NEW!


Finally anyone can now leave comments...you don't have to be a member! YAHOO!!! :D

And I thought I better add a pic, cause with every blog post needs to be accompanied by a pic. So here is Silver a few weeks back. She finally just rolled over about 2 weeks ago with such ease really. She rolled later then my other 2 babes but probably because she just doesn't get the floor time like the other two did. No biggy really! It's funny how something like rolling over makes us all excited and happy. Makes you pick up the phone and call everyone you know to announce this exciting stage in your little babies life. :)

Adyson!




Check out that cutie smile! :)



Gotta LOVE me some baby fur!



Today sweet baby Adyson was finally ready to visit me. I had so much fun with this little 6 pounder who is a little over 2 weeks now. She was so good to me which I LOVE...she didn't even make a peep. I feel so happy to have gotten to photograph her. I also photographed her older Sister 1.5 years ago and they tend to come a little early and love to curl up wonderfully for me. Both Adyson and her Sister Taylor had that wonderful baby fuzz...which I absolutely LOVE! Baby fur and white dots on the nose make me melt. :)

This babys Mom is a rockstar! She saved me a million mornings through out my pregnancy arriving first thing with a Starbucks latte. mmmmmm your the best Alyssa! :)

Another fav session...too many great pics...I could blog forever...pretty sure my babe won't let me though. ;)

Enjoy the sneak peek Alyssa and Lee. And your 3 darling little girls...your Family is complete now! :D

So Sweet! :)


Yesterday was a great day and a very happy session for me. I photographed the lovely little miss Taeia. She was a complete joy and I feel happy to have the chance to photograph her and finally meet her Parents.

This is a long one people so get ready to read..

Taeia's Mom, Chelsea and I met somehow on facebook over a year ago while she was pregnant with her first daughter Ali. Chelsea and her Husband Jesse had known since she was 21 weeks pregnant with Ali that she was going to have a bit of a hard time as they found a few things wrong with an ultrasound but they had no idea just how hard her life was going to be.
Ali was born on November 20th, 2008 at 31 weeks (9 weeks premature)at BC Womens Hospital. She gave the gift to her Mom of not feeling her labour at all(craziness) but Ali's heart rate was going wonky so she was delivered via emergency c-section late that night.
From the moment Ali was born she fought so hard but because she was born with a syndrome that is so rare that the geneticists at BC Childrens believe she was the first to have it she had a really rough go. Her syndrome affected her muscles and airway.
Ali lived for 4 months in BC Children's NICU and Chelsea lived right there with her. She passed away on March 12, 2009 at Canuck Place. She was sitting on her Moms lap with the sun in her face and was so peaceful. Chelsea really believes she felt happiness then.
She truly believes Ali was an angel, she's changed so many peoples lives and accomplished so much in her short life. Chelsea feel's so lucky to have had an angel and now their miracle Taeia.
Chelsea would also like to mention that Y.A.N.A was there helping them from the moment she was in labour and being sent to another city. They are just so awesome!

Now while this was all going on Chelsea and I had talked and when Ali came home we were going to have a little photo session together. I was so excited and started planning. I purchased this special little cupcake hat for her arrival. Sadly the session never got to take place. Through out the months I would see/think of the hat and felt sad I never got to meet her, see her in person, hold her, give her a little welcome home snuggle and kiss. So I saved the hat and did not use it any sessions. Months later Chelsea announced she was pregnant again and with another girl. How EXCITED was I for her...words can't describe! I told Chelsea about the hat last week and asked what she thought if we photographed Little Taeia in the hat. She LOVED the idea and so here is Little Taeia beautifully wearing the little cupcake hat. :)

Chelsea and Jesse...Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story with us. You all are a complete inspiration. Ali is an Angel and she will never be forgotten!

YAY ME!


The beautiful new waiting room!


Here are a couple of the rooms




I'm FINALLY happy to announce you can now see my work displayed at the new clinic in Comox. Highland Family Practice. I've been busy working since December to get everything all together while pregnant with the two older babes and then finished up shortly after Silver arrived. This is the first advertising I have ever done to date and honestly not sure I was even ready to advertise as I have stayed busy enough with friends and word of mouth clients. However I just couldn't miss out on this exciting opportunity. So 3 babes under 4 and here I go. You can do anything you put your mind to right? I will still be taking a minimum per month of course as 3 little monkeys/high maintenance babes keep me busy on a minute to minute basis. haha :)

The clinic displays a combination of classic portraits, float wraps and galley canvas wraps.

I would like to Thank everyone at Highland Family Practice for being so supportive. It means a lot! I feel honored to have my work displayed in this beautiful clinic among such special and beautiful people. :D

Jen and Rory!













It's hard to believe I have taken 5 months off...it doesn't feel like it! And what a perfect pair to get back in the studio with. :)

On Saturday I photographed the amazingly beautiful and stunning Jen and good ol Rory! These two are so sweet and into each other...love that! So wonderful to create these special memories for them as they grow their first sweet little miracle, whom I can not wait to meet. Obviously the baby is going to be one super good looking babe! One of my fav Maternity sessions to date. Seriously too many great pics, I could blog about them all day.

Thanks so much you two! ;)
