awaiting might be an understatement... seems like these two were so ready for the new addition to their family that 4 days after this shoot, they gave birth to their lovely daughter - maya!


now i'm the one who can't wait to get some photos of her to share with the world!  congratulations!

the sweet anticipation

my personal favourite

the perfect cover photo for the next chapter of their family

here's to your new family, a new beginning and a new life!

grad.2010|anxious

here are the grads of 2010 - ready or not, here they come. an exciting set of teens anxious to take on the world. i had the opportunity to snap a few pictures of them before their celebratory dinner and this is what they showed me:

 

congratulations to you all!  hope to see you again one day - i had a blast taking your photos!

cate.matt|joyful

cate and matt are full of life and it shows in the way they express themselves even when they aren't talking. it was evident that these two belong together during the engagement shoot, and the fun never ended when the two of them were in front of the camera!

this photo got me excited

i couldn't resist doing a mini-photo shoot with the rings

gorgeous!

didn't i say they were fun?

the guys - showing off

always time for fun with suspenders!

classy!

a stunning group photo

congratulations again, cate and matt! it was an honour capturing your special day and i wish you two all the best!

fonseca.family|prosperity

so the fonseca family were expecting another member of their family to join them at any moment and they thought of me.  that is to say, they thought of having me photograph what would become my first maternity photoshoot!  and what fun it was (especially with jacob there) to capture some moments the few weeks before maya would come into the world!

you might remember jacob from a previous photo shoot i did with him.  well he's grown up so much since then (but just as adorable as ever!)  here are my faves from the day:

 

proud mother and father

  

i'm sure maya can feel that

  

big brother is already looking out for his little sister

  

  

  

  

  

thanks for letting me part of maya's "pre" history!  can't wait to take photos of her and share them.

cate.matt|perpetual

this is cate and matt.  truly a force to be reckoned with - this pair of karate champions mean business.  i was fortunate enough, however,  to catch them on a day when it was all play!

white rock holds a special place in their hearts and so we rushed off to crescent beach to capture some moments and document their story.

 

first a little depth-of-field (pardon the pun)

  

 the layering in this photo really made them stand out (not like they need any help)

  

a fun couple in a beautiful field - the perfect recipe

  

a little blue reduction

  

 standing on the edge of bliss

  

 i've been waiting so long to do the perfect sunset photo - with cate and matt, there were so many "perfect" photos it was hard to choose just one

  

 ... so here's another

  

... and another!

  

 it was obvious how absolutely meant-for-each-other they were

  

 yeah, i know - HOT

 

congratulations, you two!  i can't wait for the ceremony and reception - i'll be there to capture the beginning of the rest of your lives together!
