Liam & Victoria’s Birthday | Project 2013: May

Liam’s 8th, and Queen Victoria’s 194th, was spent hiking at Harrison, hanging out on a beach, and later eating pizza and cake with family on our back patio.

There was the four of us, enjoying one of the most beautiful places on earth, in our (yes, I admit, planned) color-coordinated outfits. There was running back and forth from my camera to my family, since I forgot my remote control. Not to mention the fact that there was gifts, sunshine and a whole lot of loving for a wonderful little boy. (Yes, little. I’m in denial that he and Jade are growing up so quickly.)

Happy birthday, baby boy. We love you!

So excited about upcoming weddings and family sessions. BUSY SEASON is upon us. :)

Elly & Joe’s baby Casen | Chilliwack Newborn Photographer

Oh my dear. I may be a tad biased, since this baby is the newest member of my family….but is this little guy not one of the cutest babies you have ever seen???

Welcome, baby Casen (Cornelis Willem after Opa Kerkhoff) to this big, wide world.

Casen thought he’d show up 6 weeks early (3 weeks ago), so he spent the first couple weeks in Surrey and then Abbotsford’s NICU, but he’s been home for a week now and is doing great, and is already over 6lbs!

Yeah, we’re all fighting for him when they come over; who gets him first, and who’s held him the longest. Can you blame us? LOVE this kid already (…even if he did wake up half way through his session and refuse to go back to sleep, and even though he did pee all over his mommy while she was feeding him mid-session to try and put him back to sleep…)! :)

xoxo hugs and kisses for Casen. Enjoy the little dude, Joe and Elly; congrats!

Derek & Beck | Second Shooting a Wedding

When Jenita Devisser of Urban Fig Photography asked me if I’d be up for second shooting a wedding with her in early May, I jumped at the chance. I love second shooting, and thought it’d be fun to hang out with Jete for the day too…since she was Atmosphere Floors‘ first employee back in 2004! :)

As soon as we got to the bride’s house, I was sent off to go and shoot the guys getting ready. Hello guys, lookin’ good! Then I joined Jete back at the bride’s home for a few more pics before heading off to church and bridal party pictures at Gwynn Vaughn Park….

…before heading off to Island 22 for a few more shots…

I had such a great day, thanks Jete for having me along! I hope I didn’t interfere / do my own thing / forget that I wasn’t the first shooter too often. :D Loved shooting with you, and totally enjoyed meeting and shooting Beck and Derek. Thanks! :)

My first wedding of the season is coming up next Saturday! Looking forward to it. xo

beautiful!

Gorgeous!! Her dress is beautiful! Such a shame we only wear them for one day…I think we should have monthly events that we can wear them to:) For as long as we fit them that is:)

Super CUTE family… | Chilliwack Family Photographer

…as all my families that I shoot are, of course. :)

Christine works for our store, Atmosphere Floors and Design Centre, and it was great getting to meet her husband and adorable little boys. I must say, I love shooting families with little kids; the shoots end up being so spontaneous, and informal. Never a dull moment, you could say…and these kids certainly didn’t disappoint. ;)

Goodnight Sun, Hello Moon. These book pics couldn’t be cuter….if I might say so myself!

Tired baby needs his bed; photo-sessions are hard work! :)

Thanks Christine and Daryl! Hope you enjoy the pics as much as I LOVED shooting them. I’ll gladly shoot you guys any time.

Cheers

A sunny spring night…

Perfect for a drive, with my camera and kids in tow.

The tulip fields were rather lovely this year, as always. My favorite flower, with my favorite kids. Pretty hard to go wrong. :)

On the way home, we stopped on Ferry Road to check out what we used to call “The Backwash.” I can’t believe we used to swim in this swampy hole as kids! Such great memories though….
