Shawna & Shane {E-Session}

I loved working with Shawna and Shane! They both have an awesome sense of humour and we spent a good portion of the session laughing. We debated who out of the three of us is the most clumsy, with all of us fighting hard for that title throughout their session. Shane took the prize though this time around. I was glad they could relate to always having ‘mystery bruises’, a knack for walking into anything in their presence and falling while doing regular tasks like walking. They helped me feel normal – thanks guys! They brought their adorable Yorkshire Terrier, Cash, along for a few snaps. He didn’t quite know what to make of it, but I think he looked so cute! Just wait till part two of this session where he sports an adorable Burberry style sweater. He is quite the fashionista and up on all the latest puppy wear trends.

Here are just a few teasers from the first part of our session. Enjoy!

You guys are SO cute !!

Steph & Josh {E-Session}

Lucy is sitting on my lap purrrrrrring away as I type this entry. She has just come in from outside and this is always when I am her favourite. She jumps up on my lap to tell me about her morning. Purring and kneading on my blanket and looking up at me with her puss puss eyes. If you have seen Shrek and you know Puss in Boots, you know what I am talking about. Just a minute, I have to wipe some drool off the keyboard. It’s Lucy’s, not mine … just for clarification

Oh what’s that Lucy ?? Lucy says that I should tell you guys how much fun I had with Steph and Josh on the weekend shooting their e-session at Saxe Pointe. Well she is right !! So here it goes.

Steph and Josh have been together FOREVER now. Their one year wedding anniversary will be their eleventh year together. How cool is that ?! My first year wedding anniversary with Darren will be our tenth year together, so I may be a bit biased, but I am giving these guys extra cool points just for that fact alone! I have known both Steph and Josh since high school, so getting to work with them for this special time in their lives is so incredibly meaningful to me. With their wedding just one month away it was a great time to do their engagement session. I often think of engagement photos like a rehearsal session for the formal portrait time on the day of the wedding. So now that Josh and Steph know how I work behind the camera it will be that much easier to “bring it” for me and rock their wedding images in a big way. Judging by their images below, I think we are off to a great start !!

Here is just a taste of what we came up with on this gloomy grey day. To my friends on the East Coast, I would like you to note the blossoms and daffodils. Just sayin

Happy Day of Love !!

What better session to post than an engagement session on this special Valentine’s Day ?!

Yesterday I had a blast with Gemma and Steve out at the railyards in Esquimalt. We wandered around dodging big drops of rain and puddles and chatted about their wedding coming up this August. You should have seen how excited I was when Gemma said she was having 2 dresses for the wedding !! Photographing dresses and details are one of my favourite things at a wedding and now I get to photograph not just one stunning dress, but TWO !! And I know she has a pair of killer wedding shoes to boot Oooohhhhh I can’t wait !!

As Gemma and Steve have not had professional photos taken together before I was honoured to be the lucky photographer to capture these special images. Steve and Gemma are just adorable and were so easy going that this shoot was a breeze. There wedding will be extra special for me as their reception is at the Fireside Grill where Darren and I had our reception. It is such a romantic venue!

Gemma and Steve, it was such a pleasure seeing you two again and spending some fun photo time together. I hope you like these first few ‘teaser’ images and I can’t wait to show you the rest.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and all the other lovebirds out there!
