/My sweet friend Ellie turned 1 in September.
She is such a darling. I was so happy when her parents asked me to do another photo session with them.
The Lowdown Project
/I met a poet recently and he asked, "Do you write?"
I replied, "Yes, but rarely, only when I am grieving or newly in love".
He said, "Yes, isn't that always the way."
I was invited to walk the Downtown Eastside in August with some of the Poets involved in The Low Down Project. The Project was curated by F.O.U.N.D. Spaces and featured beautifully stenciled lines from the artists poems.
I felt inspired after meeting them all and after hearing them read their own words.
Canadian author Amber Dawn
/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!!

Sarah-Nelle + Aislin
/I love photographing intimate weddings. My first wedding of 2014 was at Trout Lake in East Vancouver. Surrounded by only their immediate families my two brides looked beautiful against the lush spring back drop.
Sarah-Nelle and Aislin found me via the 'A Bicycle Built for Two' blog which featured one of my weddings. Currently living in Calgary, the two met in East Van and wanted to exchange their vows here. After the ceremony we grabbed coffees at Turks and took a leisurely stroll down the Drive doing portraits. My fav moment was the street vendor who congratulated them and gave them both flowers. It was a lovely day.
