soon as they arrived it started to drizzle. Of course. But then we were lucky — the sun peeked out long enough to get some lovely sun-glowing family shots. Then back to cloud. This is life in the Lower mainland.

This is one good looking family. So photogenic! Jake is a typical two year old and his favorite word is no. He loves his Tonka truck more than anything and that’s why you’ll see it make cameos in a few pictures. He also loves to stick out his tongue so you’ll see it making a cameo, too. Taleah is just the most adorable little thing with her pink bow! She has squishy little cheeks that I just love.
