What a beautiful Saturday. What a wonderful couple. What a place we live.
Campbell River, in all of its glory.
An amazing couple together with their adorable children, celebrate. Relaxed and happily.
That folks, is how you do it!!!
To say I’m enjoying creating images again, would be a huge understatement.
Although I’m trying to find and create a balance between being a new mom and a working new mom, I’m head over heels in love with photography. Completely.
I get to create images of amazing people, gorgeous children and wonderful families. I then get to share the images with them, and hear their response. Having images that I love and that I think are cool is one thing… creating photographs that will be cherished by families for years to come (and having them tell you so) is priceless. Totally priceless. I feel so lucky to be able to share my joy for life, light and capturing fleeting moments with so many people. It is an amazing bonus that there are so many people who enjoy my photographs. I can’t imagine a better way to spend my time away from my own little baby girl.
Thank you all for sharing in my joy.
Watching these two gorgeous grads in the evening light, made me realize that one day… I’ll be the parent watching my little girl get her photos taken in a field, with sunlight dancing on her face. Ok, who am I kidding, I’ll be photographing my little girl on that day!
In any case, Congratulations to all of the Grads of 2010.
I was you, yesterday. Or so it feels like. In fact it was 13 years ago, and I wasn’t looking anything like this! Soak it all up. The way you feel today, may not last. Embrace your ideas, your dreams, your hearts desires. Anything is possible. It truly is. Create your perfect life. Spread love. Contribute in positive ways. Reach for the light that is beyond your grasp. Wear a bikini. Laugh until you cry with friends, grandparents… everyone. Be better than you think you can be. Eat chips. Garden. Study the world, flowers, your hands. Everything changes. Dance in parking lots to music only you can hear, take care of your body. Hug your mom. Walk your dog more. Be more. Travel. Smell the air in Italy. Touch the pyramids. Do anything. Be more compassionate. Love more. You’ll be me before you know it, saying I was graduating 13 years ago. May you be able to say it with a nostalgic smile on your face.
OH! The Places You’ll Go!!!
I don’t know your story. The details. The particulars.
I don’t know what time you get up every morning, how you like your coffee, or even your favorite color. I don’t know how you might describe yourself, your son, your life. I don’t know a whole lot, looking through my lens. But the beauty of it all, is that I can feel it all. I can feel how he fills you up when he reaches for a hug. I can see your face become full of light as you watch him run towards us. I can feel the unbreakable, undeniable and unparalleled love between the two of you, and I can’t help but smile… from the inside out.
I don’t know your story, your details… but I know how much this little man means to you. Its a beautiful thing. I’m honored to be a part of your story, however small that part may be. May your road ahead be full of light and love and of course magic.
Who doesn’t want photos along the shores of the island that they love the most of the people they love the most. I mean really. A beautiful sunny day. A couple of gorgeous sisters. Absolutely fabulous. I’ve said it before, and I shall announce it again… I’m a lover of the wild west coast rain, but hallelujah for a little sunshine every now and then. Have a grand Thursday everyone.
If your family is all gumboots, umbrellas and rainbows… well, I’m in. A true west coast family on a typical Vancouver Island day. Awesome.
Its my pleasure to introduce you to Sarah and Dave and their small creations. It also happens to be Sarahs birthday today, so Happy Birthday Sarah!
May your year be filled with rain clouds and sun bursts, big smiles and rainbows.
