It is such a blessing to photograph a couple that I went to school with that have now married and started a family of their own. When we were about fifteen or sixteen, I played messenger for Josh as he had written a letter for Jess expressing his feelings for her. Little did I know at the time, that that letter would blossom into a lifelong romance! Josh and Jess married in 2012 and introduced their son Maverick to the world nine months later.
I have had the pleasure to photograph Josh and Jess’ maternity session, Maverick’s newborn session and to work with Jess on a number of styled shoots. I was thrilled when Jess contacted me about photographing a christmas styled family session. Jess is a stylist and a collector of antiques. She planned the shoot to include some amazing pieces including a mantel piece, a dining table, a chandelier (which hung from a tree! It was amazing!) old christmas coloured suitcases, a vintage pedal car and so much more! There were cherries and berries and fruit puddings and pine cones – a beautiful spread that Jess laid out on the table to create the feeling of christmas in an outdoor home setting. It was gorgeously done!
