"What do you call a bee that gives milk instead of honey? A BOOBee!!"
This is the joke I told Governor General Literary Award winner Mark L. Winston.
Thank goodness he has a wonderful sense of humour and an adoration of bees.
I recently met Mark when the Arts Council of Canada chose me to photograph him for the 2015 Literary Awards.
Mark is a world renowned expert on bees and won the prestigious award for his non-fiction book, Bee Time: Lessons from the Hive.
I love working with my clients to create business portraits that reflect their evolving personal style.
Meet Connie Buna, Realtor from Own it Vancouver.
Connie can rock the bow tie and she is also the dynamic front person for Vancouver's 10 piece Queer as Funk Band.
"Don't worry", I told him. "I have liability insurance."
A recent sunset session with Realtor and fellow LOUD Business member Erik Carlson creating his 2015 business portrait.
I couldn't resist taking a fun shot of him too showcasing his fabulous socks.
Enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon shooting in Stanley Park recently with Kai Scott from Dialectic Research Services creating new head shots for his human environment consulting business.
Met some new friends creating their 2015 business portraits for them.
Please visit my business portrait portfolio for examples of my work in studio and on location.
I'd love to create something new and vibrant for you as well.
Meet Cynthia Brooke, ILWU Local 500 Longshoreman/Stevedore, Dapper member of the Leadfoot butch choir, and all around wonderful human being.
Cynthia came to me wanting portraits that reflected her Longshoreman pride and her pride in being a Butch woman.
I think we succeeded.
It all started innocently enough with Cor Flammae and a group photo shoot with 21 of the most fabulously dressed Choral singers in Vancouver.
How do you top a shoot like that? Well, you have to do the next one on a rooftop. Obviously.
Feast your eyes on the Vancouver Cantata Singers. 25 elegantly dressed award-winning Choral singers.
Despite blaring sun (it was supposed to be dramatic clouds that day) and gusting winds we managed to capture a fantastic group shot of them.
Thanks to Olivia Chao and Debbie Pipe for shoot assistance and Debbie for taking these fun behind the scenes shots.
I was thrilled when author Amber Dawn asked me to create 2015 promo images for her.
One of these beautiful images we created together will be used on the back of her new book jacket. Amber Dawn's new book of poetry will be revealed Spring of 2015!!
