Born in Quarantine - Kira Marianne Rankin

Thank you to all the amazing family, friends, artists, past clients and healthcare workers who have helped us financially and mentally through all of this. The love we have received will never be forgotten.

Our daughter Kira came into the world March 31st. Little does she know it is a much different world than the one we all came into. This is a photo story I put together document her first month on this pale blue dot in the cosmos.

Grant Family - Point Edward, Cape Breton

It was fantastic to meet up with the Grant family in Point Edward (near Sydney) this month for a shoot in their yard. It was a great shoot with two adorable boys, their grandparents and great-grandparents! We had a lot of fun and I found out they were friends with my wife's uncle and aunt out west. It's a small world. 

Alexis, Josh and Family - Mabou, Cape Breton

We always love catching up with friends and were happy to get some shots of Alexis, Josh and their kiddos while they were down for Thanksgiving. Smithville was the perfect setting for some Fall family photos.
