Family Portrait

I met this fantastic family at Nicole & Geoff's wedding this summer and was really flattered when they asked me to take their family portrait in Tsawwanssen. Unfortunately, our first scheduled session had to be postponed on one of the rare days when BC ferries was nearly out of commission because of a bad storm. But we ended up having extremely beautiful weather on the new date and we mixed things up with some indoor and outdoor portraits. I have to say, this is probably *the* most photogenic baby I've ever seen... she couldn't stop giggling and laughing and her eyes were always so expressive. Here are a few favorites.

Today I had the chance to photograph this extremely fun family at UVic's Finnerty Gardens. It was a really nice day to be outdoors so we mixed things up with some documentary-style pictures and some playful traditional shots. The kids noticed the bamboo and it ended up making a great backdrop for pictures. I'll have to remember that next time I do a portrait session in the area.

Kayden

It really is a small world. I helped my friend (and amazing photographer) Eunice Montenegro photograph a portrait session and when we showed up at the door I realized Eunice's client was a girl I knew back in highschool (in Ontario!). And the kicker -- her sister (who we also hung out with) was visiting from Wales!! It was a very cool reunion. Julie adoped this beautiful little boy with her partner and it was great to get to know Kayden and take pictures as he played and ran around. Here are a few shots from the session.

Meet Eunice, Kirk & Jenna

As wedding season comes to a close (two weddings left for 2007), I thought I'd send an extra thank you to the three people who I partnered with this summer...the fabulous Eunice Montenegro, Kirk Klein and Jenna Tye. All four of us have our own photography businesses but we often team up to shoot together on projects. I couldn't ask for better friends or better people to work with. Here are some fun pictures from the 2007 year.


This is Eunice - en route back from Salt Spring Island. Eunice will go the extra mile for any client -- here she is holding a bouquet while taking a picture and we were both also the witnesses at an elopment back in May.

That's Jenna at Nicole & Geoff's wedding on Pender Island.

I love this picture of Jenna taking a picture of Cori in the rear-view mirror.

And here are a few of me. :) This was a self-portrait of me and Jenna with a fisheye - on the ferry back to Victoria from Pender Island. That's me and Eunice taking a quick break to review photos while dinner was being served at Karen & Amanda's wedding. One of the guests took this shot and gave it to us.

I can't remember who took the next series.. possibly Eunice or Jenna.. They always seem to take pictures of me when I'm laying on the ground, which I seem to do at almost all weddings. LOL
