This afternoon I headed to a farm south of Wolseley to meet with the wonderful McCall Family. Unfortunately there were a few important people still missing from these family photos but son, Ian and his wife and daughter were home from England so it was time to get those grandkids together and take some photos at Grampa's original homestead. It was a little tricky off the start with one very shy British girl but she was so adorable and before we knew it, she started to follow suit with the rest of the kids and did a great job. Plus she had the most adorable accent, lol. Anyway, thanks so much everyone for making the trek out from the city and for putting up with the mosquitos. Here's a few shots from the day.
Enjoy!!
I'm starting with a shot I love of everyone in front of Grampa's homestead. It sure was a great old house and the kids told stories about Grampa shingling the roof when they were little and scaring them to death when he fell off.

The kids are slowly starting to warm up. I love this shot with the flowers. Getting kids involved in an activity always helps get a great shot.
And just for fun, a little peak-a-boo through the flowers.
The shy "Miss L" suddenly not so shy and totally fine with a photo just of her. She even struck a little pose. How adorable is she?!?
Anyone that knows me knows I love an old house and this one was no different. Look at the great blue colors and the fantastic wallpaper. I just love the vintage feel of this photo and the next few coming up.
Brothers. Love, love, love this serious shot of the boys! They were so sweet I could have easily taken them home.
Miss M is such a great kid and always had a smile on her face. I had to force her to not smile in this shot but I love it!
Okay, I know I keep using the word love tonight but I totally love this group shot. The light is just so pretty.
And here's the lady that organized this whole thing and her boys. Its too bad that dad had to work but now he will have a great shot of his family for his desk. Carla was super nice. I liked her right off the bat and know if she was living out here we'd definitely be grabbing a coffee now and then. Thanks for getting everything together Carla. :)
Cousins!
Snuggling with Grampa.
I just had to throw this shot in. Sometimes in order to get the shot you want, you have to let the kids have a little fun. Isn't that what its all about anyway? We even got Grampa involved in this one. Too funny.
I don't even think anyone knows about this last shot. It was actually one of the first shots I took when everyone was surveying the yard with Grampa in the lead. It just seems so natural. Thanks again everyone for the great time.

Ok, you had me crying from picture one. I've been wanting to do this for a long time and today was awesome and these pictures are fantastic!! You've brought to life exactly what I wanted. And yes, coffee would definitely be on, from one sentimental gal to another!
