Most families that book me for photographs can be pretty much guaranteed to play my favourite game at their session. It’s a little something I like to call “5 Nice, 5 Silly” and it’s generally a huge hit with the kids. Smile nicely for 5 photos that are guaranteed to bring tears of joy to mom’s eyes; be totally silly for 5 photos and even then grown-ups have to be silly. I’m never quite sure what mom & dad will do, but most of the time, they are good sports and they’ll play along.
Grandparents tend to be a wild card for “5 Nice, 5 Silly”. Some stick out their tongues, some smile placatingly, and others are 100% ALL IN. With the Chin family, grandma was the latter – she was totally game to be a goofball and make faces for the camera. And the kids loved it! Clearly, she is a much-loved figure in their lives, and I’m so glad I got to capture these photos at Diefenbaker Park for the Chin family, in honour of her 70th birthday.
