Contributing to our community with our photography is important to us. So, when my friend Robin Toma Photography and I were asked to collaborate to create this group portrait for the Vancouver Trans and Gender-Variant Working Group, we were honoured to say YES!!

UPDATE April 28th, 2014:  Parks Board unanimously approves the Group's recommendations to make Vancouver Parks & Rec facilities safer for trans and gender-variant folks.

The Lowest Common Denominator

These folks from playwright  Dave Deveau's new play 'The Lowest Common Denominator' were such fun. I wish I had more than 20 minutes with them to create these images for Xtra Vancouver. We could have gotten into some trouble!!

Pictured: Shawn Macdonald (bearded), Dallas Sauer (brown t-shirt), Deborah Williams (striped shirt).

Queer as Funk !!!

Always exciting to see images I've created for folks featured on their websites. Check out the brand spanking new website for Vancouver's Funktastic Queer As Funk.

Now we are 1

In life there are many things to be grateful for. To be loved and supported is but just one.
This was a day of celebration in many ways. Happy 1st birthday to you sweet Alexa.

The sweetest East Van family

What a lovely family and such good sports to play outside on a cold Vangroovy day. We had a lot of fun though and I adore these images we created together for Ellie's Mommas.

Thank you imaging by marlis for assisting on this session and helping get some giggles out of Ellie.

Happy Birthday Ben || Vancouver Family Photographer
