Maki’s Family | Victoria BC Family Photographer

I’m blogging a little out of order here… But wanted to share my first family session of 2013.

Maki contacted me just before Christmas to ask if I had any sessions available while her sister and her sister’s family were here visiting from Japan.  We managed to find a time to get together just before I went on vacation and before they went back to Japan.  It was a wonderful extended family shoot on a very cold and frosty day.  The two little boys were so excited by the frost which they had never seen before.  I hope they liked their visit to Canada, and I’m so glad that I was able to capture these memories of the whole family together.

 

 

Lighting 201

I recently completed a course on Mastering Natural Lighting Indoors with Clickin Moms University.  I love the Clickin Moms forum, and really enjoyed this class.  I learned some great ways of shooting in tricky lighting situations – such as our gloomy and dark Victoria days.  Here are a few of the images that I captured as assignments for the class.

Huge thanks to my boys for being so cooperative in being my practice subjects!

 

Those eyes!

This weekend we are celebrating Family Day here in BC.  So we are trying to spend lots of quality family time together.  Today we spent the afternoon at Fort Rodd Hill running around the grounds. I snapped a few photos of the boys.  This one captivates me.  He has the most incredible eyes. (And if you look closely you can see me reflected in them!)

Sneak peek: Alison’s Maternity Session

I had the honour of meeting Alison, Shannon and their adorable dog Chloe today. They are expecting their first baby in March. (On my husband’s birthday to be exact).  Alison has a perfect little bump.  I can’t wait to meet their little bundle of joy.  Thanks for letting me capture this special time in your lives Alison and Shannon!
