Henry’s Vancouver Baby Photo Session

When I got the email from Janet and Karsten asking me to photograph their soon-to-be baby boy, I was super-excited for two reasons – to meet their new addition, and to see them again after photographing their beautiful 2009 wedding.  Janet and Karsten are a sweet couple, and it turns out that little Henry was just like his parents!  He co-operated with all our photo ideas and was a real trooper through multiple outfit changes, sleeping in a wooden bowl, and even being posed with the family dog!  Thanks to Janet and Karsten for having me over to do a baby photo session with Henry – he’s a really lovely little man!

My Second Favourite Subject – FOOD!

I was recently asked if I would be interested in photographing some dishes for Onyx Steakhouse and Pearl on the Rock restaurants in White Rock.  How could I say no, when my second favourite subject to photograph (after people, of course!) is food!  And I have to say, the food at these two establishments is fabulous – fresh, colourful, and presented beautifully (not to mention, delicious!), so it was a pleasure to photograph each and every dish.  If you’re in the area, (or even if you’re not, it’s worth the drive), check out Onyx and Pearl on the Rock for a decadent dining experience!

Mozart Bakery – Wedding Cakes and Deliciousness!

I first saw Estelle’s amazing wedding cakes at the Savvy Bride Show, where we were both in the “Fire” themed room.  I thought it would be great to connect with her further, so I offered to come by Mozart Bakery and do some head shots for her and her assistant Michelle.  Check out her website – not only does she do fabulous and unique wedding cakes, but she also does corporate work and has a lovely little cafe inside the bakery in Langley!*Just an additional note – Estelle’s work was recently featured in the online magazine, Bakers Journal – and my photo was on the cover!  How exciting!  Check out the link here.

Danielle Synotte - That is so cool you were on the cover – congrats! Love the cakes!June 15, 2010 – 11:30 am

Micah’s Vancouver Baby Photo Session

Little Micah made his big debut into the world just a few short weeks ago, so it was the perfect time to document this stage of his life with a baby photo session.  Newborns are so fun to shoot, because they are relatively immobile and you can basically mold them into the perfect pose!  Micah was an excellent model in this respect, and Mom Tara, Dad Joey, and big sister Amara joined in for some of the photos.  Tara is the makeup artist extraordinaire that works with me at all my Boudoir Marathons, and it was wonderful to photograph her beautiful family!

Savvy Bride Wedding Show

On Sunday, March 28, I had the pleasure of taking part in the Savvy Bride Wedding Show, where I got to meet some fabulous brides and also see some amazing work by my fellow wedding vendors.  The Show had three rooms – Fire, Earth, and Wind.  My display was in the Fire room, appropriate since I was promoting both my wedding and boudoir work. :)  All of the rooms looked amazing, so I thought I would share some photos of my favourite displays for those who missed this great show!  Also, a big thank-you to Kerry Reid of Fairy Godmother Weddings, who did a fantastic job of pulling this event together, all the while keeping it creative, organized, and fun!

The incredibly beautiful “Fire” display by the immensely talented Evan Orion at Flower-z:

Here are the fabulous bouquets Evan made the for fashion show:

Gorgeous cakes by April Bellia of April Cakes (I especially love the one with the “cameos” all over it) – oh, and trust me, they taste as good as they look!  April Cakes was in the “Wind” room, which used theme colours of white, violet, and pale pink – beautiful!

In the “Fire” room with me was Mozart Bakery, who had created some incredibly unique cakes – I think the “tattoo” style cake is just too cool!

And lastly, a little piece of my display – with a wonderful floral creation by Flower-z – thanks Evan!
