During this recent session at a gorgeous oceanside park in Victoria, BC, this lovely family brought along a simple but fun prop—a football. They weren't a family deeply into football, but having the ball with them created a natural way for their boys to engage, let loose, and just have fun. It was amazing to see how something so simple sparked laughter and playful moments that brought out their personalities. These are the kinds of candid interactions that make sessions so meaningful.

Amidst the golden autumn light and the backdrop of Victoria’s beautiful coastline, we captured moments that felt truly authentic. The boys played catch and pulled their parents into play, creating beautiful, unscripted memories. Whether it’s bringing along a favourite toy or simply embracing the surroundings, it’s these natural moments that make each session unique.
