barnard family : cowichan valley family portraits

the barnard family holds a very special place in my heart. you see, their daughter and my daughter have been best friends for many years. and it’s because of the girls that our families have become  friends too.  it was such a pleasure to spend friday afternoon with them, capturing their family portraits. we didn’t have to travel very far to find an amazing location – these were taken in the forest in their back yard.

we’re so lucky to live in such a beautiful place! and so lucky to have such wonderful friends!

remember

the poppies sway in between the rows of barbed wire,

lest we forget the ones who have fallen,

perished, on their quest for peace,

letters home share the bad news,

tears and sorrow are heard for miles,

those who survive board boats, trains and cars,

sent home for the first time in years,

happiness and tears of joy fill the air,

celebration and grief are mixed together,

neighbors and friends lean on each other for support,

a time to remember,

the eleventh month,

silence in the eleventh hour,

the aftermath of the war.
