Kirra Turns Two | Sneak Peek

Here's just a sneak peek of this morning's session. Two year old Kirra in her pinterest inspired hot air balloon:) Love my job!

Sendall Gardens Extended Family Session

I met up with this extended family right after the littlest member, Elias, age 11 weeks, was dedicated at church. The other grandson, Cameron, kept us busy! Here they are enjoying some family time at Sendall Gardens...

Riley & Kivani | Abbotsford Family Session

Love this family. Love these kids. Tessa and Simon are friends of mine that I met, oh, 16 years ago at UBC. We've stayed in touch and although I wish we could see each other more often, I'll take what I can get:) In the past year or so they have experienced so much loss. The reason I mention it is because I have had some loss in my life and therefore, taking photos of my family helps me to celebrate what I do have. So, here they are capturing their awesome family and celebrating these beauties. Love you guys!!!! Enjoy.

{Trying to get a picture with Tenge, the dog, sitting still is quite the feat. I actually did get one of him sitting but this one below is kinda funny:)}



Riley and Kivani with the statues which symbolize Tessa and her younger brother, Tye. Tye passed away suddenly just a few months ago.

Amy & Emma | Sisters

This mini session was super last minute (I think we decided the night before?!) but so fun. I taught Kim when she was in grade 9 and we've stayed in touch over the years thanks to blogging and facebook. Recently, we each had a baby girl, just weeks apart. Kim had a chair that I was interested in borrowing and long story short, we did a little swap. I got to take pictures of her gorgeous kiddos and I've also inherited a lovely pink chair:)

These photos were taken in their backyard and it was perfect. Just a little shade, some beautiful girls with adorable headbands/barrettes, and this is what you get:)

Kim, so great to see you again and to spend some time with your super lovely girls!

Back To School | Part Two

If you haven't seen Part One, or know what this event was all about, check back here:) And now, for the rest of the beautiful kids that participated in our event.....

Enjoy!

I would love to do this event again next year, it was a lot of fun!

Back To School | Part One

I love photographing kids!!! I put this fundraiser together on Saturday and it happened on Monday! So last minute but I thought that if we are celebrating our kids going back to school (or school for the first time!), we can help someone else go to school as well. There is a school in Kabala, Sierra Leone that was built and sponsored by the school that Kai goes to and Gary teaches at. We raised enough in the 2 hours of mini sessions to pay for one student to go to school for the year. You can read more about sponsorship here.

I get nervous trying something new, I guess everyone is afraid of failure, but I'm so glad it was a success and it has encouraged me to take more risks:)

Here are some absolutely beautiful kids, inside and out, from the first hour of our event. I love capturing a kid's favourite book or new back to school outfit or just things that make them `them'. I know each kid has similar photos to the others but I still want to show them all:)

Thank you to all of the families that participated, to Gary for doing all the heavy lifting, and to my friend Maria for running the welcome table and being a chalkboard writer extraordinaire:). Stay tuned for more wonderful kiddos in Part 2!

Back To School Photos

I know this is so last minute but because the weather is supposed to be good and I love this time of year...

We have sponsored a child for the last three years and would love to be able to sponsor more students!

Space is limited so please email to book your time slot!
