It was 3:30 in the afternoon and a perfect temperature of 24C. Everyone was dressed in lovely black and whites and Kildonan Park was shady; the perfect spot for photographing this large family of 14. Unfortunately, there was one very big problem and that was the mosquitoes. You wouldn’t think they would be so bad in the middle of the afternoon, but they were. There were swarms of them and even though I had some mosquito repellent along, it didn’t seem to stop them from trying to bite us.

Just be warned if you venture into the park. The Forks was not this bad and neither is Kilcona Park.

We got some amazing shots in spite of constantly trying to fight off mosquitoes and I thank this family for their endurance.

Here’s a sneak peek!
