bebe. gray:: newborn and at home in the coolest nursery ever.

i was given opportunity to shoot gray's newborn photos last november, right before the holidays. then, the new year arrived and life was busy for us all, so, it wasn't until last week that i had a little visit from gray and her mommy and aunty to pick up their images [they came for tea and a lovely conversation! my clients are such beautiful people, inside and out!]... seeing as though her folks have their image disk at home with them now, i thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites here! i loved shooting in gray's nursery; it's absolutely inspired and so peaceful, like gray herself. enjoy bebe. gray!

gray's fabulous parents!

her daddy is a surfer.

to finish our shoot, we had to take a family "movember" shot. what a fun idea!

on saturday, i headed out before the sun for a day of portrait sessions... what an awesome day! i shot three sessions, in many different locations, and had a great time with each unique subject group. here's just a sampling of what was captured. there are tons of favorites, but, for one reason or another, these three stood out.

 

mission, bc, family session:: the jordans

the heart of this spectacular young family is my lovely friend, elektra. we met a year-and-a-half ago in a waiting room, immediately connecting as two women who had no qualms chatting up strangers. when i left that day, i kicked myself for not getting her number. i decided to call the medical office, hoping for a chance they would give me her number, but, doubting that was protocol. imagine my delight when the receptionist informed me elektra had told them to give me her number. :-)

i don't think i know anyone with more energy than elektra, so, when she booked a shoot with me i was super excited to work with her, knowing it would be tons of fun, along with her wonderful man, pat, and their darling collection of girlies. elektra had scouted out an amazing spot for us to shoot; an old barn in rural mission. i loved it. i had such a blast shooting these ((as well as creating the piece at the end per elektra's request.)). enjoy!

 

their family has a tradition for their girls to wear this sari in a portrait during age 2. i love how these turned out! little s was such a model.

gorgeous couple.

i LOVE this one.

this shot is intended to be a canvas for their wall. i'm sure mothers of young ones can all relate... being a mommy is a busy job!
