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!

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
