Blog posts usually go pretty quick for me. I say a few words, post some photos and hit publish. Today was different though. This one has taken a bit longer. It had me going back through years of blog posts and reminiscing.

I first met Julia in a mom’s group when we lived in Toronto. My Quincy was a baby (he’s now almost 8) and Julia’s little Noa was the same. We met with our little group of moms and babies at parks, one anothers’ houses and coffeeshops. A few years later, after I had just started up my little photography business, Julia asked me to come back to Toronto to photograph their family (which, like ours, had grown to 4). And so started a kind of yearly tradition. A chance for me to head back to Toronto and in a way, watch these kids grow. This past shoot was their fifth. I feel so honoured to have captured five years of their life. But now that I’ve moved to Calgary, and they announced they’re moving back to Germany, this may have been our last (I will still keep my fingers crossed though that the stars align one year soon and bring us together again). Heck, I had Noa slated to marry Quincy years ago.

Anyways, cheers to many more amazing years and to your new life in Germany. xo Kelly
