I know you aren’t supposed to play favourites, but I have to say that this photo shoot was one of my favourites for a few reasons:

1.  This is my sister-in-law and her family.

2.  They are a particularly beautiful family (check out Maki’s hair and Justine’s smile!)

3.  I got to work with a completely new (and very fun, might I add) location

4.  Allison, my sister-in-law, is an artist (in many ways: actress, painter, photographer, you name it).  Vernon, my brother-in-law, is also an artist (his medium of choice being font design).  Because of this, I felt like I had extra license to just “play” with the shadows and composition a little more than I normally would.

So, that said, you’ll notice that I processed a few of these pictures in a more “edgy” way than normal.  It just seemed to fit the style and feel.  One thing I love about photography is that there is always something new to learn and try!
