Fall 2008

I'm still amazed at the beautiful colors, the cozy crisp fall air and all of the wonderful changes the fall brings.  Just taking a moment to really listen to the season, to be quiet and still in nature.  I'm so fortunate to live is such a beautiful place and be able to capture images with my camera as well as my mind. Something I will do for a long time to come. 

I hope you enjoy these West Coast Canadian Photographs by me. :)

Introducing baby Nathanial

Congratulations Kim and Tara!!  :)

Fall Family

The ocean, the forest, what makes a better background than that?
Cute kids, a loving family and humor, what makes better clients that than??

As much as I love the fun of being in a studio, I really enjoy being a natural light photographer and
being surrounded by the natural scenery of Vancouver Island.

Donna and her beautiful family were totally up for a long walk to the beach. I got to know her family a bit before we started the shoot and couldn't be happier. We even made some connections with mutual friends, what a small world... What a wonderful family.. CUTE!!! Pretty, handsome, funny! I have posted quite a few pictures here and had to tell myself to stop... please post comments. I would love to hear what you think of my photography.

These are just SOME of my favorites and I hope you enjoy them. Thank you so much for calling me and trusting me with your family photos. I really hope you are happy. :)

And for those of you who ever need an at home hairdresser (she comes right to your house!!),
email Donna!! hairigo@telus.net

What do you get when you have a baby and a tree?

This past weekend was so much fun.. The fall air, the beautifully changing leaves...

I had two shoots; one of an amazingly wonderful, cute and beautiful family (pictures soon) 

and one of an incredible baby Axel.  Axel is THE cutest thing... 

Okay, I say that about every baby... but give me a break! Look at him! 

This little guy is 4 months old and and the child of a pretty amazing couple, 

Miranda and Dwight Bakkan.   Miranda and I met at the Rick Hansen fundraiser. Her husband Dwight is also quadriplegic, but enough about the men in our lives, 

check out this super cute babe!.. 

Thanks for being such a great sport Miranda and grandma!!!! Who else would let me put their baby in a tree or on rusty cars???   I hope you enjoy these, 

and please, as always, feel free to leave me a comment. :)

Western Conifer Seed Bug

I found this little guy on my bar-b-que.   I set him free before I turned on the flames. :)

These guys are also called stink bugs.. though I never smelled any stink. Apparently they eat seeds of Conifers and I'm wondering if this is what is killing our pines... hmm. 

Neat patterns none the less. 

Here comes the sun! ;)

Looking for a home...

This little girl is looking for a home. She is so sweet, so lovable.. a little talkable, and will only go to a home that is completely committed to love her and take her for many a walks. Her current family is busy and can't keep up with the loving attention they feel she needs. She gets along REALLY well with cats and is about 3 years old. Her name is Teka. Let me know if you are interested. There would be an interview required and a few visits by the owner in order to get comfy with the new family. Teka is such a wonderful girl... I would take her if I could.. but I already have my 2 golden retrievers and can't fit anymore puppies in my home..
