A baby in their first week makes my heart melt. This sweetie is just stunning, so calm and even at this young age so full of expression. Welcome Jordan, it was an honor to capture your beauty....

In my make believe life I blogged each morning this week. In my real life I dealt with crazy computer issues this week and it seems like my brain is connected to the computer, when it is out of sorts, so am I.  The root of the problem has been solved and we are on the up and up. So let the...

The Bella Sessions are ON FIRE   - I am giddy about how fun they are, Chrystal is blowing us away with her makeup skill and the woman are moved by how stunning they look and how empowering the experience is - it`s all good. This beautiful woman has been in front of my camera many times,...

What a weekend. Saturday brought a little farmer's market time followed by beautiful Bella Sessions - stunning women! Sunday was a go-go-go day, as Christine and I were at the Comox Valley Wedding Show. The show was fantastic, we met so many warm enthusiastic people, and it is interesting talking...

Feeling like I need to sit here this morning and do some computer work, instead of heading out to the scheduled fit camp - but a quick pop over to Joel's blog turned me around. Joel Lamaroux has an incredible story, some of you might remember him from his day of host at Jet FM - but of course he...

One:There's a lot of people I want to be when I grow-up and the writer of the Simple Mom is one of them - check her out, she has good things to say about living green, living love and family life - and does it all in a down to earth non-preachy way. Two:I was floored by how many people read the...

No, we aren`t hiring but one of our wonderful clients and friends are and I thought we would jump in and spread the news. Podlings on Cliffe Ave is looking for a part-time employee (2-3 days a week, vacation relief and to cover sick days. The person should have retail experience, be reliable and...

Last night I had six amazing women in the studio for a Bella Party. The first. They showed up buzzing, we handed them a glass of wine, directed them towards some appetizers and then one by one they had their turn with our professional makeup artist. Meanwhile, they pulled out clothes, tried on each...

Lily and Simon cruised into my studio with their huge smiles, warm personalities and equaly captivating parents. Maybe it was the smiley sticker I had on my tummy the whole time, (which I didn't notice till after the shoot, because that is just how cool I am,) that made this session extra fun. Or...

My computer was activing out - like a four year old who has been to four birthday parties where they only served cake - so we are have come through computer reinstall joyfullness (add sarcasm here) which has overtaken our office life for the last few days. The good news: Our computer tech Matt from...

My computer, aka the mothership is going to a dr. appointment today. Time for the dreaded reformat. It will be a nail biting 48 hours as Matt from Covaltek computers axes the system and I reinstall all the software and data. We run a triple back-up system so my paranoia has no foundation, is a...

I know some of you are itching to see the results of the shoot that me and my gals did on Monday - they are coming. Also, we plan to announce some Chicks who Click news via the newsletter next week. Today though is love list day, because there is lots to love, we are talking BIG LOVE (speaking of...

On her sixth day Brooke graced me with her presence at the studio. This little angle slept through most of the day, which is the way we like it for newborn sessions. She is an absolute beauty. Her parents Jason and Kelly are big mountain bikers, and so apparently is...

I was a cat person or a no pet person. I had pets when I was little and loved them to bits, I didn't need to re-experience that. But then, my daughter entered grade one and to cope with the mama heartstrings this pulled at I decided we should get a dog and once I get my sights set on something I am...

All day yesterday I sat down to blog, thinking I would make a meaningful proclamation -  perhaps, a strong sentence to sum up last year or at least some inspirational words for the future.  It was the first day of the year and I am sure that a good blogger would be on top of it. But not...
