Newfoundland Family Portraits | The Ash Family Portraits

Last time I was in Newfoundland, I was disappointed that the weather didn't cooperate for me to take photos of my cousin Danielle's children, Gregory and Lauren. This time we made it a priority, and despite freezing cold temperatures, we had a dry day, and got them done.

When we tried to decide on a location, there were several places we discussed, but the only choice was clear to me. We took the photos at the fishing stage that belongs to Gregory's Grandfather Bill. Of course, before Bill, it was my Grandfather's and his fathers and his fathers, maybe even his father before him. It's been in our family a very long time and I am proud to say that it is still operational. Bill still runs his fishing operation there today. It is also still busy with nosy children- just like it was when I was a nosy child!

I am so glad we got to shoot these this time around. I am also very glad that we found this old chair. Gregory is super helpful, so he offered to move it out of the way. Of course, I thought it was the best find EVER. I have no idea who owned it before, or how long it had been outside in the elements, but I am very glad it was! Check back later to see photos I took later that day with my beautiful sister Maggie in our impromptu photo shoot. I am so excited that Gregory took the chair and put it away for safe keeping. I have big plans for it next August when I come home again!

Thanks to Danielle and the kids for coming out in the cold to get these done. I am really glad we did!
