{{Parenteau Fun at Rosedale Mall}}

I think it might be vaguely illegal to take photographs inside a mall. I mean....no one stopped us, so it must not be.

Maybe only if you are photographing brand names and such.

Instead of an adorable family.

I've known Angie and Jake since we were in high school youth group together.

I attended their wedding.

I met Dylan as an infant at a baby shower and a time or two after.

I took maternity photos when Angie was pregnant with Alyson.

I met Alyson a few days after she was born.

And I haven't seen them since. Sure, there was the occasional Facebook message and well intentioned suggestion.

But four years!

And then we finally did it! We found a day and time. And we sat at the same table for Sunday brunch!

We planned on going to a park and taking some family photos, but of course it rained.

So we popped in to Rosedale Mall, found a few benches, and took some pretty excellent photographs.

Who needs a studio or good weather anyway?
