Mr and Mrs Pedro

On the warm day of September 26,2009 the air had smelled of fall and seasons changing. The day that Jodi and Jermaine said "I do." They married at the University of Victoria Interfaith Chapel which is small intimate little church that was filled to the brim with all the happy family and friends.

Jodi and Jermaine were meant for each other since the moment they met! They were two peas in a pod who have rarely been apart since high-school excluding Jermaine's work deep sea.

They share everything including a Facebook page-how cute.

From our first meeting it was apparent how special bond that they share. A bond that grew stronger when Jodi lost her Step-mother to cancer the month before.

The wedding day was full of happiness, joy and love.


"Only the finest transportation will do"





I remember how excited Jodi got once the veil went on! It was really happening!











The smile on her father's face and the expression of her step brother made this one of my favourite captures.

We were so mean, we wouldn't let her see herself in the mirror until she was a bride from head to toe!


When Jodi was little her father, Lyndsey used to take her out for long drives in his Ferrari. It was something special that they shared together and it seemed appropriate that they continue this tradition.

"Shot-gun, Dad!" The grin on his face says it all!


Stunning Jodi





I'll be there


Jermaine and the groomsmen


The smile on her father's face reminded me of some of the captures that I see on my Bride's faces. You think his beautiful daughter was giving him away!

Welcome to the world, Jake!








I have had the privilege of following Melissa and Tony's family right from the very beginning....I was honored to be chosen to be their photographer for their wedding a couple of years ago, to photographing Melissa when she was pregnant with her first child, being there for Ava in her first days of life, and her first birthday. I was so happy when Melissa called to let me know she was expecting again. This time a boy!
Melissa looked amazing as always with that beautiful belly but it was even more special when I saw her daughter, Ava, put her little hand on her Mum's belly to feel her little brother's kicks.

Here is Jake at 5 days old. He has so much hair! I love his fuzzy face and I can't get over how alert he is too! He was so excited for his first photo shoot...He couldn't sleep!

Here are a couple of selects from our session.
Much love to your family, Melissa and Tony!
Thanks for your extra help, Shealyn!

Kayleigh has arrived!




On the morning of August 19, I got an email from Kristin saying, " I'm finally getting to my maternity photos and ordering some. I really love them all! It's so hard to choose!"

Later that day, I see that Camrin, her husband has updated his Facebook status with a baby photo at 6:00 that evening!

Kayleigh Christine was 7 pounds and 15.9 ounces. They just call her an even eight pounder!

Then the next day Cam posted, " I learned something yesterday.. When your driving your wife to the hospital with rapid severe contractions in rush hour traffic, DO NOT joke and say 'we need to stop and get some gas..." **Future fathers please take note!**

Kayleigh arrived very fast and the doctor had just enough time to get some gloves on and deliver that sweet bambini!
Apparently, the cure for getting your baby out is to order your maternity photos, not massage or spicy food!

Congrats to you on your newborn daughter, Kayleigh! Hope you are getting some sleep when you can and enjoying all the ladies in your life!

Lots of love to your family!
Thanks, Shealyn, for you help assisting!
