Earth Hour 2009 - Vancouver BC Canada

You should know by now that on Saturday, March 28, 8:30pm, will be your chance to vote Earth, to vote to take action against global warming. For one hour, switch off your lights to join the world for Earth Hour.



Just a few images of Mikka taken last weekend using natural light...




And with her face lit by the iPhone. If you can, keep off of your phone and just enjoy an hour with your family and friends and connect with them personally.


And finally, a video about Earth Hour.

Ryan+Andrea Engaged!

2009 will be a really good year for us. I can feel it. While we try hard to improve our craft and run a sound business, we attribute a huge part of our success to our past clients who have willingly referred us to a good number of our 2009 clients. Andrea and Ryan are one of those referrals!

To officially start the year, we shot Ryan and Andrea's engagement session on a wet and miserable day in lovely Vancouver. Andrea was one of the bridesmaid at Jan and Jason's wedding last October. Ryan, on the other hand, plays the trumpet for the 12-piece afro-funk band Five Alarm Funk and we're really looking forward to shooting this wedding this June. We're sure it's going to be one sick party!

Andrea and Ryan are just the sweetest! We started out in a warm luxurious environment in downtown Vancouver then headed over to a grungy part of town while freezing in the rain! Either way, these two look good wherever, wet or dry that it was hard to choose from the many favorites on the set to share with you.

Now that they're warmed up from this e-session, we can't wait to push the images further at their wedding!

For now, here are a few faves from Saturday.
















Andrea and Ryan, we wish we had more time for the session. Nonetheless, you kicked off our season really well and set the bar high for the rest of the year!

Mikka at TWO

I know you must be waiting for new photos on the blog. They're coming, they're coming... right now, we're enjoying every single minute with our little girl who is just growing up faster than we would have liked.

Here's just a few snaps at home this weekend...

She's already trying to read to herself. Here, she started every sentence in her story with "Sometimes..." At 2 years and 1 month, she can already tell if a book is right side up.

Hah! I'm sure our friends will tease us about how Mikka already knows how to pose in front of the cam. However, this was the rare moment that she actually listened to us and sat still for like 10 seconds! She actually couldn't care less about being in front of the camera, although I've already gotten her to look through the viewfinder, press the shutter and see the image on the LCD screen. I think she's already getting the concept!
Here, she's just being bratty.

Then crazy...

This time last year, she wasn't even talking yet. Now, oooohhh boy! She is such a talker! We just love hearing her voice around the house whether she's singing, screaming, laughing or whining!
