Welcome to my new blogsite! Delving through the pages of this blog, you'll find galleries of some of the work I've done in the past, and recent posts with images of my life and photography sessions.
I live in Chilliwack, BC with my wonderful husband of 9 years and 2 great kids (a 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son).
I became interested in photography when my daughter was born, but it wasn't until I purchased my first Nikon DSLR in 2006, that I truly fell in love! :) I am a 2010 graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and have my Certificate of Graduation in Professional Photography. I am fascinated my photography's continuous learning curve.

(Cash or check only. Prices subject to change.)
My goal is to capture you and your family's unique and special connections. While I will take some more traditionally posed pictures, I also aim to capture your family having fun, relaxed and real...in fresh, and colourful images that capture your family and children's beauty and spirit.
I shoot with natural light, preferably in late afternoon or early evening, in either country or urban settings - let me know if there's a special place you'd like to go to!
While your clothing is, of course, entirely your choice, there are some elements that ad to a captivating image: layered clothing; outfits that co-ordinate with other sibling's outfits, but do no necessarily match exactly; and whimsical items such as hats, boots, scarves and umbrellas...but ultimately, comfort is key. If you're up for it, bring an outfit change for variation!
Feel free to bring items that reflect your family's hobbies and interests, and we'll incorporate them into the shoot.
While I do shoot literally hundreds of pictures during the shoot, I will select 40 - 65 (colour and black/white - edited according to my artistic discretion) images that are the most stellar and that meet my high standards, to present to you in a private, online album 7 - 10 days after your session. You will receive all of the high-resolution images that you purchase on a DVD for your viewing and printing.

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day, I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return." - Mary Jean Iron
