Monday Blues?

Super happy baby Keelan has the power to cure your Monday blues!

(This is just a sneak peek from my photo session with adorable 3 and a half month old Keelan. I couldn't wait to post this photo up - thanks to parents Tetsu & Kara. I had a blast!)

A busy February!

I sat down with my calendar and realized that I'll be working 25 out of the 28 days in February! This of course includes my day job and working on photography shoots.

I feel busy but then I think about the other professions that work like mad. Like an accountant during tax season...those are some crazy hours, or an elementary school teacher during report card time...I have lots of respect for them. Also, MOTHERS! They're basically working 24/7 for their employer, "the baby" without any weekends or time off. I also wonder how working mothers do this...40 hrs at the regular job and then go home to their second employer, their child or children. Now that's amazing!

So my February photo sessions and events include:

-Baby & Family photo sessions
-Graduation event for an international college
-Photo shoot for a trendy store in Kerrisdale for their upcoming website launch

Hopefully I'll have some time in between to blog and put some photos up, especially those wedding photos! Have a good week everyone and a Happy Valentine's too!

Baby Love Collection - 19 Adorable Babies in 3 Minutes!

Happy February! I can't believe we're already into the second month of 2009! Time is sure passing by at super speeds!

I've had time to sit down and make a photo story of all the photos of babies, ages 3 weeks to 12 months old that I have taken in the last year. There were 19 of them, all so adorably cute and precious.

Have a look - I've made the photostory with the music of Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's famous medley "Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World".

Enjoy, and thanks to all the parents who had me do portrait sessions of their little one :)

Getting ready for 2009 Weddings!

It seems like there's been a flurry of activity with preparations for weddings this past month! There's definitely a wedding buzz going around...

So far, I will be going to 10 weddings this year! Some of them are weddings of friends so I will be attending as a guest and some are weddings that I will be photographing.

I even have an invite to go to a wedding in PARIS! We'll see though...

It looks as though it's going to be an exciting year! Congratulations to all the couples that got engaged recently :)

Newborn Baby Adriana at almost 5 weeks old!

Last August I was the photographer for Phil & Kayoko at their gorgeous wedding reception at Hotel Vancouver. From that night I met Toni who was the wedding coordinator for Hotel Vancouver and she was almost 7 months pregnant! You know how some women just look good pregnant? Like Rachel Green on "Friends" when she was pregnant? Well, Toni looked GREAT pregnant! She was looking for a baby photographer as she had already booked her maternity photos with Eclipse Photography in North Vancouver.

She booked me 2 months before her baby was even due!

In November, little Adriana was born and I got to meet her for the first time when she was almost 5 weeks old. Adriana is so precious and a natural in front of the camera...even at 5 weeks old she knows how to pose! We took lots of mother and baby shots and dad Rafael got into it too. Adriana's grandma and auntie also got into some of the fun as well.

Here's some photos:
