Kaleena and Matt were married under blue skies and sunshine. More than 300 people watched them say their vows on beautifully manicured family property.
She was calm, composed and stunning. He was happy, eager and a tad warm in his suit. The faces of everyone involved say it all and I was honored to join them around the beautiful Cowichan Valley creating images with them. Railroads, farms, dirt roads and sunset fields? Amazing.
Thank you, for choosing me.
Buddha or not.
“When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky”~Buddha
I've seen it debated whether Buddha really said this or not, and to be honest... I don't care who said it. It is perfect. I came across this image again as I was editing Sarah and Keith's amazing Hornby Island wedding, and just needed to share the quote, with the image.
On Saturday Shannon walked the Great Walk, (all 63.5km on the gravel road) not in pain and misery... but with her head tilted back, laughing at the sky. Sarah was so excited, so joyous on their wedding day that she kept smiling, laughing, and yelling to the wind how perfect life was.
Attitude really is everything. Get a good one and cherish it.
Sweetness on the Lake
A recurring theme lately in my images has been my amazing wedding couples creating AMAZING children and then me having the immense pleasure of photographing them all over again. In a totally different way. Remember their wedding?? Refresher HERE.
A perfect evening at McIvor Lake, with sweet Cora and her loving parents.
This baby girl is surrounded by all sorts of love and just oozes sweetness!
Wishing your beautiful family an abundance of awesome this year and always. xo
Moments with Maclaren
I love kids.
Innocent. Open. Vibrant.
Full of potential and infinite possibility.
There we were at Miracle Beach on a windy spring day. Sweet Maclaren with her perfect little voice sharing the secrets of the universe with me and most importantly where the seven dwarfs were hiding.
It was truly my pleasure.
Until we meet again lovely girl!

These feet were made for walking...
In an wild dose of spontaneous inspiration she signed up for The Great Walk. A road she's been down many times before, but never walked.
She'll walk 63.5km (40 miles) on the dirt road between Gold River and Tahsis, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
She'll finish with a smile bigger than any one she's ever had before, and I only wish I could be there to see her cross that finish line.
I can actually see it now... huge grin and a few tears welling up in her eyes. When you have amazing people in your life it is easy to be continually inspired by them. She's incredible.
She's walking for herself, and along the way has also picked up donations for the Canadian Cancer Foundation and our local Food Bank. If you'd like to donate please email shannun@telus.net.
The Great Walk is tomorrow and please send a whole lot of love and positive support her way, and for all of the Great Walkers! Good Luck Auntie Thelma! We love you!!!!
