Sneak Peek// beautiful baby Avery

Mon, 13 May 2013 10:42:00 -0700

Introduing baby Avery…. ta-da!

I tend to do a lot of photo sessions in Steveston, so the trick is to make each session look different. I photographed Shannon and Jeff in Steveston for their wedding, so I wanted to make sure that the pictures didn’t look similar. We started out at the Georgia Cannery and then finished off at the park. It was a really hot may day so we also wanted to keep cool.

Just a couple of shots for now….

Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

Sneak Peek// Baby London

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:22:00 -0700

I have never seen a baby with so much hair! In my book, little baby London wins the newborn style award.

One of the perks of my job is being one of the first people to see the baby, as I normally photograph them in the first week. In this photo, London is 1 week old. Happy one week London!

Just a few photos for now…

Introducing baby Isla.

She is probably one of the smallest babies I have ever seen and she is so cute with all her hair.

Congratulations Carrie + Greg!

Congratulations Liat + Howard! I had a blast shooting your engagement session. Love you both and the fact that you can get your boots on and go from city chic to beach grunge in no time. I love the diversity of these shots and I can barely wait to show you more.

Denise + Ryan // Winter Wedding at Minoru Chapel

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 13:32:00 -0800

I have absolutely loved getting to know Denise + Ryan. They are so much fun!

Denise and Ryan tied the knot at Minoru Chapel in Richmond on a not-so-rainy day in January. (you don’t get to say that often!) Denise’s gown was absolutely stunning and her red shoes and flowers matched Ryan’s Red Serge perfectly.

I love how their whole day was full of such raw emotion as well as roaring laughter. From the morning headline in the Globe and Mail (see photo below), to the tears at the alter and the animated photobooth late in the evening. It was a LOT of fun to be a part of this wedding.

Thank you so much for having me! I can’t wait to show you more!

Kristina + Jason // Elegant Sutton Place Hotel Wedding

Wed, 13 Feb 2013 09:10:22 -0800

I absolutely adore every detail of this elegant winter wedding at the Sutton Place Hotel in Vancouver. Kristina + Jason got married on one of the most gorgeous sunny days in January and I was extremely honoured to be a part of their day. The ceremony and reception took place in the Versailles ballroom with it’s stunning chandeliers and lovely light damask wallpaper. In the evening the tables were set with black candelabras and black metallic champagne flutes and the room was dotted with white flowers and bold black chairs. This was one beautiful black tie affair!

Besides the decor and immaculate details, Kristina and Jason are such a fantastic couple. I loved all of their personal details from the pinapple shortbread cookies all the way from Hawaii, (a sentiment to share from the place where Jason proposed), the handwritten emotional vows and the handmade wedding cake made by Jason’s aunt.

Thank you so much for having me be such a big part of your amazing wedding day. Congrats again!

Venue: Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver

The Rieveley's at Jericho Beach

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:19:00 -0800

This little cutie liked to run! It was quite the workout following Felix around. A lot of people think it is a challenge for me when kids don’t want to sit still, however I think it makes the photos more authentic. I love taking photos when kids are being themselves, as that is when their little (or big!) personalitlies shine through. Felix ran around, climbed the big tree logs, and got in the sand to make sandcastles. In between running around we also played some games so we could get a few shots with mom and dad. I adore how these turned out.

Playtime with Bodhi + Luna

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:03:31 -0800

Quite a few months back, little Luna was born and Bodhi became a big brother. I photographed the family at the house to keep things comfortable and warm for little Luna. The light was beautiful and I got some great shots of everyone playing together. Guitars, Drums and brother/sister cuddles were all part of the fun. I really like how some of the black and white images turned out (I processed them a little differently than I normally do) and the kids are absolutely adorable. Especially when Bodhi is having fun being a big brother.
