MOVING TO VANCOUVER BC.....AND MY NEW BLOG IS LIVE!

Hi Everyone!

I've been taking a hiatus in blogging recently due to two major things! If you don't follow me on facebook, then it's hard to know why I've been MIA....

#1 reason is because my family and I have decided to permanently move back to Vancouver BC Canada! Our move will officially take place during mid April and this past month we've been so busy selling our condo and getting ready to pack all our belongings. It's a very bittersweet moment because we've established so many great things here in the last 7 years!

Glancing back, I started my nursing career in labor and delivery in 2005, my photography business took off in 2006, my two babies were born in San Francisco (yes they will have dual citizenship), and mostly all the friendships we've made along the way! Don't get me wrong, moving back home will definitely have it's benefits too :) The most important is having our family nearby! I'm planning to take the rest of the year off from nursing and I'll finally be able to focus more on photography, so that will be exciting!

#2 reason is I've been busy building my new blog in the midst of everything else! While I'm preparing to establish and grow my photography business in Vancouver, I wanted to re-brand and design a new blog that reflects my taste and personality.

So here it is, from now on you can follow me at www.cathykamphotography.com

SEE YOU ALL THERE!!! Don't forget to bookmark the new blog :)

Newborn Session with Baby Dylan

Gong Hei Fat Choi, Happy Chinese New Year of the Dragon!

Born on January 3rd, baby Dylan was welcomed with love! On our session together at 6 days young, Dylan didn't want to sleep and was more interested in his new environment and surroundings! I agree being able to see beyond darkness in mommy's belly is a lot more exciting! He did manage to snooze a little for us though.....enjoy!

Baby Kieran: 7 weeks young

I was delighted to get a call from Kieran's mom when she contacted me for baby photos. Kieran stayed awake half of the time, so we were able to get a few smiles from him :) Watch out for this little heart breaker, he's definitely a keeper!

If you're expecting and you're thinking of having newborn photos done, please plan ahead and email me your due date so we can schedule a session when your baby is 5-10 days young :)

My Baby Emi

I like to use certain photoshop actions every now and then on my photos for a different look and feel. Just the other day I took some current pictures of my daughter and used one particular action that I think worked quite well :)

Here's baby Emi at 5.5 months already!

Newborn Session with Baby Gracie

This is the story of my friend...

Doctors told her not to get pregnant because of a heart problem she had, and when she found out she was expecting they advised her to terminate this pregnancy due to possible complications that could threaten her life. But after much prayers and tears, she decided to give life a chance because that's just the person she is. On December 19th 2011 a miracle baby was born. Everything that had led up to this moment was uncomplicated, until she started losing blood from an unknown source that almost claimed her life. She lost 4.5 Liters of blood which was her total blood volume, but with the help of many extraordinary doctors and nurses, and with the grace of God, she was given a second chance to live. Like many others have said, if this isn't a miracle then I don't know what is.

May 2012 bring much love, happiness and good health to all. Congratulations to our friends who experienced an incredible journey in 2011 and Happy New Year to everyone!
