remember that glorious sunshine {victoria family photographer}

On a grey day like today it is nice to remember what it was like well into October.  As I am still behind with posting, here are a few favorites from a family session I had during that time.  

the last days of summer {victoria family photographer}

I am still editing my late August and early September sessions.  Here are a few favorites from a recent family session.

elaine & felix, 25 august 2012 {victoria wedding photographer}

A beautiful day for a wedding.  There was a little bit of everything, a beautiful ceremony at St. Andrews, icecream at the Beacon Drive Inn, pictures at the Delta, the Parliamentary Building and the waterfront on Dallas Road.  A perfect day for a lovely couple.  Congratulations, Elaine and Felix!

josienne & lee, 4 august 2012 {victoria wedding photographer}

We had a fun time photographing Josienne and Lee's wedding.  Even though it was a very hot weekend, everybody stayed cool and relaxed.  Thanks so much Josienne, Lee and the entire bridal party for making our job easy.  Congratulations!

family fun {victoria portrait and children's photographer}

My summer has been so busy with sessions, family visiting from Europe and trips around the island and into the interior.  So no wonder, I am behind with my editing and blogging.   Here are a few favorites from a session I had in the early part of summer.  Thank you to all my families for waiting so patiently for their portraits.

 

family time {victoria family photographer}

I have been neglecting my blog for good over a week now and need to catch up on all the great family sessions I had lately.  Meeting this family again after one year was really nice.  I took portraits of this little man when he was a newborn and seeing him one year later is so wonderful.

a sweet afternoon {victoria childrens photographer}

So many beautiful images from this session.  This young lady is turning 4 this year and I have been taking her pictures every year.  She was so excited to see me and was so ready to have her pictures taken.  She even made the beautiful hearts with her mom.  

so little and so precious {victoria baby photographer}

This beautiful baby girl was just 5 days old when I photographed her last week.  So precious and tiny.

A big thank you again to Denise's mom for making me this beautiful colorful blanket which I love using.

 

an afternoon at the beach {victoria children's photographer}

Last weekend we met at Willows Beach to take some family pictures.  An overcast day, not too cold, a few drizzles, but beautiful even light for some great captures.  I have known both children since they were newborns and I have taken their pictures over the past few years.  It never stops to amaze me how quickly they change and I love to see their different personalities grow and shine.

little sweetie {victoria childrens photographer}

I had so much fun photographing this young lady.  She was chatty, curious, and super cute.  And she brought along her big Bernese Mountain Dog which we tried to get in the picture as well.  A bit of a challenge because he liked the ocean too much and ended up in the water many times.  And thanks to mom, we had lots of colorful outfits and props to play with.

elaine & felix engaged {victoria portrait and wedding photographer}

First engagement session of this year.  I am looking forward to documenting the couple's upcoming wedding in August.

island parent magazine {victoria children and family photographer}

Thank you Island Parent for choosing one of my images for the cover of the March issue.  The magazine is available at its usual outlets and online http://www.islandparent.ca/.  Check it out, lots to do during the Spring Break.

old rusty trains {victoria photographer}

This weekend we drove up to the Duncan Forestry Centre for the annual Maple Syrup Festival.  The pictures I took there don't have anything to do with the festival.  All these rusty looking old trains... I just had to play a little.  All pictures were taken with my Fuji X100 because I wanted to travel light and put this little camera to the test.  The two portraits were taken with an older Canon 10D and my lensbaby.
