Tara + Darren

Comfortable. Real. Intimate.
This is the vibe I got while spending time with this fantastic couple back in Ausgust. They were so comfortable with each other while in front of my camera; I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so much to both of you for all your patience waiting for your images and for your wonderful hospitality on your big day. I had a great time!

Truly Beautiful.

This little angel (she really was)! I had the opportunity to photograph about a month back; in studio, which isn't my "thing" any longer, but it went smoothly considering how nervous I was. I had worked with her older brother a few years ago, back in the day when I REALLY didn't understand anything about photography! She was really a dream to work with and I hope her family is happy with the images I managed to capture in a relatively short amount of time; here is my fave image from the session.

My Prima Ballerina

Oh. My. Gosh. It really was one of her shining moments-to-date. All 5 of these little cuties were so sweet in their leotards and skirts (still trying to find one small enough for little Miss)! She definately wasn't the most coordinated or graceful, but she won for "awww" factor (in my opinion, at least)! The first photo is titled "Hungry Bums", as I believe 4 of the 5 dancers are plucking wedgies! The last photo is of Nevaeh....post ballet class meltdown; it was a BIGGIE! This kid NEVER naps, not ever; the fact that she fell asleep clutching her slipper made it all worthwhile (come ON, what a photo-op)!

PS - ...the quality isn't great as I was shooting through a window, but who CARES about quality when the subjects are this darned cute!

Spoiled.

Yes, I was....spoiled rotten by the Austin's and their unbelievable comfort in front of my lens. I just couldn't help but post a few more. And the last image is my fave of the day; makes me smile!
Did I mention I love my job?!

Magic.

A very small sneak for a wonderful couple I had the opportunity to shoot while away...you were such a sweet couple with wonderully creative ideas; it was a treat for me! These were taken the day after the "big day" at Hatley castle.

Lisa & Jason, thank you so much for being fabulous to work with and congratulations on getting hitched!!!

Another Delicious Newborn

Just check out this little doll! She is the daughter of a good friend of Brooke & Mark's, which Brooke SO KINDLY invited me to come over and get some shots. I'll take whatever newborn practice I can get before ours arrives so I'm able get some amazing shots for my own walls! Little Miss "A" was just over 2 weeks here and FINALLY fell asleep at the end of the session...thank goodness, because she was a squirmer!

Thanks again to Baby A's family for allowing me to be a part of her "first" photo session:)

Model Family

This truly was my favourite family to date.....I always get a little anxiety when shooting a family of five ( or ANY family, for that matter)! but the evening we shot this worked out like a dream:) I know most of the images are of the "little sis", but come on, do you blame me.....check out those BOOTS!! I will blog some more photos in the next coming days...
We did the shoot at Royal Roads University in Victoria, BC which is literally like being in another world.....a beautiful setting for a beautiful family.

Thank you so much to all of you for being such a treat!
