I met the Stevenson family when I was out photographing a family at the Finch Arboretum. I saw a dad trying to get a family portrait with a tripod & timer. Since I’ve done that with only mediocre results so many times in the past, I offered to grab a shot with their camera. Then after meeting some more people around the park I wandered by the family again and got some shots with my camera. I was happy to email the photo to them.

So I was pleased when Shawn (dad) asked me to take pictures of his family along with their cousins visiting from Arkansas. We got together at Manito Park and got as much as we could before the cold got to be too much.

Special thanks goes to Michael for helping with this session as well as Sadie Stevenson (the oldest cousin) for keeping her cousins entertained and smiling for the camera. She also took a picture (the last photo in this post of her cousin riding on his dad’s shoulders) which is good enough to include in this post as well as deliver. Great job Sadie!
