the estivernes: family

this one was hard to crack. she didn’t fall for any of the little tricks i keep up my sleeves. she wouldn’t smile…until she smiled and then it was unstoppable.

bethany wasn’t super keen on having her picture taken and i think she thought if she hid her face that i would stop snapping. she was wrong 🙂

she didn’t like to say good-bye, so we just said “see you later”…which i sure hope is the case!

as i mentioned in my last post, marriage is on my mind. so what better time to highlight this lovely family who are all together celebrating lionel & lucille’s 50th anniversary. curious as to what 50 years looks like?

pretty darn cute, if i do say so myself.

so cute, in fact, lucille just couldn’t seem to get enough 🙂

dueck family

Friday, July 8th, 2011

sweet. lovely family, abandoned property, golden light, impeccably dressed children…and mosquitos. and blackberry bushes. and drug dealers? or maybe we just imagined those. still, it was quite the adventure! seems it always is when i’m involved 🙂 thankfully these guys fully went along with my whims and followed where i lead. made for some pretty pictures, if i do say so myself.

i should clarify. though kris is a builder and a newly instated realtor(check him out through landmark realty), he did not build, nor did he buy or sell the home above. just so we’re clear.

art is good.

one of the many fabulous contacts i made at the old school market was with the lovely debbie.

she invited me to come to the grand opening of the 4Cats arts studio here in abbotsford to document the festivities. i had heard of 4Cats before, but had never been in one of their studios. what an incredible place!!

i really wanted to let the kids feel comfortable and like they didn’t need to perform, so i tried to capture natural expressions instead of forcing everyone to say “cheese”. it was amazing to see the range…from intense concentration to pure elation.

one of my favorite things about this idea is that it gives kids a place where they can totally unleash their creativity and it allows parents to take a step back and really see how artistic their kids are…while not having to worry about cleaning up the mess!! you just walk away. they get to do things here that you secretly dream of letting them do at home. and kids do not disappoint, i tell you. you would not believe what they are capable of. i’m so excited that our city finally has a place like this and i can’t wait to enroll my kids in a class. congratulations, debbie and your 4Cats team!

the nyvalls

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

i first had the privilege of meeting this lovely lady at a women’s group i attended a few years ago, back when i was the pregnant mother of one and she was expecting her first. oh how times have changed!

she had been asking around to see who could do their family pictures and had a friend recommend me…we hadn’t seen each other in quite sometime and she had no idea i was even a photographer! it was so great to reconnect and meet her beautiful family.

little miss s.

Monday, April 11th, 2011

while i’ve loved having my head immersed in “wedding land” for the past few weeks, it was nice to have a little change of pace with some family sessions. this family was in from out of town for the weekend and contacted me about fitting in some pictures for them before they headed back. i’m so glad they did!

these next two may be some of the favorite pictures i’ve taken yet this year. she’s SOOO cute.

we even got to sneak in just a few of the two of them. it may sound strange but i kind of love the awkwardness of a couple who has a few rare baby free moments where it’s just about them for a second…it almost feels like a first date. it’s sweet.
