F18 and Snowbirds

After managing to find a spot alongside hundreds of people at Air Force beach; my family and I enjoyed a wonderful display by an F18 jet and Snowbirds.  Can't wait for the real show this summer!

35 Weeks of Beauty, Power, and Love

I loved being pregnant.  I loved the entire experience.  Yes there were days I felt horribly tired, in pain, and overall just fed up but in the end the good always outweighed the bad.  Creating life is a gift and I felt honoured to have 40 weeks and 3 days of my baby girl inside of me.  I love when I meet woman who are strong, believe in themselves, and enjoy the beauty of carrying a child.  Chelsea is one of those strong women and it was such a joy to photograph her and her beautiful baby bump!  She is going to make a wonderful mother and I cannot wait to meet her little boy!  Chelsea is hoping for a natural birthing experience at home and I wish her all the best!  Here is a look at our time together down at the Tsolum river on a spring day in between rain showers!



















Christmas will never be the same

My husband and I received the most joyous Christmas gift, our baby girl!  She was born at 3:04pm on a cold but sunny day in the comfort of our home.  She was born healthy and happy and weighing 8lbs 4oz.  We were fortunate enough to have the birthing experience that we had hoped for and delivered her at home, in water, with only myself, my husband, and our midwives present.  It was honestly the most exhilarating, frightening, amazing, and unforgettable experience!  I wouldn't of had it any other way.  Now we are 4 months past that day and I can't imagine my world without our precious little Isla Flora.  She is a ball of energy and a chatty cathy!  We love her so much and can't believe how fast the time has gone by already.  Here is a glimpse of the last 4 months of our lives and why I have had a bit of a hiatus from my photography.
