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!!!
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.
Some call motherhood a secret club, that you can’t explain… until you join. All I can say, is I get it. I know now.
April 5th 2010 at 7:15pm we welcomed Maisie Lucinda Cockburn into the world. She weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces. She was born on my mom’s birthday. She is named after the amazing matriarchs of both Bryce and my families. Maisie after my moms grandmother. Lucinda after Bryce’s moms grandmother. She looks like her daddy, and couldn’t possibly be any more loved.
She has her own story already, in her sweet 8 days of life. I’m a bit too fragile, to tell the story… so for now, I’ll let the images do the talking for me.
Words do nothing for this kind of love.
First moments in the world. Then first family photos. The first of many.
Immense gratitude to the ever fabulous Shannon (Auntie Thelma) for capturing images that I’d never imagined I could have of our family. oxoxxo
Absolutely no words can ever describe what it also means to me to have experienced all of this with such an amazing man. Bryce, you are my very favorite.
My parents first look at their grandbaby
Sheila. Our insanely wonderful midwife. Who led me through the birthing experience or labyrinth in such an epic way. I am beyond grateful for my beautiful birth and know that it wouldn’t have been nearly as amazing without Sheila.
Coming from a long line of blondies, Great Grannie Goodheart was thrilled and shocked to see all that dark hair!
And now… the family photo shoot in our studio. 6 days old.
What a better way to start off Valentines Day, than with a super cute family of three!
Meet Jeanine, Bryce and their little man Ryland. Really looking forward to their wedding this summer at Dolphins Resort, here in Campbell River.
Oh Ryland… you are SO CUTE!
Happy Monday, hope you had a wonderful weekend and are en route to a fabulous week.
I can’t handle how cute this photo is. I believe little Ryland is making faces at Auntie Erin! ha!
And, no more photos please lady!
No one wants to end a post with baby tears… so we’ll leave you with a rather adorable little baby smile instead!
