Debbie & Mitch are getting hitched!

I love the snow as a backdrop for an engagement shoot - especially in contrast to an upcoming Summer Wedding. Creates a fun contrast!

The snow at Ryder Lake stuck around a little while longer and that is where we photographed the Engagement Photos for Debbie and Mitch. It was a little cold but that just meant they had to get little more cozy! Good luck with all the wedding plans guys! I am almost certain you wont be chilly during your August wedding. 

The homeowner Judy, was gracious enough to let me (once again) photograph the portrait on her beautiful property. I caught a glimpse of a big beautiful deer that wondered onto the property - that last time we missed. Thanks again Judy for letting us use your beautiful space!

  

Christmas with the Carne Family

When shooting the Carne family, I literally had to count to see if I had everyone in the shot! I think if I were a parent to five girls I would be missing at least one kid at all times.

I would be constantly reliving the KEVINNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!! moment from Home Alone. If not in real life, then definately in my dreams.

They really are a beautiful family. There is a lot of love to be shared and a lot of fun to be had when they are all together. Christina had the brilliant idea of shooting at Ryder Lake.

Chilliwack had gotten a little bit of snow but it was melting away. Ryder Lake is only a 5 min drive and they have piles of snow. We found a great snow filled property, with kind and welcoming owners and a funky looking treehouse and started shooting.

We barely lasted half an hour. It was really quite cold; especially when the kids started playing in the snow.

 

Merry Christmas Carne Family !

The Henderson Family 2011

I am so honored to be chosen by the Henderson Family once again to do their family portraits. Their family has now grown to include a beautiful baby girl. It is an honor to be able to document the growth of your family. Even with the hiccups that come with shooting an almost two year old and a 7 week old baby. The outcome was still great photos and with the bonus of a great story too! Have a great Christmas guys!
