Not your average family shoot...

As we've mentioned many times before, one of our favourite things about living here in the Yukon is the diverse people we get to work with. Today's blog features one of our favourtie converted Yukoners, and her family who was up to visit her, who were more than happy to jump in to all that is "Yukon" during their trip...

Here's an example of an outdoor-loving family.  Not only did they hike the Chilkoot together on their trip, but they were also more than happy to jump in some canoes and head out to Chadburn lake during our family shoot with them.  Now to be totally transparent here, they just so happen to come from 'canoe country' Ontario, and one of the daughters jokes that she has a degree in "camping." (It's a degree in Outdoor Rec).  SO, heading out in the canoes wasn't exactly a far stretch for them...But it sure resulted in some great shots.

We always try to get our family shoots to be a bit more interactive.  If you're looking for the sunday best, extremely formal and non-interactive shots...well, we're probably not the photographers for you.  We'd rather get you guys out interacting, having fun and sharing some good embarrassing stories to get some authentic laughs going!

So hope you enjoy the shots...

Maybe our next mission will be to have an 'adventure family' contest and see who can request the most unique family shoot yet...Takers anyone?

A Mother/Daughter shoot with a Yukon twist...

As many of you know, we get pretty excited when clients come to us with requests for something a bit unique...Needless to say, we were stoked when we were recently asked to do a mother/daughter shoot with a bit of a Yukon twist...

Cass contacted us to see if we'd be interested in coming out to her parent's local ranch to do a shoot with her, and her mother, and their family horses.  We, however, had no idea just how epic a location we were going to get to work with until we were driving out there...

It was basically photographic heaven-gorgeous yukon skies, amazing animals, and two beautiful and easy going models. Couldn't really have gotten any better...

The only difficult part was the fact that Brianne has a soft spot for horses, and basically didn't want to leave...but we didn't think, however, that the family would necessarily be stoked on a "free live-in photographer" addition to their shoot, so she had to...

Anyways, back to the photos-hope you like them!
