rain and a bump

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. 

xo

and some dryer inside options:)

cannot wait to meet the babe!

beyond honored to be a part of this family's life... and capturing the moments that seem to pass by us so quickly in the everyday. i love love this image. just love it. becasue it is just an inbetween moment that otherwise would not have been captured without the camera there- its the simplicity of these photos that make me thrilled to give this gift. xo

vegas baby....

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

 

 

awaiting

was an amazing afternoon spent with this couple as they await and anticipate new life:)

xoxo

this first one makes me laugh so much.... great expressions!

cannot wait to meet and photograph the little one... xoxo

 

bump and life

i love walking into a clients house and feeling like home... 

immediately felt an extra surge of creativity with the art, style, and home of this couple. 

 

the day was stunning... fresh snow and bright sun... 

add an amazing dog, some chickens, and an expresso machine and the morning was perfect! 

enjoy... xo

photographing creative people is so inspiring to me...

ahhhhh..... i want this to be me!

yes... random tiger... but it really made me laugh! 

baby bump and pug...

fantastic bump and a fabulous lady! 

just a friend... a coffee and a few pictures!

baby bump

I am pretty sure it is wedding photographer etiquette not to have a 'favorite' wedding.... and really if i am honest i could not pick just one... BUT... if i could pick a few... this one would be on the list... 

the setting... the decor, the dresses.... and absolutely the really fun and sweet bride and groom... 

remember this one?!

 

 

 

i know... super cute!! 

so... i was thrilled to hear they were having a baby... 

and we had such a fun time reconnecting to photograph the bump!! 

baby is due in a month... and i cannot wait to meet the little bean! xo

 

 

 

we also wanted to duplicate this photo!

we had so much fun!

coffee shop in vancouver, pregnant mama!

this last week i went to my most favorite city to meet this amazing family... we walked commercial street... went for coffee... and captured life. it is my most favorite part of photography... just capturing real life... people loving each other, doing things they love. 

mix in a bump... anticipation and excitement about new life... and it's magic.

beautiful bump.... maternity pictures

well... this time we lucked out with the weather!! 

the sun was falling perfectly through the trees as we walked to the beach... 

and this couple... ahhhhh.... 

so in love... so true. 

so beautiful. 

an honor... this job is simply an honor. 

xo

oh... and this... this light is why 7pm sessions are perfect!! 

vancouver maternity pictures in the rain...

we got rained out for this session.... 

but when we met i knew immediately that the rain did not matter... that is was completely meant to be... 

instead of meeting together on the beach i ran upstairs to the cutest apartment full of light, color and texture. and in the midst of rescheduling the session i asked if i could just shoot a couple in the apartment. the mini impromptu session was maybe 20 minutes. 

we will do another shoot on the beach as planned but i have a feeling that these will be my favorite. 

it is just real life... time and moments captured. 

xo

i am continually blown away by my clients. they are the most humble and inspiring of people. 

no one ever comes to me with who they are... it is always through the session that the story reveals itself. it is the chit chat while shooting, the paying attention to the little details (a photo on the wall, an accessory, a story, a shared laugh)... this story revealed a most talented actress and a gifted artist... i cannot stop listening to this music!

Los Angeles Baby pictures

 a few more photos form LA with the 'scout'

xo

los angeles maternity pictures of....bargret....

that is what they are calling the babe to be... a nice mixture between ben and margret!! LOL

that was one of the many laughs we had this weekend... it was just wonderful to spend a whole weekend capturing these beautiful interesting, inspiring couple... we spent their typical weekend together... drinking coffee, lounging around the house, walking at the beach, riding bikes and having dinners with friends. 

it was so inspiring for me... for many reasons. one is that it was a much needed break form the eternal winter in whistler... and two this is such a creative couple. margaret works for HBO, and Ben is a cinematographer..... so the ideas for photos... the talk of all things visual... was amazing. 

it was a wonderful weekend and i am leaving refreshed and excited about the season ahead. 

xo

we used the cinematography aspect of life in these.... Ben with an old film camera....
