Diane Pancel

One of my favourite singers in Victoria contacted me just recently for some new promotional shots. Diane and I have worked together before. I had actually photographed almost two years ago for her before for her CD cover, "Diane Pancel- Introducing..."
Her voice is so beautiful and she's so unbelievably talented. She sings, writes, and composes music too. Not just another pretty face in the music world!

She is also performing at Butchart Gardens this August again. Not surprising it was back by popular demand!

Diane is on her way to New York in two weeks for her debut there!
Break a leg, Diane!

Nicole Recreated

I was thrilled to be contacted by Nicole asking if I would be able to recreate an heirloom photograph. The photograph was a sepia toned silver gelatin print of her Grandmother.
Nicole had her hair and wardrobe styled in a similar way with a modern twist.

Thanks again, Nicole!

Happy Mother's Day

What a great first Mother's Day! I love baby kisses, banana pancakes for breakfast, and the sweetest card ever from my daughter and husband. My husband took this shot after all our VIP's had gone home from brunch.

Wishing all the Mums and Grandmas a very Happy Day!

Best Day!

This week keeps on getting better and better. We just bought a house and the best part about it is that I will finally have room for my studio! We'll be making the move on Canada Day.

Hurray!

My Little Friend Rowan

Rowan, my little friend from Ireland came over to visit his Grandma and Grandpa in Sidney. Oh, I forgot to mention that he brought his gorgeous Mummy, Helen along too.

This little guy was something else!
He is absolutely adorable and what a delight to photograph! It was funny, one minute he could be so serious- a little thinker. The next moment, he would smile and make these cute little looks at the camera. He enjoyed the warm sunshine at Beacon Hill park and was entranced by the ducks, the flowers, and looking out into the ocean. He could have laid down on that baby blue blanket in the sun all day with his Mum!

He took his first dip in the ocean on the Westcoast of Canada for his first time that day. It was really neat to see his priceless expression as the waves tumbled over his toes. Again, it was quite intellectual rather than scared or surprised!

Rowan and Helen, I know you've missed Daddy at home in Ireland but we hope you've enjoyed your Canadian adventure home. Looking forward to seeing you and your family on your next visit back to Canada! I'm certain Rowan will be a foot taller by then.

Oops, one more thing I forgot to mention; Happy Six Month Birthday, Rowan!

Jasmine and Tony

Jasmine and Tony are such a cute couple! The happy couple have spent the last year planning a wedding and renovating their home together. I applaud the two of them! It's busy enough planning a wedding and deciding on a party favour let alone settling on a paint swatch!

Thanks for putting down the hammers so we could take these romantic and fun photos to celebrate your engagement!

Jasmine was so happy to be running around in her stilettos (after her First 10K the weekend before [1 hour and seven minutes!] and Tony was happy that he could kiss his future wife all day long during the shoot!

Looking forward to the magic that's happening this July!

Congratulations, Tony and Jasmine!

Thanks

Just wanted to let my clients and friends know that I'm waiting for my new Nicole Brown website to finally go live!
Thanks for all of your support for my photography over the years! I'm looking forward to the new company and new outlook of photography!

Spring Time in Sidney!

Have I mentioned I am huge fan of Spring? My daughter and I walk as often as we can now that the weather is nice. I had her out in the Baby Bjorn and we were taking photos of the spring blossoms. Guess who grabbed my camera and took her first self portrait? My seven and a half month old daughter, Kennedy! Wow, guess who's going to have to be baby proof her camera bag?
