How times have changed during COVID but one thing that hasn’t is family. I had the pleasure of doing a family session with these beautiful people, the Nadi family. I’ve known them for some time now and we managed to stick in a session. Went for an alternative to the standard “park” photo shoot with the family, we did an urban/contemporary vibe in the exchange in Winnipeg.
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe but, in the end all comes down to family. And that’s quality.
I had the pleasure of catching Samar and Anika together for a couples portrait session. Their story starts in High School and is continuing to this day. Going into this shoot, I had some things in mind that I wanted to do specifically but once we started shooting everything just fell into place on its own.
These two are amazing to see together and watching them leaves no shadows of doubt that true love is written in the stars and cosmos.
I had the pleasure of shooting Reza's surprise proposal to Aida back in December, and what a reaction we got...tears of joy and lots of love and laughter from all the family. Watching the two of them together was another story, they are so into each other that it was no problem catching them with this shoot we did in downtown Winnipeg. Forget directing, it felt as though I was watching a film on Netflix...live.
Here it is, the continuation from the outtake. The Mohie family session from St. Vital Park in sunny Winnipeg. We had a lovely time taking a stroll and shooting. To see the love between a family and experience their magic is truly a blessing, and being witness to the interaction and banter makes moments like these come to life.
Hope you enjoy as much as I do.
David proposed to Anita at Richardson Airport here in Winnipeg. He was taking Anita out to dinner and told her he needed to stop in to work (at the airport) and quickly do something work related. Anita patiently sat and waited in arrivals as people from a flight were collecting their bags. David then came down the escalator, flowers in hand and among the remaining arrivals, took to one knee and asked Anita if she would marry him. Surrounded by the "awe" of the passengers, she said yes. Cue the applause, and they started their magical journey.
