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 […]
Nath wanted another branding session, this time with more nature (to contrast the city in the last session — you can see it here). So we walked around Thetis Lake and found interesting light and backgrounds for this one. Nath’s music is doing amazing in his home country of Cambodia. It’s so great to see […]
My friend Nath, already an internationally known bellydancer, has decided to release music in his native tongue of Cambodian. I don’t know what the music is saying but it is super fun. He needed some branding photos, so of course I said yes. These were all taken either at his condo complex or around downtown […]
I was thrilled when Shanon and Diana asked me to photograph their small backyard wedding at their house in Shawnigan Lake. Shawnigan is gorgeous and I ADORE backyard weddings. Less than thirty guests?? Fantastic. If big weddings and parties are your thing, then go for it, but if you just want to get married in […]
A few weeks ago, Mari and I took a walk down Dallas road to hunt beautiful light and beautiful cherry blossoms (which of course are my favourite). Taken with my lens baby… I love taking pictures with this lens, but rarely get the chance. There were people paddle boarding. In FEB!!! I love living here. […]
Val was the first person to say “I’m in” when I mentioned that I wanted to use smoke grenades. 🙂 Love the enthusiasm. I met Val at Saxe Point with her dog Diggs for a lovely walk through the forest and over rocks. Such a lovely day. Diggs was more than willing to […]
Ananda joined me early on a Saturday morning to tromp out to the waterfall at Goldstream Park for another installment of Women in Nature. It is a such an epic setting for a wonderful lady 🙂 I heart this waterfall so much. Isn’t this waterfall so beautiful?!?! Ananda considered wearing […]
Last weekend I had the honour of photographing the Arabian Night Revue here in Victoria, headlined by the amazing Mercedes Nieto and Mohammed Shahin. Azrakesh from Vancouver was our excellent MC. Hilarious. A lovely piece about a vision appearing and leading a man away. Asmira’s troupe did a piece that was brand new and one […]
OMG… I am so excited about using smoke grenades. Especially after this shoot. Sam is such a natural infront of the camera. And smoke grenades just add something. Plus, Thetis lake…. come on. So gorgeous. The hat was her grandpas… and I’m so glad she brought it to the shoot. Adds something… don’t know how […]
I met the Dickie family on a super sunny day at Macaulay Point for some family photos. Little mister wasn’t really feeling me at the beginning but eventually warmed up. Zee totally was feeling the model vibe. lol. Family snuggles I love MacCaulay Point. So beautiful. A little jump frog? Yes, please. […]
