The Tabaka's - November 2011 - Lower Mainland Family Photographer

Catching up on blogposts today and this session is one definitely not to be forgotten. The Tabaka's are my childhood family. The house I would run to before the sun went down and we had to come in for the night, the place where I would talk about boys and giggle all night while being threatened to be separated at sleep overs, a place I called a second home growing up. As time went on and we all grew up, I am so thankful to say that I still love this family and consider them some of my own. When asked to do this photo shoot it wasn't like the others, the purpose to get family photos was not just a Christmas request, or a family session that no one really wanted to do. This session was for love. Love for a wife, a mother, a grandmother . . .Love for Jackie. Jackie was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after over a year struggling with health challenges. Given only a short time with her family, this session was to show her how much she is loved and to give her family the memories that they will cherish. I only see love in these images . . . .
