Happy Mother’s Day!

Even though it’s Mother’s Day, I feel blessed every day that I have two amazing sons who are such characters, and who make me laugh on a daily basis.  They are helping to mold me into a better person, and I can’t imagine my life without them.
Here’s a shout out to all the great moms out there. To the ones that are just starting out, learning the nuances of what each little sound means; and who maybe sometimes feel like they have no idea what they are doing. To the ones who have loved and lost a child… the heartbreak is unimaginable to me, but I wish you all the strength in the world to not give up.  To each and every mom, I say to you “Do your best, and you will be great.”  That’s all that these little people who look up to us ask for… our best we can be on each given day.  Sometimes your best might just be that you got them dressed and fed… there shouldn’t be any judging as long as you do your best.

Here’s to each and every one of you that is a mom, or love a mom….  enjoy your day!

A baby brother – West Kelowna Newborn Photographer

J and J are my good friends in West Kelowna, who just happen to make cute kids.  They do it so well, they decided on number three.  Little Mr. C is such a doll… such beautiful skin, and the hint of the cute dimples that are coming.

I am so glad that my trip to Kelowna was timed perfectly to capture your little man, in all his newborn new-ness.  I am sure you will have a lot of help around the house from big sister S, and big brother A.

Enjoy your new little man!

Redheads love Autumn! – Coquitlam Family Photography

Autumn is such a wonderful time of year… the leaves are changing, the air has a bite to it, and it’s okay to bundle under warm, cozy sweaters and curl up by the fire.

It seems to be one of my most busiest seasons, as the scenery is just too gorgeous.  And then you add redheads into the mix, and it’s mind-blowing!  What a combination!  We lucked out with a foggy morning adding some cool atmosphere into the mix, and some great sun later.

Enjoy this sneak peek!

Updating Family Photos – Port Coquitlam Family Photography

These friends of mine, they have a gorgeous family.  The issue was that the last family picture they have is when their youngest, Mr. C, was just a baby.  Skip ahead 4 years and it was time for an update.

The fall day was bright, but cold, and Mr. C wasn’t having any of it.  The outtakes from this session were priceless, as the expressions on Mr. C’s face had a variety of moods.  In the end, I got some great smiles from him, and got a new family photo for the wall.

Enjoy your teasers….
