Maui Girl

A sweet little photo of my little girl taken at Ironwoods Beach in Maui.

Yes, I am THAT mum who has a wallet that explodes with photos of her baby...well, my IPhone!

Wait until you see all the photos that I am going to take of your baby!

Jamie in the Daffodails

How can Spring not make you feel good? There are cherry blossoms outside, the daffodils are everywhere, and people are gardening everywhere!

Jamie is one of the cutest little girls I know. She told me "When I see a camera flash I just know what to do! I can't stop posing and smiling!" I knew from that moment that we would have a great time together.

We had a play-date with my camera after school and we ended up in the Daffodil fields in Saanichton. I drive by there everyday and always want to go there to photograph. April weather is generally really nice in Victoria- but there are showers here and there this month. I'm glad we had such a nice day to shoot.

Jamie showed me some of her sweet karate moves and she made me chase her around the daffodail field with my camera. It made for some great photo moments.

She's pretty fast now...I don't know if I can keep up with her in 10 years! Next time, I'll bring my running shoes!

Great playing with you Jamie and thank you, Monica, for letting me capture your little girl and her big happy personality!

Happy Spring!

Napili Family Photo

Family Photo on my favourite site location of all time, Maui! Napili is in West Maui...so gorgeous! You can even taunt your friends by their live webcam!
*It figures that my daughter did not look at the camera in ANY of the family photos! Next time, I am going to bring my assistant or hire my photographer friend, Kim !

Aloha from Maui

My Brother-in-Law and now Sister-in-Law are getting married this week in Maui. They are exchanging vows on their favourite beach, Kapula Bay.

I'm just glad we are here to support them in their marriage. I was lucky to watch Kim Aihara and her associate photographer in action at their wedding. They do excellent work! Stephen and Ericka are in great hands. I can't wait to see the photos! Even wedding photographers take a break...but not for very long!

It's Kennedy's second time to Hawaii *blush*. Last year when we were here I was like a mini basketball in a bikini!
I'm on my annual vacation from April 3-April 17. Aloha!

Congratulations, Stephen and Ericka!

Sue and Ian

Sue and Ian got married at the Chief and Petty Officer's Mess in Victoria. It was one of the most beautiful days in March to get married. We were starting to fret when it rained the day before...it just watered the flowers and made everything so vibrant for the next day. We were still in awe of how sunny and blue the skies were!

Sue and her bridesmaids had a mini photo shoot just before the wedding. It was so much fun!

Their wedding was officiated by wedding commissioner, Sherry-Lynne Easthome, who never has a ceremony exactly the same. Her ceremonies are custom made for the Bride and Groom. It was so romantic and heart warming.
Tears flowed as Sue walked up the aisle with her Father by her side. She looked beautiful. Her hair was styled by a close personal friend. Ian was so happy to finally see his bride.
The groom, Ian, had a great day with the boys at Jimmy's Barber Shop. He had a straight razor shave and lots of laughs with the groomsmen.
The music was hosted by Sound Choice, Marcus Leno, who kept the dance floor packed all night with awesome music from the 80's and 90's. I don't think I have ever seen a bride do the worm before that night! So awesome!
What an incredible party!
Thank you for sharing your day with us.Wishing you both happiness forever!

Elizabeth Jane

Suddenly, I am surrounded by babies everywhere! There is a small baby boom happening.

Paula and Kevin, who are not only my very good clients, but also very good friends of mine, had great news to share with me at the beginning of summer. Paula was pregnant. I was ecstatic when I found out that they were expecting and thrilled when their baby girl arrived. They named her Elizabeth Jane after Paula's favourite auntie.

She was 8lbs 14 oz and 22 inches long and she is destined to play beach volleyball.

She's a sweetie pie and was born with a full head of strawberry blonde hair. Her parents are first time grandparents and they couldn't be more happy about their new grandaughter. In fact, Paula's father had had a dream the night before about a red haired little girl.

Thank you again for showing off your new daughter to me.

Welcome to the world, Elizabeth Jane!

With love,

Nicole

Happy Valentine's Day to all my clients, friends, and family!

Thanks for all of your support of my photography! Hope your Valentine's Day and beyond is sweet!
