Thanks to a Flower

It’s easy to get burnt out and forget why you are doing what you are doing.  Sometimes you just need to take a step back and find some inspiration to keep you going…..today I give thanks to a flower and some beautiful light for giving me perspective and reminding me why I work my ass […]

Boating Fun

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again – I love boating. I am fortunate enough to have good friends who own beautiful boats and that like me enough to invite me out with them all the time.  Last weekend my girlfriend’s nieces were in town so we took the kids out on the […]

New Lytro Camera – Crazy Technology!

I just heard about a new technology coming out shortly called the Lyto camera which has the technology to let you focus AFTER the picture is taken. CRAZY!!  I found a really informative article on it here.  The camera basically allows a picture’s focus to be adjusted after it is taken by giving you the […]

A Few Faves

In a pathetic attempt to try to organize my thousands of photos (is there such thing as a photo-hoarder?) I found some super old pictures from when I first got my DSLR and thought I would share a few of my favorite pictures from over the last few years.  This picture of my boyfriend’s son […]

Tini’s & Toes 2

Another great fundraising event for the youUnlimited Walk/Run for the Cure Team took place on Monday night and I was fortunate enough to get asked back to photograph the event.  After the original Tini’s and Toes I knew exactly what to expect – great company, pink martinis and amazing food and I was not disappointed.  […]

Park Time with the “Uncles”

These days Sunday funday has taken on a new meaning.  Usually it involves a beach or a park and some kidlets – today was Beacon Hill Park with our two adorable nieces Ava and Taya.  Taya used to be uber shy but now that she’s getting a little older she is coming out of her […]

Hipstamatic Times

I’m constantly amazed by technology. We recently purged our house and I found my original Nintendo game system tucked away in our storage compartment – how nostalgic.  It brought me back to the amazement I felt when I was a 5 year old girl opening my Christmas present to discover the craziest piece of technology […]

Children’s Portraits – Kady

If there’s one thing I know about two year olds it’s that they have the attention span of a squirrel.  FYI – a squirrel has an attention span on normal things of about one second and about four minutes on acorns and nuts. Don’t ask.   Anyways, I came equipped to the photo shoot with all […]

Tofino Getaway

For July long we headed up to beautiful Tofino, BC to do some surfing, beach lazing and just general hanging out.  With a group of 9 of us I was a little concerned about the house we were renting because we had never been there before but it was BEAUTIFUL.  The weather wasn’t exactly great […]

The London Chef

A girlfriend of mine was celebrating a milestone birthday last week and a group of us girls decided to do something really special and hire The London Chef to come and cook a dinner for us.   Here’s how it works:  after developing the menu to suit your tastes, the Chef comes to your house with […]
