Meet Oliver!

My friends Marek and Steph had their second child last month, a beautiful boy named Oliver!  He is quite the charmer and is incredibly handsome:)  He has the most wonderful, full lips (second only to his big sis, Isla, I think)!  I had a great time photographing him and I hope to get some more as he gets older.

Here he is!

Miss Izzy

Since I was home recovering from some dental surgery this past week, I decided to do another photo shoot with Isabelle.  Didn't go as well as I imagined, lots of running laps around the room and fussing about itchy dresses, but I got a few shots that were half decent.  She's really into making silly faces now (in case you can't tell LOL!).

I did a photo shoot with adorable baby Oliver last week and I've almost finished editing, so I'll get those up soon too:)

Spring Is Almost Here

I think that Spring is around the corner (it's hard to tell with all the wind, rain and cool temps), so here are some tulip pics to celebrate!  I got these for my B-Day (thanks Madeline!) and promptly dissected them to do some macro shots, enjoy!

Reminiscing

With all the cold, rainy, windy weather we've been having lately I've been reminiscing about our time in the Okanagan this past summer.  It was so nice to have a new location to shoot...but VI isn't too shabby, so I think I'll be ok!  I even have a couple spots in mind for a water fowl shoot the next time I have some free time and decent weather.  Until then, here are a couple of panos I made up (both 5x12"):

Horse Crazy!

Lucky me has had the opportunity to test my equine photography skills over the past couple of months!  It's something that I've always wanted to try my hand at (since I'm a horse nut) and now that I'm leasing I've been given free reign sorta speak!  Here are some for you to check out, I'll be posting my fav's on my site shortly.  PLEASE leave some feedback :)

 

 

Merry Christmas To Everyone!

Meet Sawyer!

This is Sawyer, isn't he adorable?!  I love his chubby cheeks ;)  I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to take some pictures of him and his brother, Evan, a couple of weeks ago.  They were both great in front of the camera and I had a wonderful time hanging out with them!  Two handsome boys for sure!

Farewell

My brother moved out East a few weeks ago, but luckily I talked him into posing for a few pictures before he left (not an easy feat).  He's a very descriptive writer and detailed artist so I wanted to shoot in a way that would reflect the dark and sometimes twisted perspective of the worlds he creates.  I think the second shot catches who he is perfectly!  He has now moved to a new city to pursue his dream of turning his latest script into a movie.  I wish him all the best in his endeavors and can't wait to see his amazing script brought to life on the big screen :)

Kayak Trip

My Mom and I went for a wonderful evening paddle in our kayaks a few days ago.  The water was like glass and there were hundreds of jelly fish floating underneath us.  On the way back I was privileged enough to get to spend some time with a family of otters!  I kept gliding closer and closer - they chirped at me, but didn't seemed too bothered by my presence.  Eventually they were coming up to the end of my paddle to check me out and one even popped up right beside my kayak giving me quite a fright LOL!  It was an amazing experience, one that I won't forget!  Can't wait to go back there (maybe in the morning next time so I can sneak up on some herons).

Spider Webs

The fog combined with the sunrise created an interesting "feel" to these spider webs off my balcony one morning last week :)
