when I first met Sarah & Mike, I had an immediate connection with both of them… you know when you meet someone and you are so comfortable, you feel as if you’ve known them forever? it was just like that and I knew it was going to be an absolute pleasure to work with them. I’m happy to say, I was right! they live in Alberta and we scheduled their engagement shoot well in advance for a weekend they were home in Vancouver. we had so much fun shooting that day, starting off at Jericho in the gorgeous shade of the park and then down to the beach… and then we headed off to UBC where Sarah & Mike are both long-time alumni. it was such a good day, I didn’t even mind the fact I was working on Mother’s Day… mainly because they are so much fun to hang out with! but also because, as a Mother’s Day gift, my fabulous daughter came along with me to assist. I love having her with me when I’m working because it feels so much less like work… and she even got a few awesome shots off as well! like the one in the upper right of this series… it was such a nice compliment to my up-close images. she actually got quite a few great shots that day… what can I say, my kid rocks. and apparently takes good photos, too!
Sarah and Mike, thank you for sharing yourselves so naturally that day! I am soooo looking forward to your wedding in few weeks…

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!)…..

enjoy!

one of the many things I love about my job is keeping in touch with my wedding clients. I first met Leanne & Matt when I had the pleasure of photographing their gorgeous Kelowna wedding back in September of 2008…
when I heard from Leanne they were expecting a baby in the Spring, we headed down to the beach in West Van to do a little impromtu pregnancy shoot to capture her beautiful belly. I forgot how easy it was to photograph these two. they certainly make my job an easy one…
and then… their beautiful baby girl, Ella was born in March of this year! newborns are so precious to photograph and Ella was no exception. she slept through most of our shoot and I used the opportunity to capture the beautiful bond between Ella and her very lucky parents…
Leanne and Matt, it has been such a pleasure to document and share in your amazing journey and I wish you both a lifetime of joy and happiness with your gorgeous new daughter!
