aryn + domenik {engagement}

This session was my first one on location in beautiful White Rock; and, I couldn't have asked for more beautiful and lovey dovey clients than Domenik and Aryn.  This adorable couple started out as high school sweet hearts eight years ago and, after a proposal at the end of the very pier some of these photos were taken on, are looking forward to tying the knot next summer. Aryn is stunning (obviously) and Dom is just so sweet with her...he actually confessed to enjoying the session because he got to snuggle his lady so much!

To the happy couple ~ It was lovely to spend an afternoon together and get know you a little bit - I am so excited for your wedding next summer! Until then....

phil + darcy {extended family}

This couple's daughter, Jessie, is a good friend of mine, and I was totally honored when her mom asked if I would take their family pictures. Probably my favorite thing about these photos is that they were taken in the couple's back yard; there is a beautiful field area and trail right at their doorstep! The kiddos had a great time running around in between some of the group shots and my camera absolutely loved the colors!
Phil + Darcy - thank you for giving me the chance to do these photos for you! Your family...{especially those six grandkids}...is beautiful!

peter + debbie {family}

I met up with Peter, Debbie + their kiddos this past weekend at Derby Reach for some fall family photos. The weather here in beautiful BC has been stunning this last week, and I was so glad that the sun joined us for this session. I usually prefer the "safety" of a cloud cover when I shoot, but I have been enjoying the glow that the autumn sun lends to my images.

These guys were a loving, playful clan to work with! The kids giggled when their parents were kissing, snuggles were given and recieved, Peter said "cheese" every time I pointed the camera at him (thanks for making me laugh!!!) and we had a little bit of fun with the leaves....

Peter + Debbie...thanks for a lovely afternoon! It was great getting to know your family and I hope you enjoy your photos :)
