Kathleen and Lucas invited me to capture their wedding ceremony and some photos afterwards at the Thunder Bay Conservatory. Anytime I get to shoot there, it makes me so happy. It’s such a beautiful location. It also helped that Kathleen and Lucas were an equally beautiful couple.

I have been pretty much growing up alongside Lucas, which is why I once again photographed him for his birthday. Each year he gets bigger and bigger, and even funnier. This time around he was going on and on about his Halloween costume, which is a banana. I guess it’s a Fortnite thing, which I know nothing about.

I have done birthday portraits of Lucas for a number of years now and each time has been a lot of fun. He has so much character and personality that I have always come away with good moments.

It was actually great meeting some of their extended family, especially their grandmother.

This time around he was turning 2. I still can't believe just how big he has gotten since one year ago. Whereas, the last time we did this, we were able to just plop him where we wanted and shoot away. This time around he was a lot more mobile, obviously walking and sometimes running on his own.
