I grew up in a family with 12 cousins (on just one side) who were all born within 9 years of each other! If you have cousins then you’ll know what a blessing they can be. Between the 12 of us we now have 10 children of our own! It was such an honour to have the opportunity to photograph my beautiful cousin Ruth & her family as they welcome their newest member, Theodore.
My cousin Ruth is an amazing artist in Toronto, ON & she surprised me during her session with the most amazing gift she could have ever given me! A friend & fellow photographer took this cherished photo of my husband & I. Ruth saw it on Facebook & it inspired her to paint this gorgeous work of art. Best surprise EVER!
The original photograph was taken by Nicole Kathlyn & Painting by Ruth Oosterman

Now, it’s my turn to surprise Ruth & her family… Enjoy your photos!

If we give of our time, our gifts, & our talents to the people we love with all our hearts; if we can do that without expecting anything in return, then the world becomes a beautiful place!
