Lilly Grace

On Sunday afternoon I went over and visited with Courtney and Jason to capture their new little bundle of joy.  In all of her glory, Lilly Grace was simply too cute for words...

Being patient is hard enough as an adult when you're trying to capture a good photo.  When you're a baby, it's a whole other ball game.  I was honestly very surprised with just how good little miss Lilly was.  Not only was she absolutely adorable she put up with a lot of poses including sharing the lime light with her fur-siblings, Carlos and Sanchez.  Courtney and Jason were very lucky that I didn't go home with of their fur babies.  They both would fit in very well at my house!  Their personalities were too funny for words and it took me a solid few minutes to get to my feet after Carols (the smaller of the two) greeted me so lovingly at the door.  He managed to intwine himself into my scarf and I thought I might have had to start sporting a new fashion statement. 

I had a wonderful time meeting beautiful Lilly Grace and I can't wait to watch her grow up!

Thanks for all of the fun Nicolas!

Dancing in the rain with Jen & Josiah

If you live in Vancouver, you know that it's raining about 80% of the time and sunny, the other 20%. While most people aren't thrilled with our exorbitant amount of liquid sunshine, we've also become fairly accustomed to it.  Though, I didn't think my beautiful bride Jen was going to let the rainy day of her wedding, roll so easily off of her back...

We spent so much time laughing in our gumboots, running around Fort Langley while clinging onto umbrellas, that we didn't really pay much attention to it.  But that's not to say that a stop for a hot chocolate afterwords, wasn't in order to warm up!

This was my third time photographing Jen & Josiah.  After our first photoshoot together of their family as a whole (they had just adopted their rescue dog Topper), we became instant friends.  I have so much fun with these two, it never feels like work when I'm shooting.  I couldn't have been more thrilled when they asked me to capture and be a part of their special day.  It was a lovely, intimate wedding with perfect little touches that reflected both Jen & Josiah.  There was enough food to feed an army, one of the coolest wedding cakes I have ever seen and some of the loveliest family, friends and guests I have had the pleasure of meeting.

If life has taught me anything (and continues to teach me), always make the most of a moment.  I think back to when I was a kid and never once did I ever worry about getting dirty, being late or having awful hair.  Life is fleeting...  So don't ever be afraid to get messy and if ever you can, go dance in the rain.  That's what they made towels for.

Congratulations Jen & Josiah!! xox
