Houseboating and Forest Adventures

I was so excited to return back to the Shushwap after two long years.  It reminded me why this is and will probably always be my favourite holiday.  I always enjoy being on the water, and what's better than having a new beach to check out every day and new hiking trails?

I spent most of the time away from my camera so I would be forced to relax and enjoy my time away.  From the few times that I did decide to pick it up, here are some photos that I took...

Enjoy!

Pulse Dance Studio

I was asked by the owners of Pulse Dance Studio to shoot a studio session for their companies year end photos.  I had a great time with these kids as they completed costume change after costume change and held their poses for me.  Sometime in very difficult positions.  The sheer athleticism that these kids and young adults pose is incredible.  For 5 hours straight we had one group after another come through and show us their stuff!
I had so much fun watching everyone bring their A-Game and energy to each group while holding their poses so I could get the perfect shot.  Here are just a few of my favourites...

Great work Pulse Dance Students!!!

Here is a song to get you pumped up...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EcjWd-O4jI

Amelia & Quoc's Wedding Reception

It was a beautiful September evening where friends and family gathered in the Nguyen's backyard to celebrate the marriage of two special souls who have committed to sharing a life together.

Quoc and I have been friends for over 8 years, 5 of which were spent being roommates and band members.  I was elated to see my friend with a woman who truly makes him happy, challenges him and has also become my friend.  Amelia looked incredible.  There is not really any other word to use to describe her.  Her cheeks were glowing from smiling and her dress was absolutely gorgeous.  Quoc also cleaned up quite nicely in his handsome pinstriped suit.  It was a great day to share laughs, eat amazing Vietnamese cuisine and clink glasses of tasty wine and spirits.

The backyard decor was simply stunning with strung globe lights, bird cages and lace upon lace.  Everything looked elegant and beautiful.  The cake table was probably my favourite.  It was an array of incredible homemade cakes, cookies, cupcakes and decadent delights.  I'm not usually one for desserts but I really have a hard time saying no to cheesecake...

All in all it was a beautiful evening.  I was able to catch up with many old friends and some extended family members whom I hadn't seen in far too long.  I love these two and I can't wait to watch their family blossom and grow.

Best wishes to my dear friends Amelia and Quoc.  xo
