Christmas Angels

My daughter, Kennedy, and her cousin, Leilani are enjoying their first Christmas! It was so sweet getting them all dolled up in their Christmas dresses . They are three months old and are now just holding their heads up on their own. They adore the bright lights of the Christmas tree.

It was not to long ago that I remember when Christmas was all about what was under the tree now it's the Little One's that crowd around it!

Here is a photo of Kennedy and her grandparents. This was a special Christmas for them too!

Merry Christmas to you and your families- from my family to yours!

Christmas Time

I just knew it was going to be a great shoot when their little girls gave me a giant hug at the door to greet me. Andrew and Willina you have two little angels!

Merry Christmas to you!

Josh, Trystin, and Riley

A quick view into the boys' personalities....

The day we scheduled our photoshoot was the day that Sidney decided to snow the night before. Since we were getting dangerously close to the Christmas deadline we decided to forge ahead. These guys were awesome! We had such a great time despite the weather-as usual!

Okay, if I wasn't singing the praises of Nancy and Sean's boys-I will again. They were so good, and Riley even offered to hold my reflector up for me. What a guy!

Thanks again for the great shoot, Guys, and bring your parents next year!

Beauty and Love- Alison & Trevor

Alison, Trevor, and Austin eagerly anticipate their new Baby Girl sometime in November...
We had such a beautiful day together at the beach and at the park.

What a beautiful family you have! I can't wait to meet your little girl!

Ava and Grandpa

A sweet moment between Grandpa and his little gandaughter, Ava on her first birthday.

It was great working with you guys again. I can't believe how much she has grown since I photographed her last when she was three months old! I love her pretty red hair. What a sweet pea!

Happy Birthday, Ava!

Happy First Anniversary to Melissa and Tony as parents.

I feel so fortunate to have captured the special moments in your life from your wedding to your daughter's first birthday!

Thank you, Melissa and Tony!

Building a Mystery

My clients have been asking me what we're having. My husband and I wanted to save it as a surprise. We nicknamed our baby the "Little Mystery".

Well, The Little Mystery has been solved....Kennedy Brown has arrived!

Kennedy was 8 pounds 12 oz. 22 inches long and was born 1231h.

She is that beautiful brown eyed girl I have been dreaming about! So lovely!

We're recovering well and sleeping when we can. And sometimes we even let Grandma hold her! :)

Thanks for your notes and well wishes!

My Little Mystery

I'm doing a cardinal sin. Our first family photo and I decided to look at the baby instead of looking at the photographer. I'm totally fired from this modelling gig.

My little one, Kennedy arrived on the first day of Autumn. I have been taking a breath to enjoy every minute of being a mum. They say you have no idea what love is until you look into the eyes of your child. I get that now. I have been seeing that expression on all my new parents for years...now I finally understand.

Thank you for sharing your most important moments with me- it's nice to shine a light on my own with you. Thank you for your support on this journey!

Lovely Leilani

Oh my goodness, this has been a really special time waiting for my own first child to arrive but even more special because I have had my sister in law, Jennie-Lynne waiting for her first child to arrive too. We were due 6 days apart. I was hoping to go into labour at the same time. Oh well, that dream didn't happen!

Her Little Angel arrived on my due date September 13, 2008.

Leilani, is so perfect in every way. She has the sweetest disposition, lovely full pink lips, and the most perfect little hands. Seriously, her hands are like butter! It's almost like she arrived with a perfect manicure.

She is lovely at 22.5 inches and 9 pounds 6 ounces. I'm in love!

Congratulations, Jen and Andy on your beautiful daughter!
Welcome to the world, Leilani!

I have my head in the clouds...

I love clouds and late afternoon light.
There is something to be said about mood when you look at this photo. It's so pretty!

Abbey and David

Something strange happened in late December and January. Somebody sprinkled baby dust everywhere and soon people were whispering quietly and smiling.

Abbey and David are such a beautiful couple. They both love Bikram yoga, going to the beach, and love the West Coast Lifestyle. They are such an inspirational couple who have so much love for one another. They are newlyweds too. My husband and I were able to attend their gorgeous wedding in June. We watched them exhange vows- which is weird and wonderful because for the first time since I got married I wasn't behind a camera.

Abbey and David are not only expecting "The Best Baby Ever" September 16th; but they are literally nurturing another "baby". A new yoga studio opening in the middle of October Bikram Yoga Saanich. You should really check out their studio when it opens!

Marc and Maren

It was great hosting my talented friend and collegue, Helene Cornell from San Diego to help Adam and I with our last couple of weddings of the season before I started my maternity leave.

Helene Cornell is a destination Wedding Photographer Specialist. Her work is amazing so I'm so glad that were able have her work with us!
