this sweet new family of three holds a special place in my heart…sarah grew up across the street from us and was my little sister’s best friend, so it’s kinda surreal to see her as a mom. but oh, does it suit her. it just makes sense.

remy: new life
Friday, September 6th, 2013
two years ago, i tiptoed into my dear friend ashley’s hospital room to meet her brand new baby girl. little did i know, her boys were right behind me and i got to not only witness, but capture them seeing her for the first time.
two days ago, i entered the room again, slightly more prepared, but still unaware that i would be arriving there at exactly the same time as her other three. it was such a treat to see them inquire as to whether or not their baby brother had teeth or was wearing “legging pants”, to see them snuggle up to their beautiful (as in “are you sure you just had a baby” beautiful) mother and to dote on this sweet little boy…the one who turned their family of five into six.

owen: new life
Sunday, July 7th, 2013
january 2011, i was on a snowy highway returning from prince george when i got a call from emma saying oliver had been born and she wanted to get some baby pictures taken. he was a sweet and very wakeful little thing who i will always remember as the first baby (who was not my own) to pee on me . fast forward two and a half years and here is owen…born into the sun and sleepy as can be. opposites who are sure to be the best of friends.

the cools: family
Wednesday, March 6th, 2013
if there’s anything that i know about 2 year olds, it’s that they love to share the spotlight.
see what i mean? i got to meet oren when he was a brand new baby and his mom was, to this day, the most laid back first time mom i’ve ever laid eyes on. pictures outside? sure. on the ground? sure. in the leaves? sure. it was awesome. fast forward two years and i was driving out to harrison to see this family that now consisted of four. what a sweet addition their little girl is. i think she fits in so well – let’s just say she’ll never be short on entertainment.

2012: a year in pictures
Saturday, February 23rd, 2013
i was so conflicted about how to encapsulate an entire year of pictures into one blog post. all business? all personal? some of both? none of either? and i don’t like picking “favourites” because the reality is that there are beautiful moments in every.single.session and to decide one is “better” than another…just doesn’t sit right with me. so what you’re going to get is a little bit of everything. a whole bunch of moments bundled up into 4 minutes of your day you will (hopefully) be happy to have witnessed.
2012 was full of “feeling”. i grieved this year. a lot. i cried alone and with others and alone again. i was conflicted in my spirit over why this life is the way it is and wondered how beautifully good people could suffer so much.
at the same time, i rejoiced. like there was no tomorrow. i got to witness the very first breaths of a sweet new life and be present as another was released back into the hands of her creator. i got to see a million first steps as married couples bounced down the aisle and see the tears of joy as their parents freed them to start their own families. i saw my own kids eager to start school and comforted them when they returned to me with scrapes and bruises of all kinds. i got to cuddle warm little bundles and wiggly toddlers and watch as moms and dads reluctantly let go of their child’s hands so they could take a few wobbly independent steps. maybe not all of that sounds like rejoicing to you, but to me it represents joy of every kind…what moulds us and shapes us and challenges us and gives us hope for the future. in a word: life. what a year.
(the song is paper house by lisa hannigan)
if you watch this and are stirred; if you see these people and wish it was you in those pictures; if you trust me to walk alongside you and the ones you love while you dance and play and enjoy each others company, then you are my client. you are the one i want to serve. call me. email me. just don’t be a stranger. i can’t wait to meet you.

primrose: new life

so, pretty much everyone loves babies. even if they don’t like to hold babies, they like to look at them, coo at them, put sunglasses on them and laugh…you know how it goes. and of course, parents are always downright smitten with these little creatures. even the toughest of new dads tends to melt down into googoogaga talk at some point and even the most tired of new mamas won’t be able to keep their eyes off their child for more than a few moments. we expect it, right?
and while all of that is beautiful and touching to witness, let me tell you what really gets me every time. as these two exhausted people gaze at their sweet sleeping baby, sometimes for just a moment their weary eyes will meet and in that few seconds, so much love is exchanged. a mutual admiration and respect, a newfound depth of “knowing”; knowing that together they have participated in creating life, knowing that this life bonds them to one another like never before, knowing that while they have a huge responsibility laying before them in the form of a pink, chubby and completely dependant human being…they also have each other. this. this expression of family really and truly gets me every. time.
see what i mean?

you know those women who were always meant to be moms? i feel like katie is one of those people. as soon as i saw her son in her arms, it was like he had always been there…like they had always been a family. i was so excited to be welcomed into their home so i could help introduce their little man to the world.

new life
Monday, September 24th, 2012
the past couple of weeks have not been easy. i’ve seen and experienced grief. a sweet friend had to release her child into God’s arms before she had the chance to hold her in her own. i was invited into their story and was able to meet darling quinn. i was incredibly grateful while still being absolutely heartbroken as they trusted me to tell the story of her short life through pictures.
yet even in the midst of despair, there is grace and life. and a bigger picture. one that we can’t always see and certainly don’t understand, but it’s there. slowly unfolding before and behind our eyes, something greater than we could imagine or even hope for. this was a week where i clung to that hope and began to recognize what a gift it is that i get a glimpse of that bigger picture as i witness and document the stories of so many beautiful families.
and here is one. another family that has longed for a child prepared to meet theirs for the first time. daniel and carly welcomed oliver into their home on september 10th. though that was the first day he was officially theirs, they had carved an oliver shaped space in their hearts months before as they patiently waited for his arrival.
now daniel is a naturally smiley guy. but you ain’t seen nothing until you’ve seen the look on his face when he’s interacting with his boy. it didn’t matter how tired he was, his grin stretched so wide…we’re talking grand canyon/cheshire cat wide. so fun to see a daddy’s love.
what a gift you are to this darling child, as he is to you.

everett: new life
Thursday, September 6th, 2012
so here is the third and final (for now 🙂 chapter of this beautiful story of life. i got to know his family before he was born, was one of the first to welcome him into the world and had the distinct pleasure of photographing his sweet, soft, wrinkly skin at just over a week old. here’s everett. in black and white.
