This shoot was so much fun! Mix an adorable baby, a vintage pram, and a beautiful garden, and you get some incredible baby pictures. These photos just killed me! His mom chose the perfect outfit when she found out I was planning on using my vintage baby carriage. I’m sure we got some strange looks pushing it around Park and Tilford Gardens in North Vancouver but I think it was so worth it! Click... [more]

Today’s session was at Stanley Park in Vancouver. I met a lovely girl named Yali who wanted some pictures done with her sweet dog Boss. He was energetic and curious, but cooperated long enough to get some great shots of the two of them together. Thanks Yali, for coming out. Your proofs will be up soon! Isn’t he so cute? I love dogs. They are loyal, fun, and always happy to see you.  [more]

This little girl got the starring spot in our very first session from our very first groupon offering! Her mom was quick to be the first booked, and what a way to start a fantastic wave of portrait sessions, never mind a great way to start my week! Just 7 days old and so tiny. I mean really really wee. And a perfect sleeping angel, that resulted in a great shoot, in the one hour we had together. “B”... [more]

Summer finally arrived in Vancouver and I think we all breathed a sigh of relief. And now it is hot, hot, hot here in the lower mainland. The bonus to living near the beach is that at least we get a breeze. I love summer and I especially love summer in Vancouver. Having such a beautiful area to choose from for photography, with such great backdrops is awesome. I got to photograph the H. family a couple... [more]

This week I got the privilege of cuddling some new baby squishy goodness. Oh how I love newborns. Their grunts and squeaks and sighs and those unconscious smiles. Photographing babies is definitely one of my most favourite things. This family found me through Megan and Micah, past clients of mine after seeing their newborn photos and falling in love with them. I love my clients, they rock! Here in... [more]

This is why I live. Why I do what I do, why I work so hard to give them a better life than I had, why I would throw myself in front of a train to save them. They hold my heart in their hands. Those grubby, little boy fingers have my heart firmly gripped, and to remove their hands, would be to stop me from breathing. Sappy maybe. I’ve been in a rough place in the last little while, I miss them... [more]

I am a mother. Becoming a mom was life changing and the moment my sons were born, their first cries, their first time in my arms, well if you are a mom, you know that feeling. Your whole life suddenly makes sense. I am, though not by choice, now a single mother and this life comes with it’s own sets of challenges. Who will plan things like mother’s day, my birthday, who will stuff my Christmas... [more]

After some pretty annoying and stressful technical difficulties with my website being down for three days (!!!), I am finally able to blog my recent newborn session. I had a temporary post over here, at my Livejournal, but I was so excited when I found that I was back online, so I can post here! The other day I got to hold and snuggle and cuddle the cutest brand new baby girl. Abrielle. Just six days... [more]

Every day for the past couple of weeks I have been dealing with a persistent and annoying tapping outside our bedroom windows starting early in the morning and continuing off and on all day. I discovered that it is thanks to a cheeky woodpecker who has taken to tapping a hole into the side of our home. If I come out and scare it away, he/she flies around to the other side and attacks the wall on the... [more]
