portraits · Kelsi and Kara · Victoria BC
Kelsi and Kara, meet everyone. Everyone, this here’s Kelsi and Kara. Canon EOS 400D (XTi) · Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 18 mm · 1/200 s · f/10 · ISO 1600 Actually, you’ve met Kelsi once before, though it was only her smile.

wedding · Meaghan + Matt ∙ Victoria BC
Happy, happy wedding to our wonderful and decidedly un-boring friends, Meaghan and Matt. Canon EOS 400D (XTi) · Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 18 mm · 1/250 s · f/10 · ISO 400 Rawr!

This has to be the most wonderfully silly, yet most appropriate …
Gwendolyn

It’s so cute, I could just burst. =)

daisy chain
“Sometimes, I wish we could start out old and grow younger.” A profound musing from the girl with daisies in her hair. Happy birthday, Kaitlyn. =)
Kelsi
Kelsi — photographer, diver, musician, sports fanatic, coach, student — before her departure from the province. Shock awe! A human being! Plus, one that actually knew she was being photographed! Yes, I’m getting there. If my career were that of portrait photographer, I’d go broke in a week. Despite how I may come off in “public mode” or in front of those …
shining down
During an otherwise cloudy day, the sun beams down upon Andrew, entranced in his book. This photo would not exist without Alex, who pointed out this shaft of sunlight during a moment I was far too distracted with attempting to impale myself with the rubber feet of a microphone stand. =)
