Storm chasing | Klutch Photography | Vancouver family photographer

as the worst wind and rain storm in 50 years (so they're saying) thunders down upon us, most folks are making the right choice in getting cozy with a hot cup of coco and a good movie!

not us.

we get inappropriately dressed, and hit the ocean for a photo session!  Perhaps it's that I'm pissed off that I had to reschedule a full day of quickie sessions tomorrow because of this beastly wind and rain that got me (and my camera) all fired up to do battle with it this evening or maybe its just to add another layer to the girls onions. probably both! either way, it was memorable.

Blackie Spit was about 50% washed out, it was an incredible site.

My kids rocked their low-tec summer like a boss | Klutch Photography | Vancouver family photographer

my kids don't own a phone, ipod,  ipad....or a computer.  their 10 (soon to be 11) and 8. 

why the fuck should they!?  they're kids!?

steve jobs (the co-founder & CEO of apple) had a low tec family. why? because technology & kids (in large quantities) don't mix well and i agree!  numerous studies have shown this to be true and to be perfectly honest...it's hard enough monitoring tv time and the xbox- let alone fighting over hand help MOBILE devices.

here's the thing, your a kid...GO PLAY OUTSIDE!

or draw,  or play red rover, go jump on your tram(oline), go play with your friends...and yes CALL them on the PHONE, you know that thing that's connected to the wall by wires!

and guess what- they did, with no real complaints...they rocked their low-tec summer like a boss. i absolutely love their child like imaginations and wonder without it being technology fuelled. yes, they got into boat loads of trouble and it was all good trouble, kids exploring their world trouble! i'll take that any day over a quiet plugged in child zombie.

my kids will have MANY years to use technology but sadly they only have a few years left to just be children doing child like things!

EBL summer 2016 | Klutch Photography | Vancouver family photographer

 My EBL top ten summer list 

1. learning at our howdown that i have a "gift" at flip the cup after 41 years

2. visiting the junk yard three times in under a week (unearthing 1960's junk was very enjoyable for me, shocker).

3. sleeping for 10 + hours each night for over a week-i think the years worth of missed sleep was catching up with me.

4. hiking the "sands look out" and having to keep up with all these fit people (or else I could have become a cougar snack).

5. our first family campfire just the four of us (minus the local redneck attending it for about an hour)

6. community pizza party at R & C place and all the other gathering on land and water!

7. night surfing and watching the shooting stars.

8. watching my kids have so much fun.

9. having one of my besties rent a place up there for four days along with seeing another  neighobr hood family by chance at the lake!

10. trying surfing again (with a helmet) after getting 7 stiches last year from it.
