Family Session on Tonquin Beach


This was the type of shoot where I was given complete freedom. Generally, with families, we keep it very fluid, lighthearted and let the kiddos lead the way. These two kiddos, Rooney and Hunter, were very playful and explorative. Hunter took a little time to warm up to the camera and me (I'm a new face!). However, after he watched his sister and saw how we were goofing around he was totally into it and exploring everywhere by the end. Even the water!
