Terry + George Backyard Intimate Wedding, Richmond, BC

I totally fell in love with this couple!! Terry & George, together for 17 years, had decided to finally get hitched.  It was a lovely ceremony in their backyard with just their immediate families there to witness this special day.

Terry was giddy with excitement the whole time I was there taking photos and I think I captured the genuine love they share. It's inspiring that after 17 years of being together, to see such passion and love between a couple.

They live on a gorgeous townhouse complex with beautiful gardens....we didn't have to travel far for their photos. ;) 

Enjoy the photos..... :)

 

4Cats Capitol Hill - Parents & Friends Night Out

Recently I spent a Wednesday evening at 4Cats Capitol Hill for a Parent's and Friend's Night Out. My son attends art classes at 4Cats and when Maggie, the Capitol Hill studio curator, told me that she was holding an evening painting class for adults I signed up right away!

Even though I took art, photography, drafting, drawing, and majored in Interior Design in college, I never considered painting "my thing".  So I was a little curious as to how I would do in this class because often painting as an art intimidated me. Especially acrylic paint on canvas, which was on this evenings menu.

I cannot tell you how much FUN this class was!!! Maggie and her team (Dino and Neela) made us feel comfortable and walked us through the process of painting a Georgia O'Keeffe inspired painting.  The teaching process was a wonderful balance of being left to create our own inspired piece while getting little tips and tricks along the way to help us with painting technique etc.

Here are some shots of the evening.  I have to give credit to Maggie for grabbing my camera to take some shots while I was busy painting. So for once, I am in some photos!!!

Thanks to Maggie and her team for a fabulous evening.  A much needed fun night out getting creative!

 

4Cats Capitol Hill 'Under The Sea' Workshop

Back in March I photographed a workshop at 4Cats Capitol Hill located on Hastings in North Burnaby near Willingdon. I was invited by curator Maggie Murphy to take the photos which are to be featured in the summer issue of the 4Cats Magazine.  The Workshop, called 'Under the Sea', lets kids create an under the sea painting on real canvas with acrylic paint, sand and glitter.  It was amazing to see the whole process unfold and how these kids could make such cool paintings on their own.  Great job kids! 

Thanks for inviting me down! Look for the article and some of these photos and an AD for Elle Photography in the summer issue of 4Cats magazine coming soon! 

 As they say at 4Cats...."Art is Good".

Love. Is all there is.

Love. Is all there is.  The title of this post says everything about this e-session and I think the photos speak for themselves about what love is.  Congrats you two I am looking forward to your September greenhouse wedding! 

Urban Baby

 With decor as stylish as this, it's one of the reasons I LOVE to take in-home newborn photos where new mama's are comfortable, and I can take photos of the new babe in his own surroundings. Never mind this little guy is completely adorable!!!
