Outnumbered

Lianne is definately outnumbered but I dont think she minds.

Her boys will be lucky in life if their future wife is similar to the woman who raised them. Martin and Lianne are a fine example of a great marriage. That is a huge part of being a good parent - being a good wife/husband.

I am very happy to have Lianne as my friend. I think our friendship makes me a better person. She is so caring and generous to her friends and family. Thanks Lianne!

Hamel Portrait

A family portrait just in time for Christmas. What a great family the Hamel's are! Michelle is also my hairdresser and a fantastic one at that. She has a salon in Chilliwack called Awesome Hair by Michelle.

Dustin owns a company called Ace Signs. This photo Dustin put onto large magnets which will be sent out with thier Christmas cards. They turned out really well.

This photo they enlarged and framed in their living room. I am always surprised which one people will choose to frame. That is why I always try and include many choices on the disc my clients get. Sometimes narrowing it down is still quite difficult.

Party of Five

The Ferguson kids (not really kids anymore) are each really busy and to get them together for a portrait was begining to look impossible. So I thought I would shoot them individualy in my studio space using the same backdrop and try merging them together. I hoped it would end up looking like they were actually in the shoot together.







Can you tell who were added later? (It was the two youngest boys in the purple and black).

My Baby Love

Nothing quite captures the attention of a couple in love, more than their first baby.

I love what a baby does to a couple in love. As their relationship and new parenting skills are tested their confidence grows - and over a short period of time they become a gentle force that's strength might surprise you.

I was really excited to shoot the Giles family's first family portrait. We started the shoot in their bedroom - where most young families spend a lot of their time in the first year of their babies life.

We took some shots on the front steps of their home in Chilliwack. We included their dog - who is still a big part of their lives.

I like the idea of using your home as a backdrop to a family photo. Especially if you have some great front steps to gather on. When you look back on the photos you will not only reflect on the people in the photo but also the family home. Which plays a big part in out lives and our memories.

We moved to the Herron Reserve which makes a lovely backdrop for a family photo. For the first little while we shot with a sleeping Kiara and surprisingly when she did wake up she wasnt too upset. Lucky us!

They are a truly beautiful family inside and out. Kiara is a lucky girl. Her parents clearly love her very much. I wish the best to them and hope to be a part of the next family portrait.
