Jeanine Winter Portraits – Vancouver Portrait Photography

elaine — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:40:25 +0000

My niece came down for spring break last week, which is always fun, so we decided to go out to the lake for a walk. It’s always a guessing game with her whether she’s going to let me actually take photographs of her or not. Sometimes she gets reeally annoyed with me taking her picture. But this time I asked her if I could take some pictures of her and she said “uh, yeah,” like..duhh auntie of course you can, as if she’s always up for it =p
So we went to the lake and took some nice photos and fed the ducks and geese.

On the way out of the parking lot, we saw an old abandoned wooden chair at the side of the road, so we immediately pulled over to check it out. My old wooden chair, which I also found at the side of the road, is falling apart so I can’t really ask people to sit on it for photos any longer, because, well…they probably will fall right through =S And turns out this chair is awesome and sturdy! So obviously I threw it in my trunk, which my niece found extremely funny and exciting!

Hehe, this photo below is the Jeanine I know & love – wild, crazy & full of spunk! =p

This last one is my fav of the day, i think. I love her expression and how happy she looks =)

Happy Monday!

More Kinga! – Vancouver Portrait Photography

After Kinga and I shot at the blueberry fields, we headed down a nice little back road surrounded by fields and mountains for a few more shots.

I love this location, it’s so pretty =)

Kinga in the blueberry fields! – Vancouver Portrait Photography

elaine — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 01:28:40 +0000

There are 2 things I LOVE that I would like to tell you about today!

Item the first:
I spend a lot of time in Port Coquitlam, since Dylan lives out there, and one of my favourite things about PoCo is when you get to the very edge of town and it turns into farms and fields instead of city. A lot of these farms are blueberry fields, at least the ones nearby Dylan’s place. I LOVE the blueberry fields, for what reason I can’t really explain. It’s sort of a weird thing to be in love with, but seriously, ever since I saw them first, i’ve fallen in love! I suppose it’s how they are in nice neat rows that seem to go forever, and how the branches are all scraggly, and how in the winter most of the branches turn bright red in the right light. It’s kind of magical.

Item the second:
KINGA. I love this girl. Not only is she beeautiful, she’s a blast to shoot with. She is pretty much my go-to-girl for models. We met maybe 2 years ago, we did a little photo shoot for an assignment I had for school, all film, it was raining, she looked fabulous with her button print umbrella, and it was FUN! Ever since then we shoot together every couple months it seems. She understands me and my photography, which is fantastic. She knows what I like and she delivers! I can say, “Hey Kinga, can you laugh for me?” and she gives me the most authentic, cute laugh that results in that amazing smile she has.
But I should stop there before I start sounding like a creep listing the reasons why I love this girl so much =p

How do these two things relate? I told Kinga about these blueberry fields, and how I would love to shoot in them, but that they were technically private property. I asked her what she thought, and reason #1001 why I love this girl, she said, “I’m always down for an adventure, especially if it includes being ninja-esque”. Yes. So we were super stealth (actually not really, we just walked in) and super respectful of the beautiful blueberry bushes. And all that resulted in these fabulous photos! :

I bet you’re in love with them now, too =p

We also took some photos at a pretty little road a few minutes away, but those are for another day!

Candice & Joe – You & Me Session- Vancouver Portrait Photography

elaine — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:27:01 +0000

When Candice and I starting planning our portrait session, she mentioned that her boyfriend, Joe, would be more than happy to help out by carrying around props and anything else that was needed. Of course I said that would be fantastic! but secretly….I was hoping to trick him into being in some of the photos with Candice! (Sneaky, i know)

Well, Joe turned out to be a natural in front of the camera, and I think the photos turned out ADORABLE. And we had so much fun with the balloons! =)

There were so many that i LOVED, it was really hard to choose which ones blog!

Thanks Candice & Joe for a fantastic shoot!!

Candice Portraits – Vancouver Portrait Photography

elaine — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:44:15 +0000

I met Candice on the set of the short film Catechism (she’s a fantastic actress) which I was taking production stills for a couple of years ago. Later on I asked her to model for a shoot a classmate and I had planned for at Hycroft Manor, which was an awesome shoot, but at that point, I still had a lot to learn technically, and was still finding my own style. So I was definitely excited to shoot with her again, in my style and with all of the knowledge I’ve gained since then!

We both decided that we were feeling a vintage style for the session, I brought the props, and left the clothing completely up to Candice. On the morning of the session, she pulls out a huge suitcase full of vintage inspired clothing! This girl definitely has style! So with the help of Candice’s boyfriend carrying props (I have photos of the two of them to show you later on!) we had this awesome shoot!

The forecast predicted rain for the day, but it held off literally until the moment we got back to the car! I think the light turned out beautifully, even without sunshine!

Next post will be of Candice and her boyfriend!
