Poops and Baby are getting hitched!

Most of you probably know Gail Whitton (aka poops) as catering manager of the BROCK HOUSE RESTAURANT  here in Vancouver.  Well, her baby, Adam popped the question recently while they were on vacation in Mexico.  I know everyone is soooooo excited for them and couldn’t wait to post this session for her friends back in London.

since they will be getting married back East, they thought it would be nice to include a bit of their home in Vancouver with them, so we tried to caputure that in some engagement photos… rain and all!

Thanks for the fun times yesterday. off to another shoot - check in with you in a few hours! mua!xx

Steve and Sarah are getting MARRIED!!!!!

Bowen Island is a very magical place.  Not only is it the place where Steve popped the question to the lovely Sarah, it’s probably one of the most beautiful spots in the world, and a bit of trivia - Steve’s family owns this house which was the first log cabin on the Island (seen here)

It was so nice to get out of the city and spend the day with these two and their dog Allie, to take these engagement photos. Here are a few of my favs…

I just love these images

I’m also so excited about their wedding, because not only did they choose me on thier own, 2 past weddings recommend me to them and said ‘Don’t look at ANYONE else!’   I feel so special!   Thanks Nicole and Jason and thanks Jane and Paul!

xoxox

Rain couldn’t keep these two love birds away from each other and our engagement shoot on Jericho Beach this weekend.

Whiskey and I can not wait for your wedding this July at the Chateau Whistler.

Thanks for having us! x

How cute are Adrienne and HY ?!

Vancouver is super beautiful in the spring.  I love it!

thanks for today!  xox

Today I was invited to the home of Aeron and Sandra in West Vancouver, to photograph Anais 1 year old birthday portrait. As I entered their home, the first thing I noticed were many wonderful pictures of Anais…I knew this family loved photos and appreciated them, as well, I felt honored that I was chosen to document this little angels 1st portrait, on her first birthday. Here are a few I would like to share

A gaggle of gals of Vancouver’s finest wedding photographers, ran for the border Thursday morning to take advantage of cross-border shopping, dinner in some fabulous restaurants, and to sleep in some posh hotels in Seattle.  My dog, Whiskey had his own mini-holiday & blog as you can see here - courtesy of his new friend “Uncle Jason”.

Daniela Cuiffa, Kari Heese , Anita & Gina, Jasalyn Thorne and I

In my blessed career as a rock and roll photographer for Rolling Stone and as an invited celebrity and red-carpet event photographer I have often been asked by friends, and peers to share stories from touring with rocknroll bands and being ‘on the road‘ and being backstage with them. “What is so-and-so like? “, “Who made you star stuck?”….  In this blog, I feel blessed and honor to share with you 2 of the biggest mentors/rockstars I have EVER met. Joe Buissink and Yervant!

above featured is Jas, Joe, Me, Yervant and J Garner (a supermodel, a top 10 wedding photographer in the WORLD & founder of Boda bags - how’s that for a plug - J ??? )

KING Yervant turned the big 5-0!  Happy Birthday!!!!

Who are they???? you ask!   They are masters of their craft, who have had passion for 15 years + in photography to earn the right to be called masters!!!!  Together, they combined their forces to bring a mind blowing mentor mini-workshop put on by Graphi Studios. This is who makes me awe struck.  Because of attending this workshop, I am a stronger, better person and photographer, by meeting them (again) and seeing them in action.  Also so lucky to have met new peers that share my passion, and the challenge of pushing myself to the next level in my art.

Thank you Joe, for re-confirming my beliefs, sharing your ‘secrets‘ (of which there are none) and sharing your eye, talent and vision and love to us. You are a true mentors and I feel blessed to have attended.

on a side note, Joe has also photographed a book called Autism Heros  and there is a special in which air on ABC tonight at 630p if you can catch it.  Please watch.
