Month: September 2012

Meeting Pria was  wonderful. For those of you who have been to the studio, you have seen a photo of her big sister  Garnett,- in it she is wearing a princess outfit and sitting regally in a chair on a big pile of dirt. It is a favourite of mine. It reminds me to let kids, my kids, be themselves....

Who would have thought that the sun would still be gifting us with its presence so strongly into September? It was such  a beautiful morning when I met the Gillis family for their photo session. The warmth set the stage for a lovely morning of shooting. What an amazing family! The kids are so...

One aspect of my life that is non-negotiable is exercise. My big challenge though, is, honestly, I don't really like it. I would rather be reading, photo-shopping or (eeek) baking. As well as having many other things I would rather do with my time I also find going to the gym boring - well, I used...

This was a very special session. I first became her family's photographer when I photographed Mikhaila's high school graduation, but  we really got to know each other during the planning sessions for her wedding to Greg. Their wedding was celebrated on a beautiful beach in Maui, I came home...

The sun shone as guests travelled on the water taxi to the romantic, vintage style location of Newcastle Island Provincial Park near Nanaimo, BC. The bride beamed, even before she modelled her first wedding dress, (yes, she had a ceremony and reception gown,) and once she put it on, jaws...

As a mom myself I know how valuable these annual photos or your children are. Especially once they hit school age, we tend to not take as many snapshots of them and the school photos can be one of the only records of their changes throughout the years. I also know that the photos you receive...

Four years ago this lovely family hired me for photography coverage of a dad Shawn's birthday. I love it. I loved them. So when they were back visiting again from their California home I was thrilled that they contacted me for family photographs. Shawn, Carrie, Annabella and Cassandra - you are a...

They have known each other forever. He was her brother's best friend. Dave. He kept popping up and became like family. Now he is. Under a blanket of beautiful summer storytelling clouds, holding back tears, expressing laughter, with their stunning and caring wedding party next to them Jennie and...
