The Alexander Family

Start with a great family and their new house. Find a beautiful empty room with serene gray walls, gorgeous hardwood floors and perfect light. Add the cutest little one year old and her little green summer dress and TA DA... some of my favourite images of the year.

Thank you Alexander family (and Auntie C) for such a great great session.

The Thompson Family

On Thanksgiving Monday, while all the turkeys were roasting away in the oven, I got to hang out with the Thompson Family. It was so great to meet all of Diane's family, especially her two adorable girls who are so full of love and joy. I had a great time hanging out with the girls and their teddy bears as well as watch a little ferry dance around. Oh, and these two little girls have THE most amazing blue eyes ever - just stunning! Thanks for such a great session guys - enjoy your sneak peek of just some of my favourite images.

Happy Birthday Makena!!!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting little Makena who was celebrating his first birthday. Unfortunately he was a little under the weather but was such a trooper none-the-less. We got to start the morning off with a few quick portraits and then it was off to an amazing first birthday bash complete with the Aloha spirit. For now, here are a few faves from the portrait half of the day. Enjoy!

New Orleans - Part 1

Well, I'm home! What can I say about 'the big easy'... First off, the architecture and colour is addictive and I could have shot a lot there. Secondly, Brad Pitt was there and I missed him =( Some people from the conference saw him on his bike, and then quickly saw the Paparazzi chasing after him. Though I didn't see Brad Pitt, I did see James Gandolfini from the Soprano's while eating lunch - he took special notice of us but I think that was because of our giant cameras. The workshop was wonderful and not only did I get to learn from those whose workshops I signed up for ( the Amazing Lena Hyde, Jesh De Rox and Jessica Claire) but also got to meet soooo many other amazing Industry photographers like Jerry Ghionis, Tamara Lackey and Joe Photo. I can't forget the amazing people I met in the workshops too who really helped to make the whole experience fun for me. It was great times and though I have lots to say I thought I'd move right into some of the amazing pics I got to take of our models while there (Since that's what most of you really want to see). Enjoy!

The first day I was in Lena Hyde's class and so we had a few moments to see how she works with children - aren't these two super cute. I L-O-V-E the red skirt, note to clients I am MORE than up for fun, flirty, girly skirts for your daughters.

This was a shot I quickly grabbed while walking through the lobby - two models are waiting for their massive group of photographers - SO BEAUTIFUL!

These are from the workshop with Jessica Claire. The first two were shot while Jessica was posing the couple and many of the rest were set up my moi and other members of our group.

OUT OF THE OFFICE

Hi Everyone! Well this is just a note to say that I'm packing up and heading out again. I'm off to New Orleans for an amazing photography workshop called IMAGE X 08. I'll be gone until next Thursday so please be patient with me as I won't be checking email or answering the phone. Stay tuned for photos as I explore and should be out shooting amazing models in the french quater =)

Christina

What a great way to start off the month of October than with a portrait session in Gastown. Christina contacted me a few weeks ago in need of a few new headshots for her performances and I was super excited to get together with her. I don't get the opportunity to do headshots or single portrait sessions very often but I absolutely love them. It's so great having so much time shooting one person and getting to know them better and in the end, especially with Christina, I feel like I've made a new friend. Thanks Christina for such a great session and enjoy a few faves.

I know it's going to be one amazing session when this is the first shot out of the camera.
