Silly Dog Hailey!

I love dogs. They love you no matter what and all they ask for is just a little bit of attention... okay a lot of attention.... but they deserve it.

There's one dog in particular who is very dear to me - her name is Hailey and she's my friend Jen's golden retriever. She is the most sweetest dog and she just wants to be everyone's best friend.

Here's a couple of photos that I've taken of her in the last little while.

More photos of silly dogs & cats will be coming!

Newborn Baby Colin at 1 week old! Mini Photo Session

This summer really has been the summer of newborn boys! I had a chance to do a mini photo session of Alex & Candace's precious tiny baby Colin when he was just 1 week old! He was so tiny (I think he was about 6 lbs at the photo session) but so alert and looked straight in to the camera lense like he knew what he was doing! We got some great family photo and tried even mimicking poses that Brangelina did with their babies... it was all good and fun! hehe!

Here's a few photos from the mini photo session :) Thanks to Candace & Alex!

Baby Alessandria at 6 months old! Mini Photo Session

I took photos of this mini princess a few months back and she so much fun to photograph! Even though Alessandria was 6 months old it seemed like she was already posing and she definitely loves the camera!

Thanks to Carman & Hiep!


Here's a few photos from our mini photo session.

Photographing Newborns while they are still TINY!

I find photographing newborns to be such a rewarding experience because they really are only so little for only so long. To really capture them when they are all wrinkly and in the fetal position like in Anne Geddes photographs, the babies are usually under 2 or 3 weeks old so time is really of essence!

If you are expecting or know of someone who is expecting and is hoping to have newborn portraitures taken, I would definitely suggest to book a photo session about 3 to 4 weeks in advance if possible so you don't miss capturing that special time:)

Here's a few photos of newborns that I've taken in the past few months.

Michelle & Dave - Couple in Love Photo Session - Country Style!

Last month I had a blast up in Shuswap with this country lovin couple, Michelle & Dave. We stayed at their friend's lakefront cabin and lived the life of luxury with speedboating, pina coladas and the warm sun. Thanks Michelle & Dave, you guys rock!!!

BC Day Hike - Group Photos!

There's no better way to spend BC Day than to do some hiking with friends! The view from the top of Cypress was gorgeous and well worth the almost 2 hours through the mud!

Thanks Wilson for thinking of this for your bday!

Summertime Festivities in Vancouver! Pride Parade & Powell Street Festival

It's BC Day long weekend and this means colourful festivities in Vancouver! This year with my new zoom professional series lense in hand we ventured out and toughed the crowds at the Pride parade and then headed over to Oppenheimer Park for the annual Powell Street Festival for some Japanese street food and Japanese culture.

Here are a few of my favorites from today :) I LOVE my new lense!
