sneak peeks::portraits

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!

mission, bc, portrait:: isaac.

this is isaac.

he's one of those guys who everyone likes, the one whose friends always count on for a laugh, and who girls get secret crushes on. he happens to be the little brother of one of my BC besties, carmen. in the past three years i've watched isaac grow from a precocious teen guy into a young man who desires to live for God and know His purposes for him. it's exciting to watch someone like isaac; i'm sure there are incredible things in store for him [and that includes "double dream hands" routines at his sisters' wedding reception ;-).]

 

mission, bc, engagement:: carmen+tal

wow, it's been two weeks since i last posted! not much going on over here... just a major move! we're getting settled and life is good. God is Good!

here are just a handful ((or two)) of my favorite shots from last summer of carmen and tal's e-shoot. it's so hard to believe how quickly this year has flown by, but, i'm extremely happy to have been a part of  their lives these past months, and beside myself at the fact that i get to shoot their wedding tomorrow! here's to the lovely couple... stay tuned to see more of them in the weeks to come!
