Roger photographed Ramona & Kevin’s wedding a few years ago, so it was such a treat to see them again and meet their feisty little man, Aiden. We met up with Ramona, Kevin & Aiden in Stanley Park for their family photo session late this fall. It was a super chilly day but Aiden did not want to wear his jacket. We played around together and captured some photos with them all playing together and hanging out. Aiden also didn’t want to pose to take pictures with Ramona & Kevin. We encounter this fairly often, a little one who just wants to do his own thing. Usually by playing together we build up trust and then we find that kids are more likely to pose in a more formal portrait for us. However, this time Aiden wasn’t having any of it. At one point Kevin put Aiden’s jacket back on and wow was he ever mad after that. Aiden took one look at me taking a picture of him in his cute Adidas track suit and a huge “No” erupted from him along with a kick in my general direction. I think the photo that I captured of that is pretty funny (one that Ramona & Kevin can tease Aiden with one day at his wedding!). So what did we do? Well, Roger brought out the jokes that every 3 & 4 year old loves – poo jokes. Roger pretended to fall over and then exclaimed that he landed in some poo and well, Aiden had to take a look. Then he could not stop giggling. It was super cute.

Thank you Ramona, Kevin & Aiden for a great family portrait session. We really had lots of fun with you.

See how great it worked? Everyone’s giggles are so cute in this pic.
