Ruby has arrived! Ruby has arrived!
I've been impatiently waiting to meet this sweet girl since Joon first announced they were pregnant again and she is finally HERE!!! I've got this soft spot for Joon. I like who I am when I am in her company, whether we are chilling with our kids or partying it up at a girls' night. She brings out that part of me that makes me feel like we should have been friends 10 years ago. And now her little girl is here and I get to see her grow up from brand newness and see all the joy (and terror and exhaustion, but mostly joy...) Ruby brings to their family.
We are set for a session in their new home in the next month or so, but I made sure to capture a few goodies in their current place of Ruby in all her newborn glory...
Love you babe

I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of this Newborn Session although it really makes my heart ache that I did not my own done when Moses + Chloe were the same age. SIGH. I first met Stephanie, Dylan, and Jack last Summer for a Beach Session, gifted to them by my oldtimey LFA classmate, Danielle. I swear the world gets smaller and my circles get tighter as I get older. 9 months later, young Jack is walking, talking, jumping and kissing his teeny tiny brother Logan. I am so in love with how this session turned out and I am excited for them to look back in 8 years and recall what these early days were like.
Congratulations once again on your newest addition and a huge thank you for allowing me to help tell your family's story

A large part of my job satisfaction is from my need to connect with others. The majority of people I get to photograph are friends, acquatinaces or friends of friends, or families of friends. I connected with Shanti through the sister of a fellow Emily Carr grad whom I haven't seen since graduation, but have kept in touch through social media. I love to photograph families in their natural habitat, it's all about capturing their true relationship with one another, finding those moments of connection and bonding. The years fly by and it is a gift to be able to look back and see our old selves and measure our growth, to recognize the familiar bond between siblings and nod at how nothing has changed or perhaps nudges us to give them a call and reconnect.
A few from my latest family session...
Thank you for your patience! We are into 2017 and I'm months behind on updating here. The tail-end of 2016 was the hardest and longest stretch but it's over and I feel terrific for all the challenges I was able to take on and the experiences I opened myself to. As is my custom, sending warm wishes of love and happiness and success to everyone who participated in our Holiday Sessions! A few quick favourites...
Thank you for a fabulous 2016!
