Jack's First Birthday!


Neither Paul or I can believe our little man has been in our lives for a year! Having a small group of family and friends over to celebrate, Jack LOVED every minute of it. From his getting to eat his favorite pancakes (I made them into a birthday cake) to playing with some of my best friends kiddos, Jack is blessed to have so much love in his life. Thanks to my great friend Jeff for taking some of the pics so I could enjoy the moment!

Vernon Baby Photography: Baby Griffin


I love when I get to work with clients again so I was super excited when Melanie and Jeremy contacted me. Not only do they have the honour of being one of the couples in our award winning photos (Best Engagement Photo from Bride.ca) they are now the proud parents of little Griffin. Only 10 days old when we did his session, Griffin was a little trouper....although he clearly had some opinions about how challenging modeling can be :)

Vernon Baby Photography: Baby Sierra

Tis the season for my last year Wedding clients to be calling me to say they have a new little one. I LOVE that call :) It is not only fantastic to see my past couples but I love the days when I get baby snuggles. Miss Sierra was 11 weeks to the day and the perfect little model for our session. Congratulations Jen and Troy!

Friesens Countrytyme Garden Wedding: Zoe & Josh

I have known the Bryson family for a long time, so when they asked if I could be involved in their daughter Zoes' Wedding to Josh, I was extremely honoured. Having moved to Calgary over 10 years ago, coming back to Vernon, was a big reunion with friends as well so there were plenty of hugs and smiles. The ceremony and reception was at the beautiful Friesens Countrytyme Gardens and my only wish for the day (that wasn't granted) was that I could have gotten my hands on the wedding cake...it was made of my favorite cinnamon buns! Congrats. Josh and Zoe!

Summerhill Pyramid Winery Wedding: Tracey & Owen

May the image we captured always remind you of your beautiful day Tracey and Owen.

Vernon Maternity Photography: Christy

Even though it is Baby #3 for Christy (who is arriving tomorrow-I am so excited!) this was her first maternity session. I am so glad she decided to document her beautiful form. Starting at Elison Park, we then ventured on to a little piece of paradise on Okanangan Lake. Thanks Uncle Don for allowing us to use your beach! I am so excited to meet the beautiful baby girl who has made her mommy so very pretty.

Monkey Doodlez Cloth Diapers


Monkey Doodlez is a great company that I've had the privilege of working with for their new ad campaign. Being a cloth diapering family, I was thrilled when they asked if I could photograph little ones wearing their new snap swim diapers and their great line of cloth diapers-the Tuck & Go system and their AIO (All in One) diapers. Thanks to all our fabulous models-Keira, Jack, Finn, Allie & Drue. I look forward to posting some of the ad campaigns soon!

Summerhill Pyramid Winery: Teresa & James' Engagement

Teresa and James are an adorable couple, who, on a vacation here from Ontario, wanted to have their Engagement Session done at one of their favourite vineyards, Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna. It looked like we were going to get seriously rained on but the rain disappeared and we were left with a perfect day. We wish them all the best as they plan their wedding for next May in Ontario.

Manteo Resort Wedding: Dena & Jeremy

Jeremy & Dena's dream Wedding was at the gorgeous Manteo Lake Resort in Kelowna. Originally from Kelowna, Dena met Jeremy in the States while attending University and it took the joyous event to bring everyone together. With one of the biggest wedding parties we've worked with, we loved all the fun, joy and laughter this group brought to the day. Congratulations Dena & Jeremy!
