One that I missed from December..

It's nice to finally have some time to catch up.  The new year... make sure everything is as it should be after coming through that hectic holiday season!  Here's my pretty on her 11th Birthday! 

 

Baby's 1st Birthday

This little cutie pie has been a regular behind my lens this year.  That makes me a very lucky photographer because she is so cute ! So we may have been a little late in planning this 1st Birthday photo shoot because we didn't have enough time to get her a custom 1st Birthday cake to smash but she's little so it was decided a cupcake would do just fine! Really how much sugar does a baby need anyway? Well let me tell you... Lux was quite happy to make her mark and put some sugar in her mouth... it was awesome! And then she helped to clean up at the end too!

And let's not miss this one...

I got some good use out of my winter studio scene this year... the blue accent snow flakes were such a great hit of color.  Here's one of our regular beauties rocking her Christmas duds... its a special outfit her Mom just knew she had to have! 

 And once again... that pesky cat...
The kids don't mind, they think its kind of neat the cat comes to play pictures with them.

Winter awesome!

Well darned if it isn't a whole new year... I checked and the last time I updated my blog was September!!!  What happened to those months in between???
Evidently I have a bit of blog updating to do. 
Here's one session from the Christmas season that you just can't miss!

 Look at my pesky ginger cat... always getting into people's photos!

Bailey and Ryan Summerland Strawberry Farm Wedding

August 31st was a lovely day to get married! Bailey and Ryan got married at the Summerland Strawberry farm (Grandparents) and what a beauty of a day it was!

The Grooms-men hung these white fluffy ornaments in the trees the night before the wedding... how stunning did they turn out?!  It just gives that added extra oomph in the photos!  I loved it!

Alexis and Garrett an Elm Tree Farm Wedding Oliver BC

On a very hot day in August, these two joined their families together in love. It was such a pleasure to be a part of the small and intimate ceremony. By the end of the day I was sure I was a part of the family! What a wonderful day it was! These are just a few of my favorite images from the day. Last count there are 850 pictures going onto CD for this couple to enjoy forever.  Here are a few of my personal faves...

Not to worry, there's more wedding season yet!

Father's Day

Since I'm clearly catching up on my blog tonight - perhaps I should share a shoot that we did in June that I'm especially proud of.  It's a bit unusual but it worked out so well.  Shelly wanted to capture the men in her family in a photoshoot and so she arranged this Father's Day fiesta!  It was raining earlier in the afternoon but then the clouds parted and we had this... pure perfection.  Who wants boring blue skies?

I had superman in my studio!

Oh, yes its true... Clarke Kent then Superman were in my studio... or at least Noah was very sure that was the character he was portraying!

It's the magic of childhood.  Who are we adults to get in the way?!

Baby Naomi...

Naomi was a few weeks old when she came for her shoot but none the less, we got her!  We got her awake and sleeping and wrapped up in all her fresh baby goodness... so sweet.  She reminds me of her brother a few years ago.  <3 p="">
