Brother & Sister

Kids are so much fun to photograph! I especially love it when kids like to pose and really enjoy getting their photo taken. When this brother & sister came to have some photos taken they were thrilled to try out any type of pose. Both of them are super photogenic and really sweet too. Here are some of my favourites... Their Mom even agreed to have some photos taken. What an attractive family!

Beautiful Redheads

I had so much fun photographing this cute family. I took over 400 photos and I could have photographed them for the rest of the day! The girls were so giggly and the redhair was so beautiful in my studio. I put up some of my favourites and I think you will love them too!

Leeah & Kevin's Engagement Photos

Leeah & Kevin are getting married in September and I am really excited to photograph their wedding! They came by to get some engagement photos taken in my studio and then we stepped out into the sunshine. What a beautiful February day with a fun couple. Here are some of my favourites....

Why and How to Choose a Wedding Photographer?

I have been asked many times why a bride-to-be should choose a photographer for their wedding day. I usually provide the following advice:

- Your photographer should know how to look for the right location at the right time of day with the right background.
- Your photographer should have worked in many locations and under many diverse situations and should know how to adapt to anything that comes up on your hectic day. If it rains (which it does alot in vancouver) can they handle it?
- The wedding day is full of emotion and can be stressful, so a photographer should set your mind at ease by taking charge of your wedding pictures to smoothly and efficiently portray your day.
- Your photographer should have several examples of full day weddings that they have shot. Ask to see them and ask if you can contact those clients. Your photographer should be able to provide references.
- Meet several photographers and see if their style and personality will fit into your wedding day.

I have been married for 10 years this year and my wedding photos are still my most treasured item from the day (besides my husband). Have fun!

Coffee with Friends

One of the great things about doing what I do is that I get to meet some amazing people. I have also met some great photographers over the years! One great photographer that I have had a chance to get to know over the years is Audra. Today we met up for coffee to chat about photos; other wedding vendors and our kids. I have always loved Audra's photos and she even photographed my whole fun family in the summer. Thanks for the caw-fay chat today :)

Vancouver Sunrise

I always feel very lucky that I get to live in such as beautiful city! This morning at 7am there was an amazing sunrise so I took the opportunity to snap a few photos from my patio.

Snow, Sun, Rain...Oh my!

We have had a pretty eventful month with the weather in our area! Christmas brought with it so much snow and by New Year's Eve; even my kids were getting tired of all the snow!

Here they are enjoying some of the snow on Christmas Eve!

Then we enjoyed a period of sun; so we headed to the park....

Now today we had the buckets of rain! So outside we went for a rain walk!

No matter what the weather is...be a kid; head outside and enjoy it!
