it is a quiet feud... no one really admits to it... but if you live in whistler... it is most likely that you think your neighbourhood is the best neighbourhood!
tapleys... bayshores... nordic... alta vista...
who has the street hockey, the out door ice rink... the cul de sac...
it took us a little while when we moved here... to really find where we wanted to live...
we are sold out on our home now... our park... our trails.... our pond and pet fish:)
and... our neighbours...
so it just felt right to photograph this family... in the "hood"
xo
btw. its bayshores... bayshores is the best:)
if you have been following my blog at all for any amount of time... you will know... that to me... girls sparkle... i mean really... being in a total boy house... i seriously see little girls and my heart melts...
these girls were no exception... they were beyond sweet and lovely and so so amazing with the new baby girl:) this was a return client... and it is most definitely the highest compliment to be asked to photograph a family again and again...
xo
it has been a joy to photograph this family as they have grown up.... but it is also sort of sad when i see everyone growing up... when a client comes to the session and even though i know 2 years have passed... part of me still expects to see a baby! everyone says this goes quickly... but wow... it really does... kids grow... time passes. maybe i will stop feeding mine:) xo
there is jadyn... my jadyn and then there is jaden.... the "other" jadyn...
i am sure it goes something like that is there house too... this jaden is kind and sweet... and fun. and just the kind of boy you want your kids to be around. we are thankful for this family. the "other" jaden is amazing... and it must have something to do with his parents:)
xo
just loved the light and the captures from this family...
from three to four, and I feel super honored that i got to be there when they became two

it was amazing to be with this beautiful couple again... remember them from their beautiful wedding a couple years ago? well... now... they have an addition to their amazing life... and it was an honor to be invited into this next season of their life together. xoxo
I have been thinking a lot about my philosophy of photography lately... Why do I do what I do... and how I do it... and what I want to do... what I want to capture...
...what I want to bring into my work even more... is what I want to remember...
The image that makes you feel... laugh... cry.
These images do that for me... they are moments captured... real moments. Not perfect... just real.
This is my friends Heidi's family.... She has a blog and it is beyond great... I never get past a post without crying, resonating... laughing... Take some time over there... it will make you a better person!
xo
I love these swing photos...
Remember this sweet bump, and then baby?
I LOVE LOVE when I get to go back... as they grow... and change... and capture just a whole other part of the journey of being a baby... being loved... adored... delighted in...
It is always an honor to photograph this family.... i feel so much creative freedom to just be me... see the way I see... and photograph the way I love too...

my most favorite place to garage sale is in bellingham... the great finds like these rollar-skates and faux fur coat... $4.00 thank you very much top the list... but I also came home with a new mid century style coffee table and side table! add a trip to trader joes and a weekend with my god daughters and bestest friends just top it all off...
wanted to post just a few photos from our time... i am reminded again to bring my camera out more often and to just photograph life. XO
I think the biggest compliment in my business is return clients. I always feel so honored to be asked back into a family... and to photograph not only the interactions, but also the changes in the family!
I photographed this family years ago... click here to see
I was freaking out that they grew so much... but yes... that is what happens!
This mamma is also a super business savvy and I love to just listen to all her ideas, her wisdom... I am like a sponge when I am around her and always leave inspired by her parenting, her business... everything.
Plus on top of everything this session got me a day in Bowen Island... and I know that the ocean and Islands are my refuge. XO This was a good day!

I LOVED this wedding from a couple years ago.... and was thrilled when they were visiting family in Whistler over the weekend and called me to photograph their growing family!
AS my business grows... this is fast becoming one of my favorite parts of the job... return clients, and being a part of all the "life" that comes after marriage. xo
