Baby Madison {Baby Portraitures} 4 Weeks, 6 Months and 1 Years Old!

I'm lucky to have the chance to photograph the growth of a baby...and how they grow so fast! I first photographed Madison when she was a tiny newborn and then a smiley 6 months old and now as a bubbly and hilarious 1 year old!

Here's Madison at just 4 weeks old...


Madison at 6 months old (look at those CHEEKS!! soooo cute!!)


And....Madison at 1 years old...she's such a happy little girl and my goodness she is so talkative! If only I were fluent in baby language. We had a lovely time at a park nearby.




Walking towards the park and Madison is already all smiles!






With her dad's cell phone....long distance?











What a happy little family! Thanks for having me photograph Madison grow!

Katherine & Thomas {Wedding Preview} Sunshine Coast

Katherine & Thomas were married on the majestic Sunshine Coast...definitely my new favorite BC getaway. Sigh...



This was taken at one of many surrounding lakes near Madeira Park, Sunshine Coast...what a gem! We didn't see any other cars or people for miles on end...what a gorgeous and quiet place to relax and take wedding photos!

Happy Hallowe'en! Afternoon at the park with a little lion.

Happy Hallowe'en everyone! It feels like Hallowe'en has snuck up on us this year again...
I took an afternoon last Saturday to take photos of my little nephew in his lion costume.. he makes a very good little lion as he roars at everything he sees.




what a cheeky little lion cub!

Liv & Thai {Wedding Day} Dr.Sun Yat Sen Garden + Victoria Chinese Restaurant

I'm now in the blogging mode! I wanted to post the weddings chronologically but I'm going to do a quick fast forward to a wedding in September because I just can't wait to put these photos up!

This is a wedding that was close to me... our friends Liv and Thai were finally getting married after 11 plus years together. Their wedding day was amazing... full of laughter, hugs, tears, surprises, more tears and dancing the night away with all of us. The night was oozing with love and it was truly a celebration of the love that Liv and Thai have for each other. These two are the best. They went off to their Jamaican honeymoon right afterwards and the week following they hosted their annual Thanksgiving dinner at their place for all of us 20 plus friends. Sweet!

The cutest thing about Liv is that I gave her a call right after the wedding and in her voicemail greeting she had already changed her last name! Now that's love.


Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden






























aww..cute Jack

Liv all ready for action...



This last photo is one of my favorites of the night...
Congratulations Liv & Thai!!

Leilani & Stephen {Wedding Day} Westwood Plateau

Finally I have a tiny bit of time to reflect on the past 5 months and start putting up some wedding photos!

We start on May 1 - the first summer wedding of the year and I'm asked by my friend Cathy who's a photographer in San Francisco to take photos at the reception of her friend Leilani and Stephen in Vancouver. You see, Cathy is a superwoman. She's a talented photographer (http://www.ckamphotography.blogspot.com) who moved to San Francisco for her regular job. I don't see her too often but when I do it's endless hours chit chat on life and photography. Cathy was also super pregnant, almost 8 months at that time so she photographed the first 8-9 hours and I photographed the reception portion. Yup, she is indeed a superwoman.

Leilani and Stephen's reception was held at Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club in Coquitlam and the night was filled with love and tons of kids! All the details were amazing as everything was handcrafted to perfection and each child had a personalized gift at their seat that kept them busy, which I'm sure was great for their parents. The night was capped off with a hilarious game of musical chairs with a twist which got quite competitive and it was won by the beautiful bride herself :)




yumminess in a cup

amazing handcrafted details

Mommy to be and photographer Cathy and hubby Randy... now proud parents of baby Tyler born 6 weeks after the wedding!




All children had a personalized bag of gifts and toys from Leilani & Stephen...boys supporting their new shades






Congratulations to Leilani & Stephen!
