The Bienko Family

I had a wonderful Sunday afternoon with the Bienko family...

Living in the Vancouver area, we enjoy every last ounce that summer has left to offer us.  The Bienko family and I had an absolutely perfect September afternoon.  It was so great to catch up with an old friend and see her beautiful family.  Especially seeing as they had added a new addition since we last saw one another.  Their daughter was absolutely gorgeous.  Besides myself having some serious hair envy, their daughter Taitum was one of the most beautiful babies I had ever seen.  She was so sweet and such a delight to photograph.  I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Bienko family, catching up, sharing laughs and capturing the last leg of our incredible Vancouver summer.

Enjoy the captures!

Wildlife Rescue Release

Talk about being at the right place at the right time!

Yesterday while I was out and about giving my friend a tour of my home town Richmond, we came across quite a sight.  We were walking around Finn's Slough when a couple of gentleman in a Westfalia pulled up.  They told us that they were there to release a Blue Heron back into the wild.  I was absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to experience such a happy moment.  Even more so, since I happened to have camera with me.

They came out carrying a large kennel and allowed us to have a peek inside.  Then, with a bit of coaxing and a lot of kennel tipping, the heron    Never in my life have I been so close to such a beautiful bird.  They have a very prehistoric like stature and deep yellow eyes.  This particular heron stood still for a good 5-10 minutes before it finally decided to take flight.  I took this as an opportunity for a little photoshoot.  What a treat!

Please enjoy :)

Speaking of strange encounters, this is a very "interesting" video that a friend and I came across.  This song Post is for her...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrUvu1mlWco

Nicci & Bobby

My beautiful Step-Sister and her ruggedly handsome boyfriend Bobby called me up and asked me if I wanted to do a photoshoot for them.  Obviously, I was more than happy to oblige.

Nicci, Bobby and I had a great time playing around in the rain.  We captured some very cool shots with the help of Mother Nature.  The raindrops in some of these photos sparkle like little diamonds.  These two had such a great chemistry and it was easy to see how much they love one another.

I really enjoyed getting to spend some time and have some laughs with my little sis, and of course Bobby too.  I also had the pleasure of meeting their new puppy Cici, a 10 month old rescued Rottweiler.  She was an absolute sweetheart.  Except for all of the drool...

Here are the photos from our shoot.  Enjoy!
