On a whim tonight, I decided to compile a sort of "Best of 2017" personal post. It became a very lengthy task and although I'm forgetting and omitting so much, I had a hard time eliminating any from this post, so its a bit long. However if you're interested, this is us. ox
{also I feel the need to let you know that of course I occasionally freak out at my kids, and fail miserably in many moments of my life. I am the worst at organizing my house, there is always a pile of laundry somewhere and my pile of unread books makes me want to hide in a cave and read for a week. However, one of the many reasons I find myself picking up my camera again and again, especially with my family is it makes me SO happy. It brings me endless joy looking through the photos of our lives over the years. It is my highlight reel. The way I see us. Not necessarily how we always are.}
So perhaps, THIS is how I choose to see us.
Thanks for stopping by. xo
{Also if you follow my instagram pages, chances are... most of these photos are old news! I post a selection of my personal and professional images ON INSTAGRAM HERE AND HERE

I love photographing families. I also love photographing families outside in Campbell River, and everywhere on Vancouver Island. There are endless possibilities.
I love getting to know their personalities and how they all connect with each other. It also snaps me into realizing that one day, I will likely be just like each and every mom I photograph. Standing back and smiling at her children. Knowing that indescribable love that comes along with raising people. Looking at the face of your daughter who has grown up, is growing up... remembering them as baby's, infants... toddlers. I refer to it often, but one of my favorite quotes from a beautiful client a few years ago sticks with me still. As a parent "
Kim, Scott and their handsome boy.. Blue.
A perfect fall day, at one of my favorite places in between Campbell River and Courtenay. Remarkable.
Loved every minute.

It would be cruel of me not to share a few of these with you.Stephan... you are absolutely beautiful.
The above image, is for sure, among my 2008 favorites.
