Favourite Family Candid

I was so excited that I was able to take the Miller family's portrait. They are such a beautiful family and everyone really participated in the shoot. Even the pets!

I need to take a quick break before I finish off my last family portrait before Christmas to share a little magic from the shoot.

Hope you like it! I know this photo made me smile!

Wilina, Andrew, Ashley, and Rachael

Another year went by so fast! I was thrilled to get a call from one of my favourite clients to photograph their family again this year!

You might remember me saying from last year's shoot, I knew it was going to be good because their daughter, Ashley answered the door and gave me a hug! So sweet and it was a great shoot!

Wilina came to me the year before because she wanted to have a fun experience with her family photos. She wanted something unique and she wanted to feel relaxed as she had her photo captured. I was happy to make a house call-as we say in our business! With our service, we do on location as well as studio sessions. We go out of our way to make your photography experience a happy one. Plus with children it's better to be in your own environment anyways- in case you need to do an outfit change or rearrange hair.

Here are a couple of fun captures from the day.

Your Christmas cards are going to be amazing Wilina and Andrew!

Can't wait to see you next year!

Thanks for assisting, Shealyn!

Baby Zoey

Here's a little teaser from our shoot with Teri, Bill, and Baby Zoey...

I really enjoyed assisting you again, Shealyn!

Camrin, Kristin, Elysabeth, and Kayleigh

It seems like such a short time ago that I captured their elopement, little did I know that I follow their family as it grew!

I try to get out of the studio to get more candid moments. When we went on our walk through the forest behind our house a very candid and happy dog tried to join in our photoshoot!

December 31,2005 was the day that I got the opportunity to shoot Camrin and his beautiful new bride, Kristin. Soon after they experienced the beautiful birth of their daughter, Elysabeth (3yrs). They were blessed yet again with their youngest daughter, Kayleigh(2mos).

We were pleased to do the maternity shoot of a gorgeous, pregnant Kristin and

later, we got the chance to shoot the newborn Kayleigh.

(Some of which you may remember from a previous entry)

As you can imagine, I was ecstatic when I got a call to do their family photos,

Newborns smell so sweet...New families are just as sweet!

As you can see Kayleigh is watching Elysabeth very closely because she is turning out to be a photo super star too!

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!
