To grow up in such a beautiful part of Alberta, of Canada… of the world is a huge, huge part of me. I grew up on a ranch south of Longview, a small town that is known as the gateway to the Kananaskis. The views are striking as you are treated to both the mountains and the foothills all in one glance. Going ‘home’ is always a treat. So to take that gorgeous drive south, visit my family and also take photos of a family that is part of my growing up, on their gorgeous property outside Longview, is a perfect day for me!
This is a family that I rode the school bus with and there was only one digit different in our phone numbers!! When they asked me to take their family photos, I was beyond thrilled. We had such an amazing evening together taking so many different combinations of their family, admiring the amazing view they wake up to every morning, drinking a nice glass of wine and reminiscing! They are a musically gifted family so when all the kids brought out their instruments to play with Grandpa… perfection! When they wrote me after and shoot and mentioned they had a magical night, I truly got a lump in my throat. That’s what this is all about.
If you love this look, let us know if you would like to be involved in our mini-shoots in Longview on June 27th. That is not at this specific location but another gorgeous area I love. Take a look at this slideshow for what awaits you there!
