Good Friends and some BEAUTIFUL kids {Chatham Kent and Southwestern Ontario Family Photographers}

I have known Melissa for many years now! Funny in ways it doesn't seem that long ago when we met, on our way to Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, to work in orphanages. But it was in fact, many years ago. In fact, we were still in our teenage years :)
We had many adventures during our year together in Ukraine. Working with some amazing kids, skipping the country to re-new visa's, getting to visit Budapest, Hungary, learning a new language, learning to love new foods and missing the foods from home. Meeting some amazing people!
I stayed for almost 3 more years, marrying my best friend (who is not from Ukraine but from Chatham as well) and adopting our oldest daughter. Melissa also went on to marry her best friend, Jeremy. They have been world travellers themselves, living in Korea for a few years, and travelling to Ethiopia to bring their beautiful daughters home!
Now that we are both living in Canada (although still a few hours from each other) it is nice for our families to grow up together. My girls adore these girls!!!!
It was my pleasure to take them out for a family shoot last time they were down for a visit.

What a good looking family :)
