I have been blessed in my life to have some truly amazing friends, and I count Lisa as one of them. Lisa and I met in grade eight and developed a fast friendship over murder mysteries, jazz hands, and our mutual love of Winnie the Pooh (and Piglet too). Over seventeen years and many memories later, we have remained close, no matter the distance. I know that I can turn…

The Way She Views Dress Up {Personal Project | Victoria, B.C.}
Oh my little – three and a half and a personality bigger than life. Lately she has taken to dressing herself, often with over the top, hilarious results. It is so much fun to watch her grow and develop in to such a funny little girl. This month’s Clickin’ Mom’s blog theme is “How I View Dress Up”, and I thought I would let her outfit speak for itself –…

Greg & Debbie {Maternity Photography | Saanichton, B.C.}
Greg and Debbie are expecting their second fall baby (Miss T arrived in October three years ago), and Debbie suggested a shoot at Michells Farms to fit the fall theme. I was excited and totally up for it! It was a beautiful day (more or less, pesky clouds!), and Miss T managed to pick out some great pumpkins to use as props (and take home). I love themed sessions, and…

Lindsay & Ben {Couples Photography | Victoria, B.C.}
These two are one of the best couples I know. They are perfect for one another and so in love. This session was a tonne of fun and easy for me – they are totally relaxed with each other, and as much as Ben pretended he was a “Chandler”, it couldn’t be further from the truth. “The best things in life are unseen… that’s why we close our eyes when…

Amber & Ben {Maternity Photography | Metchosin, B.C.}
I have to start off by saying how excited I was when Amber contacted me for a maternity session! I have photographed a lot of babies this year, but not as many bellies. Add to that the fact that Ben and Amber (and their dog!) were all super adorable, Amber brought along great props, and the light was amazing – I could have stayed there and photographed them all day!…

The Way I View Summer {Personal Project | Parksville, B.C.}
One of my favourite activities of this summer has to be our trip to Parksville. This was our family’s second annual trip, and it really has come to signify the start of summer vacation for me. I have so many great memories – swimming in the pool, kite flying, bonfires, Mooberry wine (if you haven’t tried it, you need to!), endless hours at the playground, and relaxing with some of…

The C Family’s Sunset Session {Family Photography | Victoria, B.C.}
We may not be having the most sunshine-y summer here on the island, but Mr. Sun has been kind enough to shine down for all of my sunset sessions thus far! This is the C family. We met up at Goldstream Park for a fun session with lots of jokes, funny faces and laughs. These are seriously hilarious kids, and so sweet. Little miss C even invited me to come…

Just the Girls {Portrait Session | Victoria, B.C.}
I’d like to introduce you to some of my most very favourite people! I work with these ladies, and they are amazing – a barrel of laughs, and absolute sweethearts. They wanted to do a portrait session capturing their friendship, and I was more than happy to oblige {especially since they took me to Bin 4 afterwards – umm, yum!}. Thanks so much pretty ladies – I love you all…

The Way I View Fatherhood {Personal Project | Parksville, B.C.}
I find it ridiculously hard to believe that July is here already! We just came home from an amazing week in Parksville – lots of sand, surf and smores. I can’t wait to post some of the photos, including an adorable shoot with my daughter and niece. With July comes another round of “The Way I View” project on Clickin’ Moms. This month’s theme is “fatherhood”. You’ve heard my perspective…

The Way I View Happiness {Personal Project | Victoria, B.C.}
I am so excited to be joining a twelve month project over on Clickin’ Moms called “The Way I View ___________________”. Each month a new theme is posted, and members in the group express through photography how they view that theme. This month’s theme is happiness, and this is the way I view it – a beautiful spring day with nothing more to worry about than looking good in your…
