Ghadie Family PhotoShoot

Posted on May 22, 2011 by admin

First off I must tell you about this most special person and her family. Ashley was like a second mom to my daughter, who looked after her since she was just a 1 yr old, right on up until she went off to Grade 1. Her and her family have a very special bond, and their love extends to anyone who is lucky enough to be welcomed into their family.

When Ashley had asked me to do her family pictures I was quite flattered. Her and her family was attending a wedding that same day, and so she wanted to use this opportunity to take some shots, provided the rain stayed away! We were lucky!

Here are their images.
