As promised, a few more photos from my ultra-entertaining shoot with the Spires family at their home in ‘sunny’ Tsawwassen. Well, except for the day of our shoot, Tsawwassen claims to be the sunniest area in Greater Vancouver. Ashley arranged the shoot as she’s following her heart and moving away and realized she didn’t have any family portraits to hang on her walls in Saskatchewan.

The Spires were comical and cracking jokes the whole shoot. Sarcasm is second nature to each family member, even Shortpants (aka Ethan, Ashley‘s nephew….always referred to as ‘Shortpants‘). I was certain Ashley‘s mom was part Maritimer when we arrived back to the house and within seconds she had a full spread of sweets and black as tar coffee on the table….it was like heaven.

Best of luck to Ashley on her move….for all of you that have kids or love kid’s books, Ashley is a talented illustrator and author. Her recent book, “Penguin and the Cupcake” is filled with humour and the illustrations are beyond beautiful. Don’t forget to check out her beautiful and unique finger puppets as well!
