I’m so happy to share with you the Morrow family today. I had the pleasure of photographing Aimee and Kalen when they were bubbling with the excitement for the arrival of their first baby. You can see their maternity session here. Now, over a year later I was thrilled to capture their family of three. We visited Hatley Park for their session which has the most amazing display of fall colours at this time of year! After some playing in the leaves and sloshing around in rubber boots we went back to the Morrow home where Moss showed me his couch climbing skills as well as his favourite apple box! Cute.

I had the pleasure of photographing this little sweetheart for her 3-month milestone. What a calm cutie! Sara was content as could be on the comfy beanbag- mom and dad may have to invest in one themselves! The three month portrait is a nice age to capture as babies are more alert, can hold their head up on their own and their little personalities are really beginning to blossom.

Alright, I need to apologize as the blog has been receiving some neglect on my part! Now that the Baby Fair is all wrapped up, you can expect more posts in the coming weeks. I’m dying to share some fabulous weddings and portrait sessions with you! First up is Joanna and John. They had a beautiful wedding at the enchanting Sun Lotus Guesthouse, a little jewel of the Cowichan Valley, complete with private lake, gardens, and a gentle slope, perfect for a wedding ceremony. I was the second photographer for their day, alongside Rosanne of Orange Passion Photography. We started off with Jo and John’s first look at a neat derelict church which provided a gorgeous backdrop. For their ceremony they decided to infuse some Celtic origins by having a traditional Handfasting ceremony, whereby the bride and groom’s wrists are bound with a cord for part of the ceremony symbolizing the couple’s coming together as one. This is where “tying the knot” originates! I had never seen this type of ceremony before and I must say it was refreshing to see something uncommon, yet still beautiful. After the ceremony the newly married couple had little paddle on the lake, and the bridesmaids lured the bride onto the trampoline- what fun!! Hehee. Congratulations you two! You make a very sweet couple.
