last Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing 180 little girls (and one boy!), ages 2 through 7 dancing their hearts out on stage at Capilano University Performance Arts Theatre. my good friend and client, Alix Dunham of Pink Petal Ballet has been dancing her whole life and teaching kids to love dance for the past 17 years. to see her work her magic with these adorable kids at Pink Petal Ballet’s year end performance is a joy to be shared…






the combination of all of those sweet faces in their adorable costumes made me take waaaaaaayyy too many photos! as a result, I couldn’t resist creating a very special slideshow from a bunch of my favourites.
simply click on this link below and get ready to smile (don’t forget to turn up your speakers!)…..

when I was a kid, I loved a good road trip. getting in the car and driving, the road in front of you and no particular place to be… now that I HAVE a kid, I love a road trip even more! what a great way to get away and have fun and explore. my daughter and I took off for 10 days over Spring Break and flew into San Francisco. what a gorgeous city! so much to see and do… our plan was to spend a few days doing the tourist thing and then rent a car and drive south on the scenic Pacific Coast Highway and see where it took us. but first, San Fran!


between shopping and sightseeing and sleeping and eating, we rode the cable cars and even visited Alcatraz. we soaked up the feel of the city on the streets of San Francisco. although I have to say, Haight Ashbury was quite a trip… in more ways than one!

stopping to stock up on tunes for the road trip portion was also a must… and what do you know? we just happened to find a great music store in the neighbourhood.

stay tuned for the second, and more scenic part of the trip! so many photos, way too many to choose from…
things that make me happy:
- American Idol
- taking my dog to the beach
- booking (and shooting!) weddings
- watching my Spring bulbs bloom in the garden
- road trips with my daughter
and, lastly…

it has been months in the making and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. my web designer, Stephen at Blender Design did an amazing job! thank you, Stephen for all your hard work.
a huge thank you also, to all my wonderful clients who put their trust in me and gave me the opportunity to create these beautiful images over the past few years.
feel free to sit back, turn up the volume and take a look through the site.
enjoy!
