The Zimmerman & Taft Family

Jul 25, 2013 Portrait
earlier this month i had the pleasure to drive out to Rondeau Provincial Park, in Ontario, Canada to document an incredible family.

this session was a 40th anniversary gift for Paul & Kathy, parents of Julie & Jeff.
in Julie's words,
"Rondeau Park has been a special place for my family. Both Grandparents (my mom's side and my dad's side) owned a cottage in Rondeau Park and my parents ended up meeting there! The cottage that is now in my family used to be my Grandpa Zimmerman's. I thought that this being the weekend of my parents 40th wedding anniversary would make the perfect time to do this!"

needless to say, to be able to do the session at such a special place was such an honor.

below are quite a few of my favorites (it was SO hard to narrow it down!) however be sure to check out the slideshow at the end of this post for even more images from their session.

you may also remember Julie & Marc from their engagement session & wedding day. well, since then they have added their uber SWEET & beautiful daughter Grace - absolutely LOVED meeting & capturing her!

Paul, Kathy, Julie, Marc, Grace, Jeff, Kalie & Burton -- THANK YOU all for inviting me so lovingly into your cottage & summer life at Rondeau Park. your family & bond is truly inspiring... i hope the images make you all smile BIG! with much love & gratitude, always, ksen

the original Zimmerman family...
plus a little sweet addition who couldn't help herself!
as i was leaving, i also took some photos around the cottage & park...
because it is the little things that always matter most.
...and although the smells cannot be captured,
the memories of this place can at least be stamped into this special time today.
oh, Canada!
Thank you Zimmerman & Taft family,
as well as Rondeau Provincial Park,
