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.
This past Saturday marks the beginning of my career postpartum. Life can now be defined to some extent as before Maisie and after.
Having a two month old baby, and getting back to work full time has its fair share of challenges. But, we are doing our best. The challenges aren’t exactly during the sessions, or during the weddings… its the before and afters that are proving to be tricky. So, be gentle with me. If it takes me a day or two longer to respond, or call back etc… just know that it may feel like I’m ignoring you, but I promise, I’m not. I’m just doing my best to ensure that my 9 week old baby isn’t neglected, and has more love than she needs from me to get her through the times when I can’t be there for her. When I get to the wedding, the session, the meeting. I’m there 100%, and am loving it. However that wouldn’t be possible if I felt like my little Maisie wasn’t being taken care of 100%.
So, the emails and call backs may take a day or two longer, but my baby is happy and healthy and loved. To me, its the only way.
In saying that, I can’t imagine starting off my wedding season with anyone else but Sean and Kate.
A beautiful day at Dolphins Resort, stunning bride, gorgeous guests, loving family members… a perfect way to spend my Saturday.
Warm, inviting, and full of love. This day, was perfect.
I love how Kate just radiates. Amazing.
I also love how much I love photography.
It’s good to be back.
Bryce’s mom always told him to “surround yourself with good people”.
I can’t say that I disagree.
We are so lucky to have such wonderful, kind, loving people in our lives. We are truly surrounded with good people. Big hearts go a long way with us. I’m all about the big hearts.
Shannon has a heart that is truly unparalleled. She is a gem. Bryce, Maisie, Frank and I are better with her in our lives. We smile more, laugh more, and certainly love more. Shannon works with me. Creates magic with me. Dreams up wild ideas with me. Inspires me. She picks me up 9+ months pregnant (when I was miles from laughter) and brings sunshine. We chase rainbows, wild skies and speak in a language all of our own. She turns everything into art. Her presence in our life, is a true masterpiece.
In the rain, the pouring rain… we don’t even need the sun to show up, as Shannon brings it with her.
To celebrate life and love, we ventured out in the pouring rain to photograph her world. Of course, the sun came with her. She brought it out of the clouds. Congrats to you and Ryan on your recent engagement. We love you guys more than words, and are so very excited to join in on every adventure along the way. May we all grow old together (well… not in the same house, but close). xoox
The fabulous Sako pup showing off some of his very best moves
For some reason, Sako decided that the photoshoot was the perfect time to be the most wild. Of course.
Teeny toes, baby feet.
So soft, delicate, perfect.
They had never touched the ground.
The first contact with the ocean and land.
Documented. Shared. Beautiful.
I’ve always favored the sea. Loved the smell, the depth, the movement. Have lived close to, or lived on it. It only seemed right, that Maisie should touch the sea before she touched the earth.
