Young and Old....Sisters forever


I have to tell you that yesterday's session was a really lovely opportunity to photograph Sisters..at different stages of life.Jaylene  one of the co-owners of Chinook Yoga ( where I go for Yoga in PG ) brought her Mom and Aunt over for a photo session and her 3 gorgeous daughters and their family Dog Kodi. It was a chance for them to see their Grandma in a "new light",one where she radiated beside her sister. We did lots of pics with the girls both the young ones and the more "mature" ones. Jane is seated and beside her is her sister Mary ( Jaylene's Mom).They immigrated to Canada over 50 years ago and though one lives here in PG and the other in Victoria they are extremely close to each other.You can see the love they have for each other. Now the granddaughters of Mary had lots of energy in the beginning but as the afternoon went on they came to the end of it..which really makes the bottom image great as they quickly went into a position they found themselves and I just refined it a bit.And look at Kodi he is an older dog..but as Jaylene said he looks 3!! See even dogs love us! Thanks for coming out and being such great people to work with.
Hair and Makeup for Mary  and Jane was by Christina at Razors Edge and Makeup with Theresa also at Razor's Edge ...who have moved to their new location behind Starbucks and the Bank of Montreal on 15th and Central. Great job Christina and Theresa as always!!
