i spend so much time working out perfect weather and light- but this mamma to be did not have time to wait on such things... we went for a big walk in vancouver in the rain- got soaked...
and i could not be happier- these seem so real life- so perfectly imperfect.

and some dryer inside options:)
cannot wait to meet the babe!
i remember hearing about this place- this cool place new to downtown where you could take cooking lessons/ eat great food- have fabulous drinks. it was called the dirty apron. around that time, a friend invited me a new waffle place called medina- lavendar chocolate and great coffee- as it turned out it was next to the dirty apron. and then a year ago we were in vancouver for the night and were told that we had to go to Chambar- that it would be amazing food- and it was. and... it was next to medina and the dirty apron. and then a few months ago i got a call- the owner of all three asking me to do photos. thrilled, honored, excited.
since then i have been obsessing with food photos and have had more opportunity open up. love when life falls into place like that.
here is a little peek at our first session together.

i love love the ocean... and with that- the islands-
any island:)
so i jumped at the opportunity to photograph a wedding with Rebecca Amber last weekend- the thought of a day on the island, a ferry trip- the chance to talk photography with another photographer... dreamy!
the absolute bonus was the wedding itself, the very stunning couple- the gorgeous gardens... everything.
loved every moment and am SO excited about the wedding season ahead:)

waa waa.... i don't have a little girl to send ot the father daughter dance:)
so to be as much a part of it as i can without being the creepy boy mom sneaking into the venue to watch and feel sorry for myself i stalk my friends with girls and take photos as a guise to feel a part of it!
xo- some friends... some dancers, and some little siblings:)
this beautiful mamma had her beautiful babies!
and i had the honor of photographing them last week.
When I walked into the house I saw this on a huge cavas:
In this house...
We do real, we do mistakes, we do I'm sorry, we do second chances, we do fun, we do hugs, we do forgiveness, we do really loud, we do family, we do love.
That sums it up.

and this one is hilarious to me.... its just so REAL life- babies cry and sometimes... its actually kind of funny! they are still perfect and adorable... but they cry- they are working out their little lives on the outside. i loved that these parents just went with it- enjoying it even... cause that is what life is- its the good, and the not so good... its the everything. its laughing and crying all at the same time.
"in this house we do real"
he is divine to me.
happy mothers day to all of you who love yours.

we met this amazing couple in Yasawa Fiji when we were photographing the YASAWA resort.
and we got to reconnect with them in Australia- so very very fun to meet Jack.... oh my goodness they love love love this little boy.
and he is truly divine... these smiles are all the time with him- amazing.
cannot wait until they come visit in whistler- i want to continue to photograph this little one for years to come! and maybe we will get dad in the next ones- he was golfing with Chad! lol

our favorite part of the trip was our time with friends... friends who know us, love us, teach our kids to surf, let us sleep in their house... and eat all of their food! friends who stay up all night talking becasue we only have a few night.

it was a day of kids, dance, creating, laughing, and had a great earth day eco spin... ridiculously fun and we cannot wait for the next one!
a special shout out to Collage Collage- I am still wearing my magazine bead necklace!
one mom said this "we spend almost all week telling our kids what to do, and where to go- how great to have this environment where all day they call the shots- i want to dance, lets do a craft- get photos taken and dance again-" ... that sums it up... it was full kid magic!
