Mom Susan - what can one say….. everything is perfect! your pics, your blog, your uniqueness in every shoot you do (gotta love the love and peace signs) and of course your fabulous locations.

i have met some amazing people while teaching at vic (victoria school of the arts). these guys are WAY up at the top of that list. i have had the honour of teaching both the kids- miss claire when i was doing my student teaching and she was in grade two and then mr. nathan was in my grade six class this year. i always looked forward to celebration’s of learning so i could visit with their parents (in between talking about school, of course!).

it was a perfect sunday afternoon spent capturing these guys. enjoy the images and click here for a slideshow of even more!

you know it is going to be a great shoot when this is the first shot of the session!

though stinky, this alley had some great spots for us!

these next few make my heart smile)))))

every time i look at these pics i laugh out loud. bahahaha!!! i think it is the look on nathan’s face. priceless!

nathan is so effortlessly cool.

claire is going to break some hearts.

awwww. love.

i think this one is my fave from their session.

jaime and david :: married

Wednesday, August 11, 2010 1:26 am

jaime and david were married on saturday! the day was full of love and family. it was a record amount of family portraits i took and a record amount of tears i shed during the father/daughter dance. oh, love!

i am working away at my weddings and portrait sessions so won’t have time for full blog posts for a week or so. for now, you will have to enjoy little peaks! i hope they make you smile…

::edited to add:: click here for a slideshow!! enjoy!

this first one jumped out at me right away.

and i looooved jaime’s bouquet.

work-it

i thought this image was asking for me to do something to it so i have been playing around. if you :like: electric green on facebook you already saw the black and white one. what do you think about the one below? it isn’t usually my style of processing but lately this has been making me happy with a couple of pics here and there!

i can’t put my finger on exactly why this is my fave image. i think it is the look on jaime’s face. love.

i will have a couple more small posts up for you this week. stay tuned!

ashley and buu :: anytime :: love

it is amazing what you can do in 10 minutes. literally 10 minutes of shooting. we had to cut our session WAY short due to the killer mosquitos outside. we felt like we were in a war zone. lol!! i know that buu was heartbroken about such a short shoot. don’t worry buu- we will schedule a re-shoot

buu and ashley are so in love and adorable together. this was one of the first shots out of my camera.

as you can tell, ashley laughs a lot! it is a great laugh and got me going too.

there are only subtle differences between these two but i can’t decide which one i like best…

about a block away from my home is/was this amazing location with so many options for places to shoot. i have shot there twice already and came back tonight to use another spot. when we came over the little hill i found all the beloved buildings torn down. how stinky. i loved living so close to an amazing spot with literally a dozen location options within the one area. anyhoo, the property owner still has the cars out so we got busy!

i had some fun processing this image. my goal was to get it to look like a pic i would pull out of an old shoebox from the top of my grandma’s spare bedroom closet.

look at these two- they are going to make cute babies one day

despite the killer skeeters and the mini-mini shoot i am in love with these images!! thank you buu and ashley!

bursting with pride :: personal

this past weekend drew, bree, and i (along with my mom and dad and kelly’s mom and dad!) took a little road trip to calgary to watch my sister and bother-in-law compete in their first ever 1/2 IronMan. WOW!

what is an IronMan you might ask. it is “the world’s most prestigious one-day endurance event”. in the IronMan 70.3 (the 1/2) athletes begin with a 1.9 km swim, move on to a 90 km bike, and then end with a 21km run (that is a half marathon!). isn’t that incredible?! my sister began her race at 6:30am with kelly’s age group starting about 15 minutes later. with miss bree in tow and a hotel room to pack i didn’t make it to the swim or get to see the bike. drew, bree, and i arrived to watch the bike transition and cheer them on during the run. eeeeek! it was so exciting. seeing abby and then kelly race in on their bikes and through their transition to their run was thrilling. then, we found a great location and got to see them twice on their run.

abby and kelly have been training for this for months and it was an inspiring and incredible thing to watch and be a part of. i am so proud of both abby and kelly. their commitment and athletic ability is something to admire and aspire to. they are taking a brief two week break from training (although on the way home from calgary they were overheard talking about their next run!!) and will then be resuming training for a FULL IronMan in arizona in november.

here is miss abby right at the end of the bike portion! i love that it looks like she is smiling and that woman is yelling at her.

abigail. 341.

here she is transitioning. both kelly and abby couldn’t stop complimenting the volunteers at the race. abby especially loved this lady who helped her!

i love this one! she was yelling something to me…

now here comes kelly! can you say quads?!

almost ready to take off and start his 1/2 marathon run!

here is ab at about 18km. easy peasy;-)

kelly at 18km.

miss abby crossing the finish line!! i love how she doesn’t even look very tired. she has only been working out for 6 hours STRAIGHT!

i didn’t manage to catch kelly’s finish but i did get these sweet moments of them after the race! awwwwww. i love how the mans arm is blocking their pda in the second one.

miss bree had to make a cameo! the skeeters were CRAZY so she had to stay in here to cheer on her auntie and uncle! she had lots of fun and was so proud of abby and kelly too.

changed and ready to do it again?!

what an amazing event to watch. i couldn’t be more proud of my little sister. her and kelly are truly amazing athletes!!

i hope we get to go cheer them on in AZ this fall and watch them become IronMen!!
