Beautiful Bellies....{Squamish Family Photographer}

Oh wow, what a time lately! I am not sure where to begin with so many interesting projects on the go lately, a move of home and office, my husband's work taking him to New Zealand for a month(exactly when we moved!!!)and so little time to blog.

As I have had numerous enquiries and bookings for expecting mamas recently I thought I would share with you all one of our beautiful Squamish Divas who graciously posed for the upcoming Howe Sound Women's Centre Calendar 2011 project.....I wanted to create something that encompassed the wild and windy weather we can get here in Squamish as well as a soulful feel that adds to the beautiful music this lady creates with her voice!

Thanks for taking a peek!

p.s I can't wait to meet the little person inside that beautiful belly.....

Girls in Trees....{Vancouver Children's Photographer}

I have no idea where the summer holidays have gone, but they have kept me away from blogging and instead, having fun with not only my own wonderful children, but my summertime clients lovely ones too.....

I have also been holding out to blog as I have a new blogsite being designed and I was hoping it would be finished by now, however it is not quite ready yet.....so for now I will continue posting on this one until I am ready to go live with my new one.

So to keep the tree climbing theme alive and well( which seems to have developed a life of it's own now with my photo sessions!), here are some very cute sisters that were all over the idea of making these branches seem like they were comfy couches!

'yay' for trees I say.....

  

 

  
 
 

Thanks girls, you were so much fun!

mmmm FOOD {Squamish and Vancouver Lifestyle Photography}

Well it seems like a no brainer to want to take photos of food as I LOVE eating good food and drinking great drinks! I must admit though when I was first approached to photograph food I thought to myself "no problem! they won't run away from me like a 2 year old can often do!" hmm well I was humbled and I take my hat off to Food Photographers the world over, because timing, temperature, lighting, styling and soooo much more goes into it than I first thought! But it is fun especially when you get to eat and drink the products after the fact!

On that note I would like to share with you a collage I created for a Food and Beverage marketing piece....  thanks for stopping by!

 

Wedding Flowers and cute kids....{Vancouver and Squamish Family Photographer}

I had the lovely fortune to be asked to take some wedding photos recently. Many of you know this is not normally something I do,as I specialize in working with children and families.....however this particular wedding had so many personal favourites(Children, flowers, wonderful friendships) included I was delighted to be there.Here are a couple of photos that have come out of my editing....

I will be sure to post more soon as I wrap up this edit.

The Floral arrangements were courtesy of Billies' Bouquet Florist in Squamish

In Between the rain drops...{Teen Photographer}

We are all still waiting for the weather to warm up and the rain to stop for a while in this part of the world. However I have been blessed with luck so far when it comes to squeezing in photo sessions between the rain.

Here are some more images from my collection of the teens I have been recently working with.....and no rain there at all!(lucky me!)...

Thanks girls, you are all awesome and full of beautiful spirit. I want to wish you well with your adventures out in the big wide world!
