Planning an outdoor Williams Park photo session in March is risky business. Especially when our British Columbia weather is so intensely unpredictable. Today, for example, was cloudy, sunny, drizzling, sunny, pouring, cloudy.
I’m going to say it: springtime weather in B.C. is as fickle as a PMS’ing woman.
Between cooperative sunshine poking its head into the party and adorable children doing a Conga line in the field, an Opa who will happily hold a pink purse with the hand-picked flower and an Oma who mimics her Oma, I posit that this was one perfect afternoon of sunshine and funshine and laughter and love.
Not only did we prove that everyone was all in one place on one continent at one time, but we also have proof positive that we have some not-so-newlywed lovebirds.

Daniel and Jacinta have been married for (only) five years but watching them cherish time together and appreciate one another so fully is amazingly beautiful and absolutely inspiring. (I only say “only” because they still have along way to go…
Every day is a good day when there’s sunshine (especially in the rainy Pacific Northwest) but it’s an even BETTER day when that sunshine comes out just in time to witness Vancouver’s partial solar eclipse (my very first solar eclipse!). The day had been cloudy and rainy but as I drove to Campbell Valley Park,…
I knew I was in for some, um, excitement even before I arrived at the homestead. A couple days before my scheduled photo shoot with this extended family, full of fun and good-looking genes, I got an email wondering if I would hang out an upstairs bedroom window to take an aerial shot of all…
Spoiler alert: this is a self portrait on a gloomy, gray day. Both sunset and raindrops are contrived. For the past several years, I have loved the challenge of creating unique and memorable photos for our annual Christmas card. It’s always easiest to hire a photographer (duuh!) but the creative exercise has become a highlight…
