Newborn Session with Baby Bauer

Baby Bauer is a special baby that I helped deliver on April 28th, 2011. Half the battle during our photo session was to get Bauer to stay asleep so we could get those dreamy newborn photos :) We spent about 3 hours and he wanted to stay awake during most of that time while we were trying to pose him during the rare moments of R.E.M. sleep! Congratulations Simon and May, here are a few of my favorites!

Mexico Wedding: Benson + Katrina

Randy and I have known Katrina for half our lives and she's always been that true friend that will always stick by us through thick and thin :) We've been anticipating Benson and Kat's wedding for as long as they started dating which was about 7 years ago :) And finally on April 20, 2011 we witnessed their dream wedding as they said their emotional vows on a beautiful beachside ceremony in Mexico with all their close friends. Congratulations again Benson and Katrina! You two are destined to be together and we're extremely happy for you!

Here are some pictures from my camera when I wasn't busy with bridesmaids duties :) Enjoy!







Thanks Gi for helping us take this photo with the bride and groom :)

Mexico E-session with Nancy + Leon

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to catch up with my best friend Nancy and Leon while vacationing in Mexico! These two are seriously meant for each other, they are so alike in many ways and their relationship just seems to fit so perfectly. I really couldn't be happier that they're both taking the next step in marriage together. LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!

Now onto some engagement photos that were taken in and around the resort while staying at Mexico :)







Their signature pose :)

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the wonderful moms out there, Happy Mother's Day!

This was the only photo I could find from last year of my mom and I on Tyler's first birthday! LOVE YOU MOM!!

Mexico Family Session with the Estebans

This is somewhat a continuation of my previous blog post, except they're family photos that I took of Makki, Grace and their adorable daughter Kayla :) It was a short but fun session because we only had one hour of gorgeous lighting before the sunset and the chance to help each other take photos with fussy kids (more so Tyler than Kayla). I'm so glad we were finally able to hang out because Makki and Grace live in Vancouver and we've never had the opportunity on all our past visits. Hopefully that will change now that Tyler and Kayla are so fond of each other :)

Enjoy the photos!

Our family Portraits

On our trip to Mexico, we met up with our long time friends Makki and Grace who has a daughter, Kayla that's just a few months younger than Tyler. It was an instant bond between the pair since they were the only other family with a child. One evening we decided to help each other take some family photos around the resort and here are a few that they got for us using my 5D. I'll be posting a couple of their family pictures on my next blog...stay tuned!








I took the next 3 photos when Tyler and Kayla were flirting with each other :)
