It may have been long ago that a porch was meant to be a gateway to the house- a place to take off dirty work clothes so as to keep the house clean. Somewhere along the way it may have acted as a passage way home, where perhaps you could leave all of your worries at the door. But I adore this concept here; a place to sit, relax, and gossip. There’s nothing like kicking your feet up with your favourite people, in your coziest place, with warm smiles, and gorgeous fall colours. <3

I met Lou through friends ages ago, and there were a few things that stuck out the most when I did. She is fierce. Like a deep rooted loyalty to her closest family and friends that is hard to find now a days; a lioness if you will. She’s super genuine, and the connection she shares with her people is everything- this is something I value so, so much… and is how I knew I really liked her from the get go. And last but not least, she is a Jeep junkie… seriously, this woman knows her stuff and is super bad-ass! Meeting the rest of her fam jam was truly an honour- they are so very loving and like-minded! I had such an amazing time photographing them! We even snuck away for some romantic shots of Mom and Dad… and of course we incorporated Fiona, the Jeep ;).

Lou, thank you for trusting me with taking the first real family photos you’ve had in yeeeeaaaaaars <3
