Although I'm glad to post this, there is a part of me that is so sad too. This family session marks the end of my scheduled sessions in Slave Lake for families affected by the wildfires. When I first started the sessions in the summer I went into it thinking that (and I hope no one takes this in an arrogant way) I was going to be helping the families in a very small way. It turns out, they helped me out way more than the other way! Not only have I booked more sessions than ever before, but they have given me an opportunity to keep things in perspective.
If anyone has any opportunity to go to Slave Lake and help families affected (trust me there's plenty of opportunity to help out!!), do it. You won't regret it. The strength that the families demonstrate will definitely make you think twice about taking things for granted in your own life.
I think these sessions ended perfectly. Having a personal connection with them (Kelly works with my dad), I was somewhat nervous. I had no reason to be.
Calvin, Kelly, Tyson and Sarah...again I can't say thank you enough for letting me come and hang out with you guys for a bit. You have a beautiful property and I enjoyed exploring it with you guys. You guys have the rare ability at setting people at ease and I appreciated it more than you will know. You guys are beautiful outside and in, and I hope your photos reflect that.
Thank you so much Nurkowski family!! :)
