I love it when my sessions are Christmas gifts. The grandchildren of this family collectively wanted to gift their Nana a family session for Christmas. So this session has been in the works since December of last year. And guess what? We didn’t have to rechedule the date once!! Between the everchanging TN weather and the fact that life just happens, I was amazed we never had to change the session date.

Every year my family tries to do at least one family trip. This year we chose Canada. All of my mom’s immediate family lives there and my uncle was hosting a wedding reception/going away party for my cousin who recently got married in Norway (yes, this is the same cousin that had me photograph his wedding in Norway). So the real reason for going to Canada was to see family, but along the way we stopped at some national parks, rode bikes, and stopped along the rode many a time for pictures.

We started our trip in Calgary, driving to Yoho National Park, Banff National Park, Edmonton, and Waterton National Park.

My whole family(plus one of my besties) was present minus my brother and his little family.

I hope you enjoy reading and that it inspires you to visit the Great White North.
