A big warm hug, and words of welcome along with a lesson in how to make the perfect cup of hot cocoa. These are some of my first memories of Conroy and Sheila. We stepped into their little green house in Steinbach just about 19 years ago and I felt welcomed immediately. Garth and I had been recently engaged and I went to his place for New Year's Eve. I felt like part of the family right away. Conroy teased me like a brother would, Sheila told me stories and I was instantly part of the family. Not much has changed and for that I'm thankful. Sheila still has amusing stories to share and has morphed into a great older sister and Conroy is even more like my brother!
There is always something going on in that house of theirs. A game being played at the table, someone jumping on the trampoline, guests sitting around the firepit in the backyard......this Koop house is full of action. We have been blessed enough to share in the day to day with Con, Sheila, Savannah, Joe and Mitch on and off for a few years. It's great having family a short bike ride away, it makes Calgary seem much smaller!
I had a great time with these guys. It had been over 10 years since we last met for a family photo, so things had definitely changed! But one thing hadn't, it was still interesting getting them to all look at the camera at the same time, somebody was always laughing or saying something to make someone laugh. It was a great afternoon. Enjoy the images...I sure enjoyed shooting them!
