One of the greatest parts of my job is documenting the changing lives of my couples. Multiple times at that. I photographed Stacey and Chris a couple years ago with their first wee babe and now I got to do it all over again. My favourite part of the shoot was getting something that I call a “session ending shot”. It’s a photo I get that essentially encapsulates everything I wanted to achieve that day. Sometimes it is extremely evident and other times it’s more subtle. For this shoot, it practically knocked me over. Little Chase was being slightly un cooperative, well she’s just over a year old so anything that isn’t screaming is great… But I got Momma and Chase together and she was so happy and smiley and bam. Session ending shot. It was toward the end when I could tell we were almost at Chase’s threshold and it truly did end the session.
