Since the conclusion of his third birthday he has been talking about turning four.  Yup, he is a planner.  ha.  He had decided he would have a batman birthday, which morphed into a hulk birthday and soon (per some mommy prompting) became a superhero party!  Phew.  It was a blast.  I cannot think of a better excuse to have the wee ones all dressed up and running around my house like maniacs!  The Hulk was beyond thrilled!  Of course, whats a superhero party without super friends?  Wondergirl, Rainbow Rose, Super Sailor Baby…A Super Princess….and of course the more traditional Ironman and Spiderman showed up as well.  All in all…it was “Super”.

I was able to grab some before things got crazy…then my photographer took over…hehe.  Michele, thank you so much for capturing Si’s big day.  I will forever cherish these…soooo happy!

ah yes. this is four.how many ways can you spell trouble?i so love this costume.  is it wrong that i wish she would wear it 24/7?  The right one is Wondergirl in action.  hehe.penticton child photography, penticton photography, brooke bowlandlove these.  love.he very much played the roll.  my little hulk.thanks mom for sharing the icing recipe.  it is so loved!happy fourth birthday my little hulkster.  kisses.

I was fortunate to not only have them step in front of my camera this past weekend, but also their Mom and bonus dad Terry.  We got together for what Laura believed would be “one” photo…and turned into a mini session.  The photo will be published along with a story as Terry + Laura recently won “Share the Love” a contest on Lavalife (which is where they met)…the prize…$5000!!  Hello.  Click here to check out their winning love story.  Pretty darn amazing.

enjoy.

Of course Mom + Dad (Dale) were also the most wonderful “models”.  You could feel the love that they have for their beautiful little man and it was easy to see just how adored he is.

love.a little love for their first baby…Chai.is that a little smile? oh yes it is.
look at this little face. sigh…Thank you Dale, Jenna + Sam for having me in your home.  Enjoy every moment.

This session was a total quickie.  With only around 10 minutes, we were able to pull off some keepers and I cannot help but adore how “real” they are.  Thank you Michele for always trusting me enough to not only put yourself in front of my camera, but also your perfect little family.  You know those girls melt me.  I love how Eve loves her tongue.  Adorable.

I do hope that you and Mike have a wonderful time on your much needed holiday.  Just remember, the girls will love you that little bit more when you return.  xo.

Just a few of many.  Enjoy.
