Had a lovely opportunity to head out after dark this week with a fellow photog friend and capture some night action in Kamloops.  If you can call it action.  haha.

Sunset, long exposures and light trails.  Different from my usual stuff.

And one other gem that I missed during my initial edit.  I love this one of my boy with his "sleeping baby"  his beloved baby has been with him pretty much since birth.  I love that in this photo my boy, who is now 3 and always seems to look so grown up looks more like the little boy of past months.   I love the older stages, but I do miss the little boy stuff too.

Out today with a fellow photo enthusiast and her little ones, we stood on deserted roads, we played near barb wire fences, we petted stray dogs, we danced, we posed, we photographed, we had fun.

Today was probably my last fall photo shoot before the snow flies this year.  I think we caught the fall leaves just before they all fell to the ground.  We headed to a spot very special to this family who spent many summers out there.  The "boys", truth be told are more men then boys, but really, to this mom they are her boys.  This shoot probably had to be one of my favorite to do.  The "boys", clearly their mom's apple of her eye, and dad's pride and joy are really nice young men.  I can't express how awesome it is to see a family so connected to each other and how nice it is that boys past their childhood come out for photos.

As I sat here editing the images, I kept reflecting on my family.  As the mother of a boy, I think I caught a glimpse into my family a few years in the future.  My son is almost three, and these "boys" are men, but I constantly had flashes ahead to when my son's a young man, and hope that we will be as connected as this foursome are to each other.  I hope this is us when my boy is a young man.  

At the end of the session I chased the boys away to do a few images of their parents, clearly still very much in love after many years together.  How awesome to see that !  I'm partial to the images of them too, again.... hoping this will be me and my husband down the road.  

Enough rambling... here are the images.... I sincerely hope we've accomplished what you guys were hoping for !
