Baby Georgette

I am blogging a bit out of order, but I am out in Saskatchewan on my "vacation" (as I'm staying up late editing...) and unfortunately haven't yet sifted through Tim & Liz's wedding photos! It was a great day in Furry Creek, and such a beautiful wedding with a beautiful story. But that will come later!



When I got home from Furry Creek, after getting insanely lost on my way to the ferry, I took some pictures of my friends' newest baby, little Georgette. She is such a sweetheart! She was so sleepy too and she let me just snap away.

Georgette actually looks big on this bed! But she is under 7lbs!

I am having a great time with all of my family out here on the prairies. But it feels like time is going by so quickly!

My Girl

This is a monster Eva post!!!!!

I took a lot of pictures of my darling little one last week, despite this being my craziest time of the year... no make that, the craziest time of my life... EVER.

It was good to take some pictures for me. I really miss that. Although most of these pictures were actually taken for my mom, because she keeps bugging me for pictures since we live so far away from each other. But they were still for me in the long run.

Here she's eating cookie dough, or as she calls it, "tookie" dough.

Another day, we went out to this great spot that is just a few blocks from our house. It was fun.

She is very dramatic when she sniffs flowers.

Pete got this one. I love it.

"Where's your belly button?"

This one's a hit with all my friends.

When I bought her this dress, an image like the following one is what I had in mind for it.

And yet, another day, I decided to take some pictures of her sleeping and rem·i·nisce (I had to look that one up!) her newborn days!

I love you sweet girl.

Avyn

While we were at our family reunion in June I took these pictures of Avyn. She is the daughter of Pete's cousin Karl and his wife Helen. She is only 3 months younger than Eva, but literally, half the size! At 15 months she weighed only 16lbs (Eva is 30lbs at 18 months!). Avyn is such a little sweetheart. I wish we could have our little girls spend more time together!

These shoes are Helen's from when she was a baby.

I found this chair in one of the cabins and knew right away that I needed to take some photos with it. Avyn was happy to join in the fun!

Moving

I've been needing to do this update for quite some time now, but life has been pretty hectic--- We are moving to Calgary!

This move was a bit unexpected, especially since we just bought our house!, but it is something that we feel confident about and we are looking forward to it. We will miss our friends, family and clients here in Victoria.

Though we are moving to Calgary, we will still be available for weddings and portraits in Victoria. I plan to make working trips to Victoria for portraits and we will do weddings if you are willing to bring us out here!

Thank you so much to our Victoria clients for this past almost-year of business. If you know anyone in Calgary... let them know we are coming to town!

Conor & Kiera - Newborns

I went to spend the afternoon with Conor and Kiera --- oh, and their mom and dad --- to take their "newborn" pictures. Conor and Kiera are actually already 8 weeks old but these photos were taken before their actual due date!

What could be better than a newborn session? A twins newborn session! Maybe these two were too easy on me. Conor got so comfy in my wooden bowl with his snuggly blanket that he just slept the afternoon away while Kiera had her turn in the spotlight... and he kept on sleeping through the rest of the session!

Meet Kiera.

And Conor, having a lovely dream.

Thank you so much Kelly and Shaun for letting me spend this time with your precious babies. I am looking forward to future sessions!

Nathan - Newborn

He's here! Art + Rachel's little boy Nathan was a dream to shoot! Fortunately for me (not so much for Rachel) he has his days and nights mixed up, so he was pretty sleepy the whole time! He let me move him around and position him as much as I wanted... although sometimes he would let out a little whimper of annoyance :)

And don't think for a second that Art was just sitting by watching. He was busy playing second to me.

Aren't they cute?

Colin & Lia - Maternity

Meet Zeus.

Zeus is about to be a big brother.

I met with Colin and Lia a couple of months ago and Lia told me that she wanted to have some really fun and creative images for her maternity session. I have definitely been looking forward to this session!

We had our session at the CFB in Esquimalt.

It was a pretty cool place.

Colin & Lia are pretty excited to meet their little boy.

And I am too!

Rob & Ashley with Karen McNeil

Last Saturday I was hired to shoot second with Karen McNeil. Rob and Ashley had a beautiful wedding at the Old English Inn. Before the ceremony, I spent some time with Rob and his best men. This was my first time giving all my attention to the groom!

Their ceremony was lovely. Here you can see Rob & Ashley grinning at each other as the officiate tells the story of how they met and fell and love.

I was with the guys again :)

Thanks Karen for the opportunity and thank you Rob & Ashley for having me tag along!
