Tara & Steve

Late in September I had the occassion to capture the nuptuals for this lovely couple. It was a wonderful garden ceremony followed by a wonderful brunch. It was easy going and fun just like this couple. Here they are...

Waiting for Lauren...

I had the pleasure of photographing the cutest pregnant couple this morning. They have it on pretty good authority that there's a girl in there... about 17 days away... and her name is Lauren.

Here's her first photos with Mom and Dad! I can't wait to meet her!

Jocelyn + Wayne sneak peak!

A few weekends back I had the pleasure of capturing Jocelyn & Wayne's special day. It was a lovely hot August afternoon in Kelowna. As I'm going through their images now and getting ready to burn them a CD, I thought I'd share a few of my faves!
Congratulations you two! It was a wonderful day!!!

A theme here....

Oh, my the last time I blogged it was the same precious face!

Okay maybe with a smile...
But you get my meaning!

I promise to do a better job here... I'm back on the bloggin wagon!

Pretty in Pink

I had the sweetest photo session this morning...

We drank a little tea... shot a few photos and then Miss M decided we were done!

Here's my faves.

The color for February is Red!

Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine! ~Thomas Hood

Love is in the air! With all the red and the kisses how can you not smile?

I had the pleasure of drinking some Sunday morning coffee and playing with these 3 sweethearts!

Happy Valentine's

Sunny Saturday

The sun was shining this morning and I thought it was perfect to do a session with natural light rather than studio. Its a rare treasure in this cold weather... and this little monkey was sure happy! She's always up to play pictures!

Well until next time... stay warm!

A new year!

Well we're into a new year, we have launched a new website... lets see what we can do to keep this blog up to date! I'm so delighted to be back in Penticton and back with my friends and back to photographing and watching these little babes grow up. Speaking of growing up.. here's the cutest little six year old on her birthday... I might be a bit biased...

Baby B ~ turns 3 months!

She's just a dolly and a delight to visit and snuggle everytime I see her!

Happy Mother's Day!

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.

~Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest, 1895

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty

Now that... my kids are grown, I understand how much work and love it takes to raise and to keep a family together. The example of your strength, devotion, and patience is now rippling through the generations.
~Forest Houtenschil

Here comes the parade....

The parade of beautiful babies! So far I think they're all girls! I had the chance to meet a real beauty yesterday. She's tiny as can be but so well mannered. We were able to play pictures for 2 hours and she slept the whole time! What a super model. Here she is born 6 days ago at 5 lbs 4 oz.

Its... a baby bump!

I had the cutest couple for maternity photos this weekend. Right now she's at 35 weeks and we should get some new, fresh, cute, curled up, brand new baby photos before I head off on vacation late March!

Today's winner

Today was a very snowy cold day. A good one to stay inside. To occupy our time we decided to get a jump start on Valentine's Day. By far the cutest one of the day was this. He just wanted to play with his transformer but he smiled brilliantly to get the photos over and done!

Sparkling tree tops

After the few snowy days we've had the sun came out and made everything sparkle. This magestic tree is in our back yard and I caught this one right off the back porch.

New haircuts

A new year is often a time for a new look, a fresh start for a great year. These two little girlies got new haircuts today and aren't they cute? Lots of little layers and bangs and big smiles.

In with the new....

I just got in the evening from a nice dinner with friends from work. We were wishing a colleague fairwell. I know all to well what it felt like to be the person departing.... it still weighs on me.

Well on a lighter note ~ out with the old ~ in with the new.... is it just me or do you know lots of women who are expecting right now?.... here's one of my favorite maternity images from last year. Can't wait for all the glowing that is coming up this spring.

Quiet Weekend

Just a quiet weekend around here. Not much going on. Grocery shopping, studying, sleeping. I had found some cute scarves at the mall this week... no one was too interested in playing with me, but I think this scarf is going to get lots of use in years so come. The colors are one thing, but the texture in black and white is another! Its gonna be a great scarf.

Have a nice week everyone.

Babies... babies!!!

I'm not sure what happens when the air gets a chill... but I've now had confirmation that I have 4 newborns enroute for pictures this spring! Although I don't have any newborn shots from the last few weeks here are a few of my all time favorites.
