So many times when I am out with clients I take pictures of the landscape before I put the family in the frame. A few of these times I end up loving the images and keeping them for myself. I have decided that despite NOT being a landscape photographer I would love to share a few of these with you. Enjoy a few images of my pretty town.. Squamish, BC ..read more

I thought that Saturday was going to be tough. I had anticipated the worst. I heard that she was battling from a brain tumour and was anxious because she had lost her hair. I guess, if have to admit it, I was scared. Mostly of my own emotions. I photograph babies that have passed away at birth and always find those so incredibly hard. I mourn the baby, the loss for the parents, but this seemed scarier.  I arrived to a quiet home, jazzy music playing and there she was serene, sitting feeding and I knew I was staring at her lack of hair, not because it made me uncomfortable but because I no ..read more

My third annual GARD fundraiser was held at the end of 2017. This is a yearly event where 100% of donations go toward Grassroots Assistance in Rural Development (GARD), which is a not for profit organization that my husband Geoff and I started in 2005 helping rural villages in Northern Uganda have access to clean water. Over the past 10 years we have been in the Lira area and mainly helping to protect springs and teach health and sanitation. These yearly photoshoots bring in over $1500 that goes directly to these villagers as we do not take a salary at all.  If you are interested in being ..read more

Meet little Charlie at 10 days old.  Not even a peep came out of this little 1/2 Aussie dude the entire shoot. His lips are to too much. Honestly so squish! It's one of those funny "small world" stories on how Charlie's parents hired me to be their newborn photographer. When I lived in Perth, Australia, I made great friends with an amazing woman. I got an email asking me my availability and saying they knew this same woman and I had been recommended by her. I wrote back saying, oh I am so sorry, I am no longer living in Perth and they replied saying, no all good, they are in Vancouver! We ..read more

These two little guys came to see me and were so very good and oh so cute!  Photographing twins always comes with it's challenges trying to get them to both sleep at the same time, but these two were surprisingly a dream.  Dad is a firefighter and really wanted some images with his firefighting clothing and they had this awesome dog who really stole the show in the shots he was in :) newborn Twins Squamish newborn Twins Squamish newborn Twins Squamish newborn Twins Squamish newborn Twins Squamish newborn Twins Squamish ..read more

Meet darling Dominik at one week old. He was so smiley and very awake during this shoot, not that these photographs show his little wide awake face, but he finally gave up the fight to stay awake and we managed to get the sleepy newborn photographs that we had hoped for. He is just such a darling!   newborn Dominik Squamish newborn Dominik Squamish newborn Dominik Squamish newborn Dominik Squamish newborn Dominik Squamish newborn Dominik Squamish newborn Dominik Squamish ..read more
