golden hour family session: N family.

celebrating a 50th anniversary is a wonderful reason for family portraits. combine that with a beautiful summer weather and that makes a perfect evening. :)

cultus lake golden hour session: josh + naomi.

when you mix a newlywed couple with a beautiful evening spent at a lake, you get one very happy photographer. these two recently celebrated 6 months of marriage and i'm so glad we got to hang out a few weeks ago. thanks for letting me be creative and braving the cold water :)

abbotsford grad photographer: cherysh.

there's something about grad sessions that make me smile. maybe it's the excitement from the grad, the beautiful dress she's wearing or the smiles everyone has the whole day. i loved photographing cherysh and her family! this family is no stranger to the blog either, i've done 2 engagement sessions (here and here) and now 2 prom sessions with this family (you can find the first one here)! also, in september, i will be adding a wedding to that list!congratulations cherysh! i wish you all the best in your bright future!thanks to oldhand coffee for giving cherysh the VIP treatment :)

aldergrove lake engagement: alvin & julia.

there's nothing i love more than golden light and a couple in love. these two met when julia switched schools. alvin came into class a little late and julia, assuming he was new as well, decided to befriend him. almost 9 years later, they are head over heels and getting married this june. looking forward to their summer wedding.

abbotsford grad photographer: chanessa.

i've had the privilege to work with this sweet girl at the restaurant i also work at. she has since moved on but when her mom contacted me to take her prom photos back in may i was so excited! not only is her family super welcoming and loving but chanessa is a huge disney princess fan; as am i! i immediately began thinking of where and how to portray her as the princess that she is. if wandering around in a pretty dress in the trees and by the river doesn't scream disney princess, i don't know what does! chanessa, you are so beautiful inside and out! thanks for letting me be a part of your day!
