The Patirana MacKinnon Family on the Seawall
This family. I have had the absolute privilege of photographing them a number of times before, and my heart leapt when I got an email saying 'let's do it again!'. One of my favourite things is watching families grow and it's something that I find myself amazed by twice over in recent months. Anoma and Alan have the most stunning girls with such adventurous spirits. Why is it so rewarding to see babies and little ones at this age smile? Because, even though you may have to work for it, it is 100% authentic joy. Our original plans to explore the Olympic Village were thwarted by the dragon boat festival (doh!) and they were so amazing and flexible with a last minute change of location and walked all the way (with a 2 and 3 years old!) along the seawall to Charleson park where we eventually settled in. I love this session, and these four <3
