TGIF! Happy Father's Day

Over the last year, I've met many new fathers and I've been lucky to capture precious dad and baby moments.

To all you dads, especially to those who are celebrating your first father's day with your new little one, have an amazing father's day weekend!

TGIF! Smiles...

10 random things that make me Smile:

1. The sound of my baby nephew's hardy laugh
2. The thought of getting a foot massage with a chilled sangria in my hand
3. Hearing any song by Barry White out of the blue
4. The word "va-ca-tion"
5. Going down memory lane with friends from highschool
6. The "ping" sound that lets me know that my DVD is completely burnt
7. Seeing older people holding hands and being so in love
8. Seeing friends and clients post the photo I took as their Facebook profile photo
9. Watching my parents play with their grandson (my nephew)
10.Knowing that it's Friday and the weekend is here

Enjoy the sun!

An Amazing Weekend for BC Children's Hospital Foundation

This weekend was the Miracle Weekend to raise funds for BC Children's Hospital Foundation. One of the events was the 24th Annual HSBC Childrun on Sunday which had over 5000 participants and raised over $300,000 for the foundation.

I volunteered as one of 5 official photographers for the event and wow...I am honoured to be a part of this event!

So many little faces, so many big stories. I'm already excited about next year's 25th anniversary event!

Ready, set, GO!!! I was lucky to be chosen to go on the scissor lift to have the best view for the start of the run.



Parents, teens, kids and dogs ran the 5K and 1K. This golden retriever's name is "Dude"

TGIF! Need a break from the hot weather?

Happy first Friday of June everyone and welcome SUMMER!

Just wanted to share this photo with you... this was taken during my summer in London in 2004 at the Queen's birthday celebration parade.

It makes me smile everytime I look at this photo... while everyone else was marching in unison, this guard was taking a stroll in Hyde Park. Where is the guard going? Is he escaping?? It was a hot day and he must have been sweating in that! Maybe he's going to go change into some short shorts because that's definitely not summer attire.

Enjoy your weekend and the heat! I'm going to watch Les Miserables at the Stanley Theatre tonight (woohoo!) and photographing the HSBC Childrun this Sunday so I'm excited!
