HOLIDAY 2017

Happy HallowHO HO HO!!!

I know, I know It's too early for Christmas, Stephanie, GTFO!  Trust me, I know.  I feel the same way!  I wish there was just like 2 extra weeks before I have to start posting this just so I can actually savour Halloween all on its own before thinking about Christmas!  Ah, such is life. 

If you're a regular, you know the drill!  As usual, I have a couple of my annual keeners just waiting to book their spot, so I suggest you get those ducks in a row!  If you are NEW to The Pauhaus, WELCOME!  Please make your way to my sample gallery of past Holiday Sessions!

The Boisvert Family

It's times like these that I am so grateful for my flexible schedule as it is very convenient for spontaneous sessions!  I received the text just after Noon when the sun was out and shining.  By the time 330pm rolled around, I was sitting in the car laughing as a total downpour crashed over the van.  I drove out to Diefenbaker to see how dry it was beneath the trees since it was too risky to try our luck at the wide open beach.  The skies cleared and we were treated to breaks of late afternoon sun and cloud.  With my own family of 5, it comes in handy to know what to expect when all 3 kids have their own secret agenda and to know when to let kids run free and when to corral them back.  I just hope that I continue to be able to read children as mine get older!

So thrilled will how these turned out!  Loving the variety and loving the energy!

Enjoy!

MORE EXCLAMATION MARKS !!!!!!!!!

Massacre at the Farm 2017

Interrupting my wholesome family feed with a few of my favourite moments from this year's Halloween Party at School House Farm!  So many terrific costumes and the decor was outstanding!

Welcome Jax!

Oh, this family.  The Oldhams are just one of the absolute nicest families I've met out this way.  They are one of the families that have grown with me, helping to create some of my most favourite images over the years with their boys Hunter and Ryder.  (Plus, it didn't hurt to have that roaring good time last summer jumping/rolling around on their backyard trampoline at an inappropriate time of night... )  There is something in the water out here, but there are a lot of families joining the 3 Kids Club (human and/or dog form) and The Oldhams are the latest to welcome their newest addition: LITTLE JAX! 

A few sneaks from last week's in-home session

Always always a pleasure to photograph you guys xo

Alex + Sarita

I had so much fun shooting this adorable pair of human beings!!!  The internet has gifted me with some of the coolest friendships, including this beautiful goofball of sunshine, Miss Sarita. These friendships are exciting and mysterious, falling in love with people you have never met in person but feel like you know so well after months of connection and laughter.  It's cool to physically meet them and feel the presence of that same spirit you have connected with just through photos and words.  I gotta say, I was really stoked when Sarita asked me to photograph her with her long-distance beau, Alex, who was visiting Vancity for their one year anniversary.  Up until this point, these intimate sessions have been exclusively family, young parents, or occasionally newlyweds.  This was my first time shooting a couple still fresh in their relationship, full of all that honeymoon goodness, and it was so deliciously fun!  We met in my old stompy grounds of Mount Pleasant, the area of my young and stupid days, drinking more than sleeping days, barely considering consequences days of yore... It is always a bittersweet visit but I was distractedly excited for this session as we would be meeting specifically at the new Andy Dixon mural that went up this summer for the mural festival.  If you don't know Andy Dixon, do yourself a favour and check out his work and join the rest of us in being obsessed HA!  We got in trouble trying to climb a building to get some shots and I laughed as Sarita pulled a ME and sweetly begged the guy to let us just have a couple shots.

Ok, too much talking.  Photos.
