A Family in the Fog

Last weekend when it was all foggy in Calgary I did a shoot with a nice family. I wasn’t so sure about the foggy weather for such a shoot, but after seeing the photos I really like them because the fog provided a unique backdrop. Unique to Calgary anyhow, since it’s not always foggy around …
