Florabella - CHOOSE ME! PICK ME!

Shana Rae from Florabella Collection makes some beautiful actions and textures for Photoshop users. I love her stuff and use it all the time in my post processing. Florabella is currently looking for testers for Shana's next set of textures coming out and I'd like to be chosen! What an honor that would be?!?! She's also doing a giveaway which would be amazing to win as well. Here's a couple of samples of some photos I've used Florabella Collection on as well as the recipe I used.

An Afternoon at the Park

Little Ella - 11 Days old and Totally Alert

Today I had the opportunity of photographing another precious little newborn named Ella. She was so tiny at only 11 days old yet was bound and determined to stay awake and alert the whole hour and a half that I was photographing her for. She was completely adorable. 'Thank You's' go out to her mom and grandma for having patience with me and allowing me to intrude in their day and keep little Ella up (although not my intention ;) for the time that I was there photographing her. Enjoy the Sneak Peak. More of little Ella to come soon.

L&R Wedding - Sneak Peak!!!

I was so blessed, honored, and excited to be asked by L&R to photograph their wedding after taking engagement photos for them a few months ago. Last Saturday, September 4th, 2010, L&R tied the knot in front of all their family and friends. It was a beautiful day and I am so excited about these pictures. L&R are one of those couples that when you know them...you know that there's no one else in this world better suited for either of them...they were made for each other. Thank you L&R for believing in me, trusting me and blessing me with the opportunity of taking part in your day.

Little Miss K - Soooooooooo SWEET!!!! (Sneak Peak!)

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Little Miss K today and spend some time photographing her. At 7 days old she was such a sweetheart not to mention completely adorable! Thank you to H&D for opening up your home to me this morning and allowing me the opportunity of meeting you both and K. You were all more than gracious and I greatly enjoyed my time with all of you. I'm in love with these shots already. K is absolutely gorgeous! Enjoy the Sneak Peak!

Baby Mylia

On Monday August 16th I had such a special opportunity to photograph a 3 week old darling little girl named Mylia. I learned a great deal from that session and I so appreciate the patience of her and her mother as I tried out a few new props and ideas, not to mention a new lens for my camera as Mylia napped (as best as she could) on my fuzzy white matt while I snapped away. This is a SNEAK PEAK of a few of the shots we came out with.

Headbands by Rebeca

A good friend of mine and co-worker has been creating these adorable little headbands for girls of all ages lately and is looking to go into business with them. I personally have bought quite a few from her as photography props and they've made for gorgeous little accessories for some little ones in recent pictures I've done. Last Thursday evening I photographed a few beautiful ladies of various ages sporting Rebeca's headbands to help her get her business started. This is the SNEAK PEAK from that photoshoot.

If you are interested in any of the headbands you see in these photographs or other photographs I've done with them let me know and I'll connect you with her.

Baby Aydenne

On Monday August 9th I had the opportunity to photograph a 3 month old sweetheart named Aydenne. Unfortunately I got lost in Port Coquitlam trying to get to her to take photos and keeping a baby waiting is never a good idea. Aydenne tolerated me for 20 minutes but after that she was done, understandably so. Fortunately I do know that when your working with children of any age you need to work fast and so I used that 20 minutes for all it was worth and we did get some adorable photos out of her. I'm looking forward to another opportunity to photograph beautiful little Aydenne. Thank you to Brittany's mom for allowing me to interrupt their lives for a morning to try some things out with Aydenne and get more experience with little ones like her. Here is a SNEAK PEAK of some of the photos I took of Aydenne in that 20 minute window.
