Worth the Wait

Colleen, Scott and Julian and I have been trying to get together for some time now. Between weather, illness and bruises that deserve no place in a photo shoot, it has taken us this long to get it right.
We had the perfect evening. Sunshine, the perfect amount of wind, a gorgeous scene. A very active...

Princess Treya Turns Three

I cannot believe it. Three years has passed like no time at all. And here we are surrounded by princess dresses and lip gloss and hair accessories. Magic wands and dancing shoes and pretty plaid skirts. Bigger words and a new found and ever growing personality.

Barely Sunrise

More and more sunny mornings are on their way! And the Frosts and I found one the other day, and ventured out to greet it.
Lucky for us, a warm house, flannels and hot coffee were waiting back at home.
Here is a tiny sneak peek from the first half of the shoot. Sunny? Yes. Warm? We’re...

Quadra Island, Reconnection, Chocolate Eggs.

One of the greatest things about having a blog is that it serves as a wonderful diary.
This post is as much about documenting the weekend for my family as it is about sharing with friends and clients. It is a ‘weekend in the life’ type post, so it’s a long one!
Quadra Island is a great...

For all those April Fools

Every year, I try to come up with something funny to do for April Fool’s Day. And every year I fail. I just can’t get it together before noon!
But no worries.
My 10 year old nephew took care of it this year.
He had an orthodontist appointment that morning. He greeted the staff, sat in the chair,...
