Habing Kids

For my vacation, I drove to Edmonton, Alberta to visit my best friend from high school, Pam, and her family.
I brought my studio and had fun taking photos of the kids. YES, there are 5 of them!

Paula & Nathan - Aug 2008

Today Jamie and I got up incredibly early (4am) to catch the first ferry to the Sunshine Coast. With a stop at Starbucks and Tim Hortons, we downed coffee to keep us awake. Although it rained everywhere else, God had a little clearing for us in Sechelt.
Paula and Nathan were fun and relaxed throughout the day, just having fun. Their speeches were touching and humorous, and even though we did not know them, we felt the emotion! Enjoy each other!

This is the first time I have worked with Jamie and she is an amazing photographer. I had a lot of fun! You can check out her website at: www.jamiedelaine.com

Makenna

Mark and Marlene's wedding day back in March was a cold cold day. It was near freezing and it also rained during the formals. Makenna was not too thrilled with the weather and did not co-operate for Anita (the photographer). So, before she grew out of her dress, I had her out at the park today. She barely co-operated for the first few 'posed' shots, but I managed to get a few good ones. She started fussing, so we took her to the park. We found Julian and her daughter, Sefia playing. They are our neighbours and there is only a week's different in age between Makenna and Sefia. I got some photos of the two of them playing together as well!

Princeton, BC

Well, I had a week of vacation, and I went to Princeton with mom, dad, Sheila, and her two girls. I did not take as many photos as I normally do, but still, most of them were of my niece. A nice break from work and over 40 degrees in the sun! My sister and I took off to Keremeos for a morning, and met up with the rest of the fam at Bromely Rock for lunch and the afternoon! Can't wait to go back! The only down-side were the mosquito bites we ended up getting - thank God the baby didn't get bitten!


We stopped at the Hope Slide for a little break - it's a long ride for the little ones. We called it 'The Broken Mountain'!





I had something rattling around in my trunk, and since I had bikes on the back of my car, I had to crawl into the trunk from the other side. My sister took photos of me being stuck.




Makenna's first no-drip popsicle. She loved them - a family favorite!



Playing on the beach at Bromely Rock!



Cliff Jumper - had my camera on rapid-fire and got a few jumps, all the way down, including the big entry splash.



Nap time - yeah right!



Makenna with Grandpa on the Ride 'em mower. Sheila said, 'not with the blades down' - Safety First!

Michael & Michelle

I had a wonderful day working with Anita (Perfect Moments) on July 5th. The bridal party, despite the rain, was amazing and so relaxed. Queen Elizabeth Park is a beautiful place for photos. Congratulations Mike and Michelle!! (I was not sure which photo I liked best of the party favors, so I posted both.)
