Sweet Ride and Soft Love

On a night like last night, in Campbell River two lovers pulled into a parking lot full of rich orange light, a still calm sky, and a silky smooth sea.

They were sweet, kind and immediately easy to love. Together with their awesome truck, they reminded me of so many movie scenes, and Melissa looked to me like she just stepped out of an amazing Renaissance painting.

They have an effortless, quiet and sweet love. Not to mention their amazing ability to ooze romance just by being close to each other. Which makes my job, absolutely exciting.

Have a peek at Melissa, Dave and the magic of living in a place as beautiful as Campbell River. (p.s... I can barely wait for their wedding.. and to see the next sweet ride that they are unveiling at the wedding, stay tuned)

Jessica and Roger

What a better way to start off Monday morning, than a few images from Jessica and Rogers amazing engagement session.

Immediately, I loved them! Up for anything, and completely happy to let my creative mind go wild and free for some not so conventional portraits. I love when my couples are able to stretch themselves for something different, fresh and wonderful!

This session has gotten me incredibly excited for a whole lot of Vancouver Island weddings! A note to all of my 2009 Weddings, to email me and set up your engagement session, before its too late!

Love this first shot of Jessica. So beautiful! Their connection was amazing, and I just love this image Love her on her tip toes On our way to the second location... I remembered these stone tunnels, and put the brakes on, luckily they were up for anything, and look what we created! Love the intimacy and laughter

Tina and James...

Over the weekend, I met up with a few of my fabulous 2009 wedding clients!

Before unveiling Tina and James' images, I need to say that I truly believe, that my clients are the best. NO, I'm serious... I feel that the people who gravitate towards my work, my passions, get me... they want the images, that my darling father would always say things like "but they have no heads" about. (nothing wrong with that dad, but I like how images make me feel, heads or no heads)

There is nothing wrong with a photo of two people standing awkwardly smiling at a camera. (Ok, of COURSE there is something wrong with this) It just truly isn't my style, I can do it (hence Princess Cruises photographer for 6 years)... but I don't like it, not even for a second. It makes my soul feel shriveled and dried up and crunchy. I get a few inquiries from those who may be after the stand and say cheese shots... but it usually ends up not working out. (phewf) Leaving me with clients who want me to be creative, to let me run wild with my ideas, and who even come armed with their own ideas. I encourage awesomeness. Those of you with ideas, and creativity. I find that you waltz right into my life, and then, we can create beautiful images together. Ahhhh, yup, you all are great. Thank you for letting me explore life, love and beauty through you, and through my lens.

Here along the beautiful Campbell River we created the following images...

Sharing the love....

Recently, I met up with these two lovebirds to capture a few images of them on their holidays. We met at Painters Lodge (where they had spent their vacation) to create their images. I can hardly wait until they come back in the summer with their kids... we will be doing another session, and I am so excited!!!

Amy just emailed me after seeing her images for the first time and said..."Oh my Erin..... I love them, love them, love them. I can't wait to see the rest. Thank you so much. I can truly say that I think you captured that love that we both have for each other. And it was so fun!"

Now thats what I like to hear!!!!

As for me, I'm off for the annual "before weddings consume my soul" road trip. There will be news when I return! Stay tuned for images from that... plus a wedding on Saturday too!!!
