This year I am taking part in Shimmy Mob, which is an international fundraiser for Women’s Shelters. Shimmy Mobbers take part in a bellydance flash mob to bring awareness and raise funds for a local shelter. Victoria’s team has raised money for the last few years for the Cridge Transition House for Women (which is […]
This family has me every year to photograph them in their home and this is my favourite type of session! We get the kids as they are. Ryan is never into the photos until I ask him to jump on his bed. Then he’s all in. I asked James to show me his rocket which […]
Five kids under 10? I had to use all my tricks for this shoot. Good thing I have so much experience with children. These kids were pretty awesome! I get regular family photos. But I really like these ones. Real life is photogenic! Look at this cool dude. Extended family. I didn’t notice the little […]
What do you do when you want photos and you have an active toddler? Go with the flow…. because at the end of the day, you will get photos that reflect the real state of your family. These photos were taken at Esquimalt Gorge Park, which is a hidden gem in our city. hehehe, look […]
Sometimes I think I don’t need to workout because I’m a kids photographer. This guy had me running and squatting so much to keep up with him. He is all about the sports! I have done three sessions at Hatley Castle for this family. I love returning to the same site, so you can have […]
Sometimes I get calls for photos right away, as it is the only time family is going to be in town. I’m happy to oblige, but man, was this day a hot one. But with kids this cute, it was a joy. These photos were to be a gift for grandma. I bet she was […]
Sometimes parents come to me with expectations about the photos they are going to get and how their children are going to act. Nothing turns a photography session faster than parental expectations, especially with toddlers. Toddlers don’t understand the “look at the camera and smile”. Actually, I don’t understand this either. Toddlers are magic in […]
Childhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child’s eye – it is very beautiful. Kailash Satyarthi I recently took a course and the instructor said that she wasn’t focused on what childhood ‘looks’ like, she was interested in what it ‘feels’ like and how to photograph that. That concept immediately stood out […]
I met this family on what was probably the coldest day of the year! OMG! This little man was a trooper. Look at that cute little face. It’s easy to be brave when you have strong hands to guide you. I love this one. There is this grove of trees that gives the most […]
I was excited to head back to this family’s house to photograph their kids again. So cute. So fun. This guy was just a baby last time I was here. He’s getting big — and strong. Look at that smile. A is not afraid of the camera. lol. I love catching kids doing things they […]
