Baby Alexandra

On July 1st I photographed Ken & Jen's new baby girl Alexandra. Ken is an old friend of my brother's and it was a lot of fun to photograph Ken's family as it has been years since we'd last met. Alexandra was a very cute and cooperative little baby. We just had a couple interruptions to feed and change a diaper, which is to be expected with new babies. Thus over all it was a great, very enjoyable, portrait session!

Prom 2009

On June 25th I photographed prom pictures for Christina, Braydon, Caitlin, and Glen. Everyone looked fabulous all dressed up! We took some photos at Sardis Park and at the old City Hall in downtown Chilliwack. We were worried there might be an issue with rain, but it turned out to be a nicely overcast day, just perfect for photos!
This was my first prom photo opportunity and I really enjoyed it!

Sandra and Adam

On saturday June 6th I photographed Sandra and Adams wedding. It was my very first wedding using an assistant and I quite enjoyed the extra flexibility and the extra company. I have also just learned a new photo editing program, which means you will now be able to see some new styles developing. (I am a big fan of the aged photo look). Plus this new editing program makes the behind the scenes operation so much easier, more creative, and enjoyable!
I had a great time working with Sandra, Adam and their friends.

BC United Church Conference

In May I photographed the 2009 United Church BC Conference. This is my second year photographing this annual event. The first year there were 5 new ministers being ordained and this year there were 15 new ministers being "added to the flock". It was a very enjoyable service and the theme of celebration was very strong, always a pleasure to photograph. You can view all of the images posted in my online gallery under "clients".

Pamela & Owen Wedding

Pamela & Owen celebrated their wedding on May 2nd. They were married at Eben-Ezer Mennonite Church, which has a great balcony as I always love the photo shot from the balcony! We also had lots of fun photographing the formals at Ellwood Park, it was nice using the bridges, pathways and covered wooden structures.

Csorba Family

Last Sunday I enjoyed photographing the Csorba family. Mrs Csorba's father was pre-celebrating his 60th birthday with a family portait. Everyone was very cooperative to work with and the the 17 grandchildren were super cute! I even enjoyed a very yummy snack with the family after the photo session.
Kristina Csorba has also booked me to take her prom photographs in June and I am looking forward to capturing some creative photos of Kristina and her friends in the near future!

Jennifer & Scott's Wedding 2009

I must say I was a little worried when I got in my car to go photograph the wedding on Saturday and it started to snow! However, luck was with us and we hit perfect weather all the way through the day. We started with some formal photos at Heritage park in Mission, the valley view was clear and the sun was shinning. Then we drove over to Whonnock Lake and snow was falling, but of course looking beautiful. I discovered it is very challenging to photograph while the snow is falling because the snow gets in the way, I got big snowy blotches all over my subjects faces. But once again, luck was with us, the snow stopped falling and the whole lake was lit up with beautiful light! My assistant (Pete, the best man) commented, "Man this is like a Robert Bateman painting, it is so amazing!"
