Canvases and Art

I love having space. Having time. Having silent moments to regroup. To create. I love decorating our home (consisting mainly of many photo canvases). Spending time with our puppy. I really love re-visiting images from 2008 and creating special one of a kind art pieces for my clients homes. We have just created this one, from our August session. I can't WAIT to see it big, and on their wall (shhh don't tell the fella if you recognize him... its a secret)!

If you are interested in turning any of your images from a session with us into amazing art pieces just email me for more information. This goes for family, maternity, babies, and WEDDINGS!!! Just drop me an email and I'll be happy to let you know about pricing and sizing etc... Have a fabulous Friday, and an amazing weekend!

Memoirs of a Wedding Photographer "2008"

Is it possible that an entire year has breezed past us again?Apparently so. I find it incredibly hard to believe that in just 4 months, I have been involved with thirty couples getting married in Campbell River, and all over Vancouver Island. THIRTY. To think that about three years ago I would start off with five booked weddings. Four years ago, I had two... and now, Thirty.

To all of my 2008 love infused couples, you swept me off my feet, inspired me, challenged me and trusted me, none of which, I take for granted! Each wedding, more love, more emotion, deep breaths, life choices, heartfelt speeches, juicy happy tears,and all incredibly unique moments. I am honored. Always. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

I am actually a bit overwhelmed at the task of choosing only a few... so there may be more than a few!

Consider these images, my personal memoirs from 2008... I can barely contain my excitement at having a whole new year, the ol' blank canvas... to create as much art as humanly possible. Let's pour our whole souls out this year people! Why not!!! Here's hoping that these images make you smile, inspire you, stir emotion, or even brighten your day.

Bring on 2009!

Still Snowing.....

It is Christmas Eve, and Campbell River is beautifully covered with snow.

I can't help but think how fortunate I am, to have a warm house, a wonderful fella, a healthy little puppy..a beautiful family and friends that melt my heart. I am so grateful to be blessed with such amazing good fortune. Not a day goes by when I don't feel gratitude, but even more so at Christmas, when there are people still struggling.

May you appreciate the beauty of your world, your life, and if you are reading this now... I'd be tempted to say that you are one of the fortunate ones as well. Soak in all of the magic moments this holiday season, and although I'm sure you already do... give whatever you can, as often as you can. May you be warm, cozy and full of all things marvelous over the holidays. Above all, may you be showered with magic.

Here are a few images of our winter wonderland and little Frank in the snow.

Beautifully Pregnant

O.k. The confession is.... part of me wants to blog more about puppies, and specifically ours prancing around in the snow. But I'm going to contain my puppy news and updates to fit in every now and then, so I don't bore you to tears with puppy fever. In any case, I've the pleasure of introducing you to an amazing maternity session from a few weeks ago.

Not all women look like this at eight months pregnant!! This gorgeous woman, is ALL baby! After a wonderful session, and having a great time chatting... here is what we came up with!

P.S...My studio in Willow Point will be closing its doors, but not without something exciting and new on the horizon, more on that to come.
