Marta & Szymon

This engagement session was soooo incredible. From getting to spend time with two lovely, genuine, and truly kind people, three beautiful locations that made me fall in love all over again with this amazing part of the world we live in, and wonderful weather with the most beautiful sunshine..I couldn’t have asked for a much better way to spend an afternoon ‘working’. This is why I love what I get to do for a job!

I had over 750 (!) images to edit, and it was so hard to narrow them down, and even harder to pick some to post on the blog…these two were super photogenic, and I don’t think either of them could take a bad picture!

I’m really looking forward to their wedding in April in Tofino, I know it’s going to be amazing.

Thanks again for a wonderful afternoon Marta and Szymon, I look forward to seeing you in Tofino on your big day!

Anyone recognize this location? North Vancouver is perfect for some urban shots.

I’ve been playing with texture a bit (as you will notice on a few images from this session), and I just love the depth and detail it adds to these photos.

Be sure to click on all the horizontal images, and especially the storyboards, to see them bigger. The sun was just amazing, and despite it being mid-January, it was nice and toasty warm outside.

The trees here were just incredible, and I love how the light filtered through them so perfectly.

I almost *did* kiss the ground (see image below to get the inside joke! :) ) we hiked on (literally, we were little mountain goats scampering over the hills at Whytecliff Park), and I almost biffed it a few times with my camera in hand. Fortunately we all escaped unscathed and with some great images to show for it. :)

I think this may be my very favorite of the session. I can’t decide if I like it in color:

or black and white better. What is your favorite?

And one more to share, just because I was having fun trying a few new things and Marta and Szymon were such good sports for all my different requests :)

Danielle

I was so excited when Danielle contacted me for the Belly to Baby Package and told me she was expecting twins. I’ve always had a special fascination with twins and remember being a little girl and desperately wishing I had an identical twin sister (kinda like Jessica & Elizabeth from Sweet Valley High! haha). Well Danielle and Matt’s two little boys can live out my childhood dream once they make their much awaited and anticipated appearance. I can’t wait to meet them for their newborn session.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the maternity session…I had a lot of fun with trying out some different belly shots.

I love the dramatic effect in this image:

And even though it was cold, rainy and windy, these two bravely ventured outside for a few images to complete the session. It was definitely worth it.

Thanks again Danielle and Matt. I look forward to seeing you, and meeting your boys, soon!

Happy New Year!

A very Happy New Year (and a belated Merry Christmas) to you all! I hope that you were all able to enjoy a wonderful holiday time with family and friends.

2007 was such an incredible year as I launched my business, and I owe a very special thank-you to all of you: my clients, my family, and my friends. You have all been so amazing, and I’m feeling very thankful and blessed as I reflect on the past year and look forward to the year ahead. I have some exciting things in the works, including a new logo, a new website and more. I’ll be sure to post updates as things progress :)

I’m just starting to resurface from a very busy Christmas. We had a fabulous time with family and friends, and things are just starting to settle back into normal after the fun and craziness of it all, and being sick (my voice is finally starting to return, thank goodness!). I am behind on emails, and I know some of you are patiently waiting for your session sneak peek…I promise I’ll be catching up on everything over the next few days. Thanks for your patience!
