They Grow Up So Fast

Back in 2000, I was utterly delighted to have the opportunity to work with this little pumpkin: two-year-old Skyler. We set up shop in my backyard in Sydney, Nova Scotia, and shot (get this) a roll and a half or so of film!



Fast forward 16 years and 5000 kilometres later to March, 2016 in Edmonton, Alberta, and "the girl in the pumpkin pictures" is now a grown 18-year-old.

Well, kinda. ;)


 

 But when she's serious? So intense.



 



When there's a text from a boy?
I get one of my favourite shots!


Little bit of magic on that penny board...


And just like that, another favourite!


 Then back to the front step to dust off the ego and nurse a bruised bottom. ;)


Then there's this one:
 

other than desaturation and the watermark, with no editing at all. <3 

This was definitely an awesome undertaking. I love seeing how much things have changed: from film to digital, from east to west, from tiny toddler to grown adult.  


 And I love seeing how much they've stayed the same:

a personality that's still just as bubbly and a smile just as absolutely infectious. <3
