From Canada with love

Posted by Ileana Ravasio Posted in Portraits |

“I have a BIG question for you: would you consider flying to Canada for a long weekend in Sept. to do a photo shoot of family with baby?”. When my friend Rita wrote me this message I immediately checked the calendar and flights - how could I say no to this wonderful offer?!?

The Canadian countryside is very different from a Turks and Caicos beach but the challenge and excitement of a new location is always thrilling. Family and friends flew to Kitchener from Scotland to celebrate the arrival of baby Kade, the 50th birthday of Tom and the simple, fantastic joy of being together.

I loved spending time with Rita’s family - everybody had a special story to tell and I was extremely happy to capture a frame of it.

Let me introduce you the gang in Bob and Mary’s backyard - what a place!

Daddy, auntie and Kade

I met Brina during her hen’s party and I was mesmerized by her beauty… becoming a mom only improved it

The birthday boy Tom and his wife Brenda

My friends Rita and Ben (what a hottie this grandma!)

Despite the gorgeous setting, some of my favorite photos were taken in David and Brina’s bedroom

The front…

… and the back

Rita, thank you so much for inviting me to Canada… see you in Provo soon!
