The MacInnis Family / by jennica hookstra

I have a pretty cool job...  

I get invited into people's lives, share in their life's events, and often have the opportunity to watch families grow...

I remember my first photoshoot with Jen, Josiah and their dog Topper.  It was quite the adventure as their new rescue pup was having his first big park experience and his first photoshoot.  From that initial shoot, I then went on to photograph Jen & Josiah's engagement as well as their beautiful wedding day.  Last week, I was thrilled when they invited me into their home to capture the latest addition to their family: baby Liam.  Who doesn't love newborn babies!?

This is what I have come to learn about babies: babies don't care if you want to take their picture or not.  They don't want to sit still, smile, worry about their double chin etc.  They just want to drink milk, sleep and poop.  I'm not going to say that these three things aren't all of Liam's most favourite, however, he decided to stray from his regular routine and put on his best modelling performance.  He was a dream to photograph.  So patient and calm, even opening his dark blue eyes for me as I put my intrusive lens in his face for a solid hour.  I have yet to see many adults do as well as this little man did...

I absolutely adore the MacInnis family...  Congratulations to your latest and greatest addition!  Here are the photos from our shoot!
