The J Family | Sarnia/Lambton County Family Portrait Photographers

I had the most incredible attack of nerves before this shoot. Simply because I knew it wasn't just one set of family photos that we would be taking, but several families -- and some of the entire family at that! Mrs. J was celebrating a special birthday and had been wanting new family pictures for some time now, so her children surprised her by dressing in coordinating family colours and having a photographer come in to get portraits done.

However, I needn't have worried because the J family made us feel right at home and they know how to have fun! Oh wow!! They have the most incredible gardens out back. It was like a private oasis!! Between the beautiful gardens and overcast skies, we had the perfect setting for plenty of photos.

Here they did an almost perfect job of pretending they were getting an early 1900's photo done. Someone in the back row was trying not to crack up :0).

Some more fun! This was totally impromptu. I had to laugh that little Miss A did this so quickly and willingly. What a hoot!

Little J. The only grandson. His gap toothed grin was fresh that morning. Too cute!

A warm thank you to the J family for a fun-filled afternoon. Thank you for being so willing to have many many photos taken! You were wonderfully patient to be "forced" to stand in front of a camera off and on all afternoon!

Because we remember moments, not days...
