Summer Vacation - Okanagan Camping and Wine Tasting

Some favourite shots of mine from our camping/wine tasting trip to hot, sunny and beautiful Okanagan. We camped just outside of Oliver, BC at an RV park.  Never EVER thought I would do RV camping, but I have to say...the kids love it, our son was biking around until he could barely keep his eyes open.  We had a beach just steps from our site, the neighbors were friendly, and we were near some of our favourite wineries. A few photos below are from our picnic lunch at Rustico Winery; Bruce, the winery owner is seriously the hospitality cowboy!!

We also visited Le Vieux Pin, Burrowing Owl in Oliver, and Stags Hollow in Okanagan Falls. Le Vieux Pin...gorgeous wines, lovely chat in the tasting room, and the kids appreciated the visit to their mini-farm of chickens, roosters and miniature goats. 

 Summer is almost winding down now and I will be sad to see it go.  Enjoy!

Large Prints and Canvas Gallery Wraps

I am working on some new prints for framing and canvas for our house, it's time to change things up again!  In looking for something for printing a larger print (11x14) for framing or canvas, I found this photo. I was really busy at the time with various projects and I missed this one of my baby girl, so glad I went back looking.   Love the downtown Vancouver background from Spanish Banks beach, awesome! Baby girl is pretty sweet too. ;)

 This photo is a great example of a print that will look stunning in a framed print or canvas gallery wrap. For this one I am looking at 11x14, but later I will look for an even larger photo for my front hallway.  My background in Interior Design drives my passion for getting your family photos up on the wall to share. I feel that in this age of digital technology, the photos that will be passed down through families are at risk of being lost, especially photos of artistic merit and those that have special meaning.

As your photographer, I will work with you to choose those photos for large format prints, and where and how to hang in your home.  I provide this home consultation complimentary in your photo package.

Now back to sifting through my family photos....

Summertime Fun

Having a great summer so far; road trips, cabins, visitors, friends, family, good food, and even a tourist in my own town. What more could I ask for....
