baby crazy

yes… i am. baby crazy.
i expect nature will take it’s course and hopefully include me in the prestigious group of women i call “mothers” – one day.
until then, i get my fill of baby love through these little tykes i’m photographing…

life in a digital instant. the beginning.

oh the iphone. or any camera phone, for that matter. it’s been years of snap here, snap there. i’ve been collecting moments from my phone forever, but they never get shown in any way. they sit, next to numbers and a selection of songs, waiting for their time to shine. patiently waiting.
i’ve decided to start [...]
one day maui adventure.

a few moments from an adventure in maui. april and francis were so great – from kihei to wailea to makena to haiku to paia to lahaina to ka’anapali… we covered the maui basics in record time with their beautiful celebration of love.
congrats you two!
chloe & gary

love, mexico and tequila.
on the day of their wedding it was supposed to rain. chloe and i checked out an alternate venue inside the resort which was dull and lifeless to say the least. she walked with authority to her coordinator and said “no – i want the wedding outside, on the beach, like i [...]
beaver point hall

we had the simple pleasure of a full 24 hours on saltspring island. a mere half hour out of any civilization we are accustomed to, we landed in fullford harbour and made our way to our cute little yellow cottage b&b. we dropped off our bags, put on our exploration caps and made our way [...]
sum summa

i really feel like i’ve digressed these days. not for the worse necessarily. but somehow been pulled away from the digital realm that has been my reality for some time now.
with all of this polaroid shooting i’m doing, i find the ease of posting so much harder. i don’t have a scanner and the polaroids [...]
crazy about maia

my fiance knows i’m baby crazy. most of my friends know i’m baby crazy. most mothers of kids find out i’m baby crazy. not that anyone should be scared or anything. a little crazy never hurt anyone ;)
the other day i got the opportunity to photograph little maia, two days before her first birthday. the [...]
i know this guy….

ok. it isn’t often i do this, only because the world out there has too many amazing things that i love that it’s hard to settle on something and write a ballad of why i love it. but i just really want to right now.
an old friend and a dear love of mine, mr. chris [...]
almost nieces

my beautiful little almost nieces. my cousin has the most adorable little set of girls. talia and lila. gorgeous, curious, happy and perhaps too smart for their own good ;)
it’s funny – i almost always take pictures of both of the girls together. something inside me wants to… i don’t know… complete the set i [...]
s. carey – friendly faces.

i just came across these polaroids from last year of the boys from s. carey. i’ve heard from a little bird that they are on the move again. perhaps you will be lucky enough that they stop in your home town. sigh. i’m jealous.
any ways, these are from a short chat over a scotch at [...]

current swell in maui

well yes. there was a sweet swell yesterday. and last week. but the swell i’m talking about is of a musical variety. scott, dave, chris and ghosty. that current swell. they rocked the island foundations of a couple of little booze filled tropical huts, playing several shows on the island. holy crap can these guys [...]
having a laugh

festivities from the celebration of this wonderful new year have finally begun to settle down. reality of what 2011 really means is just about hitting us now. decorations are taken down, the dump is piled high with trees that once sparkled in our eyes while anticipation and mystery cloaked our excitement. party hats and empty [...]
Jenn and Ernie

Here is one of my favourites from Jenn and Ernie’s wedding… It’s of Jenn before she became a Gonzalez. She is just a beautiful, amazing person.
roots, rock, rhythm at english bay

“i love today” – those were the words of my friend who i ran into at english bay yesterday, dancing in front of a stage with my friends jon & roy playing their jumping jingles. with our fingers snapping and our feet tapping we reveled in the happy sounds of live music in the sunshine [...]
omar & andrea | teaser

amelia lee clark

i love children. they have a raw appreciation for life that is untainted and youthful. they find everything beautiful and everything fun and everything is all good. amelia is one of the most animated, intelligent kids i’ve ever known. she puts herself to nap, sings songs with hand actions like a pro and loves raisin [...]
