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 […]

Tini’s & Toes Fundraiser

I had the opportunity to photograph a great event this week called Tini’s and Toes which was a fundraising event for the youUnlimited Walk/Run for the Cure Team supporting the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The event was held at a BEAUTIFUL house in Oak Bay with a breathtaking view of the ocean – I could […]

Kelly & Chad’s Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing Kelly & Chad – my first wedding of the year – last weekend in Duncan, BC.  Having only met Kelly once very briefly, I wasn’t sure quite what to expect. Let’s just say I had a freaking.amazing.time.  These people were a ridiculously fun and easy-going group who were up […]

Victoria Day Parade

I haven’t been to the Victoria Day Parade in years!!  The weather finally co-operated this year so we walked downtown with our coffees and lawn chairs in hand.  Despite my forgetting the Baileys in my coffee, it was actually pretty fun thing to do on a Monday morning. My favorite part was the beautiful Indian […]

Still Cute

This blog is only a month late (yikes!), but I have been so slammed lately, I haven’t had much time to write. We had my niece Ava for four days over Easter holidays and as tiring as it was, it was also a blast.   We took the kids swimming, went to the petting zoo, the […]

Heart Bokeh

So I’ve recently become obsessed with bokeh, specially heart shaped bokeh. I read a do-it-yourself guide to making your own bokeh shapes, tried the heart and it worked!  Now I can’t get enough.  Here are a few of my shots (not great pictures per-se, but just so you get the idea).   I just need […]
