Chantal, Greg, Keira, and Sophie

Great family portrait session!

When Chantal isn't teaching yoga or doing sun salutations herself she is busy with her beautiful family in Sidney-by-the-Sea!

Her daughter, Sophie turned six months old and she realized that it was really time to get her family photo taken. The grandparents have been asking for some new photos. I was more than happy to oblige!

Their family has just recently moved from Alberta and they are really enjoying the Westcoast life. They enjoy their walks by the ocean and playing with their dog, Ace.

What a beautiful family you have Greg and Chantal! Can you please invite Ace next time to the shoot?

Thanks for your help assisting, Shealyn!

Cam, Kristin, and Elysabeth

December 31st a couple of years ago, Cam and Kristin eloped in a secret ceremony in Victoria. Adam and I were one of the few people that were there to celebrate the day they became husband and wife. Yep, I did celebrate their marriage with a camera in my hand but that's besides the point...When am I ever celebrating without a camera? Anyways, about Camrin and Kristin....

Elysabeth came into their lives while Kristin had been pursueing her Massage Therapy degree. She loved being pregnant with Elysabeth and I bet those belly massages felt good in utero for Miss Elysabeth too!

Fast forward a couple of years later, I ran into Cam and Kristin at the ferries and was thrilled to hear that they were expecting their second child... another girl for Camrin! What a lucky guy!

Kristin was eager to have some professional maternity shots of her belly this time around! Elysabeth was excited for their photoshoot-and Camrin came along for the ride. Camrin is a little camera shy to be perfectly honest. That's why it was important to have his daughter in front of my camera making her Daddy smile!

Here are a couple of shots from our session together!

I can't wait to meet this little girl of yours! Oh, I guess you can't wait to meet her

too! :)

Love

Did I mention how much I love my husband? He has been working non-stop on our new photo studio. He's dry walling and mudding...and soon he'll be painting.
One day we'll have a hard wood floor to dance on and strobes to flash on a muslin backdrop!
Tern Studio coming soon this fall....

Go, Kevin, go!
Love you like crazy! xoxo

Sweet Sophia

Steve and Sarah welcomed their sweet little girl into the world two and a half months early. She was born 2 pounds 11 ounces just before the clock struck midnight on April 14.

Sophia is an amazing child. She's such as little cutie...Her corrected age now is 2 weeks and she is 8 pounds and still gaining by the day. She's a cuddle bug and she likes to party and keep her Mum and Dad up with late night snacking.

I photographed Steve and Sarah's wedding over a year ago and it was an honor to be a part of one of the best days of their life. It was wonderful to see the two of them become a family. Steve's a lucky with guy with two pretty girls to take care of!

Lots of love to your new family!

The Golden Hour is my Happy Hour

I had a most magical "Don't Trash the Dress" session with Montreal High Fashion Retoucher and Graphic Artist, Kate Mc Laren. She was ecstatic to help with our project.
In case you're wondering if I retouched the retoucher-absolutely not. She really is as beautiful as she appears on film. L o v e l y!

I can't wait to work with her again on some projects in front of the camera and behind the computer screen.

Thanks again, Kate!

Tony and Jasmine

On July 25th, 2009, the Hotel Grand Pacific held all sorts of surprises!

The day began with our groom, Tony, doing some R and R for men- 9 holes of golf at Royal Oak Golf Course. He didn't have his best game ever- but at the end of the day- we all know who won!

Jasmine had her hair styled to perfection at Fashion Focus and then followed by a make-up application at MAC by artist Jenna Cade.

You have to know something about our bride- she's crafty! Jasmine has been planning meticulously and secretly coordinating all of the details including choreography with her fiance, Tony!

Jasmine looked so pretty in her Maggie Sottero champagne lace gown and her chocolate brown Delicious stilettos.... That was dress one!

Dress Two, was Jasmine's Princess Dress that she had dreamed about wearing her whole life topped off with the sexiest hot pink stilettos and a feather pin in her hair. She dressed like a princess but wore both gowns like a queen!

The wedding was officiated by Don Gunn who put together some beautiful vows.
Here are a couple of sneak peaks from the day...

Wishing you happiness, Tony and Jasmine! Hope you had the time of your life*!
Thank you to Photographers, Helene and Shealyn who helped me with this event!
