I'll start with this image of Laura and Kevin, created over the weekend in Ucluelet, British Columbia. More images, moments and details to follow! All I really know, is that the Black Rock Resort, is an amazing place!
Seriously Shannon!!!
Seriously? I love these images. How gorgeous is Shannon?
This session has been booked for ages, and it wasn't until recently that we realized we were in the same prenatal yoga class.
I had such an amazing time creating these images... I feel so fortunate to meet such amazing people. To photograph such milestones in peoples lives, and to get to convey the beauty I see in everything.
I know for sure, being pregnant... you don't exactly feel glamorous and pretty all the time (or most of the time), and I can't tell you how much I love being able to show expectant mothers how gorgeous they really are. Shannon, you my dear... are radiant!
Perfect.
New look to the ol' blog...
Today, after much anticipation, I celebrate a facelift for my Vancouver Island Photography blog. I've had this look to the blog locked in my head for months, and I'm so happy it has now come together.
The header image and the ones here, was a vision I have had for ages. I wanted something that was different from a usual headshot of myself. I wanted to portray who I am, what I do, and how very precious my images are to me. To capture my photos, my canvases, my art, my soul, in amongst the natural beauty of Vancouver Island.
I conveyed my vision to the ever amazing Shannon Andrews, (my incredibly talented sidekick/graphic designer/artist). Unsure how to prop up all of the photos, I didn't want real easels (however that was my original thought) So, Shannon proclaimed, 'we can make driftwood easels'. Surely my crafting abilities would not create something like this? But of course, Shannon can do basically anything, and in one night with the help from her 'crazy with a drill' helper Ryan... they created me the most beautiful, rustic display easels made with driftwood from right here in Campbell River.
We were ready for action. These images were created near Oyster River in Campbell River. With my wild vision, and Shannon behind the camera. Here is what we created for my updated website and blog. Thank you Ryan and Shannon for all of your help!
All of the old post images will have to stay the same size, unfortunately I just can't justify the millions of hours it would take to resize each and every one of the thousands of images that are already on here. But, all posts from here on in, will have these gloriously larger images. Fabulous.
Of course, as usual, none of this would be possible without Jeremy Latham Thank you for everything.
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.
