In the wee hours of the morning

It doesn't get any more NEWborn than this. I had the extreme honour of attending a birth as a photographer recently. Aside from the birth of my own daughter and my wedding, this experience was one of the most amazing of my life. I was SO delighted when M & A invited me to do this...and was as giddy as a school girl in the weeks leading up to M's due date.

Funny thing...I ran into M on her due date, August 10th, while picking blueberries at a local farm! So ladies, if you're pregnant and wondering what you can do to get things moving, perhaps it's time to pick your own berries! LOL Sure enough, at 2 am Monday morning, I got the call.

Amazingly, I was back home by 5:30 am. 2 hour labour...no drugs. Big, Fat Kudos to you M!! You're a strong woman! Congratulations to you both and big brother O.

Stay tuned...I may post more when their ready!

So that's what I did on my week off from work...I retiled a kitchen backsplash, picked blueberries, and photographed a birth. Everyone does that, right? ;)

Now Playing at a Theatre Near You

I'm so far behind in updating this blog, but that's a good thing. It means I've been busy with photo sessions and prepping images for print. If you're waiting for prints, don't worry...I haven't forgotten about you. I had 5 large print orders come within the same week and so I'm trying to wade through all the different requests.

I'll try to post some from my most recent sessions over the next few days...starting with this one! Cindy and I both used to work for the same place, and she asked me to take engagement portraits before she and her fiancee moved to BC. We found a great drive-in theatre with a 50's vibe! Plus there was a handy field of wild flowers next door! These lovebirds were great models. I wish them all the best in their big move across country and for their upcoming wedding. :)
