The Balfour’s: Kelowna Family

When I first got an email from Jessica asking if I would take their family photos, I thought she had sent it to the wrong person. Seriously. I was tempted to email back, “uh this is embarassing, but you got the wrong person!” haha. Jessica is an amazingly incredible photographer here in Kelowna! I creep her work all the time and drool over it! Check out her work here.

When I first moved to Kelowna, I noticed that Jessica was also a part of the Helping Hearts organization. We met for coffee and chatted about life, photography and everything else! I was so intimidated to meet her, but the minute we started talking I LOVED her! She is so easy to talk to, so laid back and one of the sweetest and nicest people I have ever known!

Jessica has the 4 most gorgeous kids in the whole world. I could have photographed them all day long! Her two girls are breathtaking, and spitting images of Jessica! Gorgeous! Her two boys are the youngest and are just adorable! Their bright blue eyes are the best! :) And last but not least, her and her handsome hubby Darren are perfect together! I loved getting a few of just the two of them.

We met a few weeks ago at City Park, and then headed back to Jessica’s studio in downtown Kelowna to get some indoor photos.

Jessica it was so great to meet the rest of your family! They are truly beautiful! I am so glad to have you as a friend, and am slightly nervous to show you your pics! haha jk…kinda.

I hope you guys have the best Christmas together! :)
