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.

Beautiful People

I first met Chris, Amber and their gorgeous children about three years ago, when I was still shooting studio images out of my parents house here in Campbell River. Meeting with them again last week, reminded me not only of what a gorgeous family they are… but of how far I’ve come in three years.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. To all of my past clients, thank you for having faith in my abilities. To all of my past turned current clients, thank you for continually trusting your families precious memories with me. To all of my future clients, I look forward to creating images with you as well. Thank you Amber, Chris, Cameron and Lauren!!! Hoping your move across the country is as painless and smooth as possible!

The island will miss you!!!

I am so in love with these next two images! If they were my children… these would be HUGE in my home!

I love Laurens face here.

Good luck on this new phase of your lives! May it be absolutely perfect.

Robyn, Lukas and Adelyn

This was one of those wedding, that I knew… without a doubt would be perfect.

Lukas is the most organized self proclaimed groom-zilla I’ve ever encountered. Definitely not in a negative way, but in a hilarious, obsessive list writing, detail focused sort of way. Note: matching his tie to his baby girls dress. Not only adorable, but rather endearing don’t you think? In any case, their wedding was sunny, and bright, and full of love, and smiles, and laughter. The whole experience was exactly as I had suspected, perfect.

Robyn and Lukas chose to have their photos with their wedding party and their ‘not so formal’ portraits done pre ceremony, which I really love. I think it allows everyone to look fresh and flawless for the photos, and then continue on their wedding day to pay all of their attention to their ceremony, their guests and their reception. I’m pretty sure the guests appreciate it too!

In any case, here are the fabulous Robyn, Lukas and their show stopping-ly (fully aware that is not a word, but it’s my blog I’ll do as I like) adorable little girl Adelyn. Congratulations you guys!!! The pleasure was truly all mine!!!

Just brace yourself for the cuteness

Yes, that was cute… but feast your eyes on the next few images… HOW CUTE IS SHE?

I really love this photo.

And I’ll leave you with one of sleeping beauty back at the reception.

Double Trouble

I’d like to introduce you to Madison and Laine. Two of my favorites for sure.
How many times have I photographed them? Well, lets just say… a lot.
Do they have personality and attitude??? Oh yah! Do I love it!?! Absolutely.
Do we bribe them every time with candy… yup. Do we feel bad about it? Nope.
I think this series may be my favorite ever with them.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Pretty fancy nailpolish Laine, “yes, I see it, yes… Very pretty! Oh of course, I love it.”

Inspiration Lives Here.

From the moment Andrea and I spoke on the phone, I knew we were going to make magic together.

Our shoot was at Rebecca Spit on Quadra Island. Bob pulled up in the most amazing old truck… Mariah came armed with her guitar, and the boys came prepared to be boys!!!

I was so incredibly inspired at the time, overwhelmed with opportunities and moments! I absolutely love that Andrea had so much faith in me and let me run wild with my wild ideas and creative craziness. Some days everything just fits together so perfectly. This was one of those days. I also had an amazing time editing these images, and hope you enjoy them as well.

Mariah is an incredible gal, full of ideas, full of life and awesome with her guitar!
Near the end of our shoot, I knew I had yet to ‘crack’ River into a smile… so I stole him away for a little one on one, which included talk of hockey and tree climbing… and finally, a smile.

I love this image of Andrea and River.

And Sjor with his amazing curls… running through the grass into the sunlight. Perfect.
