Carol – Victoria Maternity Photography

elaine — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:37:12 +0000

Dylan and I met Tim & Carol half was across the world on a slow boat up the Mekong River in Laos. Turns out they lived a 1.5 hour ferry ride away from us! We ended up travelling together for the next month and a half through Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.

Tim and Carol were backpacking SE Asia for their honeymoon, Dylan and I became engaged in SE Asia - it was pretty much meant to be.

Tim & Carol are having their first baby, and I can’t wait to meet him/her!

I headed out to Victoria the last weekend of March to visit before the baby is born and to take some beautiful maternity photos:

They are going to make one beautiful family!

I had such a wonderful time photographing Geah & Elle. Elle is such a sweet baby, and she was so happy the entire time!

Here are a few photos from our session.

The wonderful Emily Cheng did Geah’s Make Up, hair and styling.

And thanks Geah for the delicious homemade Banana muffins!!

Candice & Joe – Vancouver Engagement Photography

elaine — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 04:11:29 +0000

You might recognize Candice from a previous portrait session we did together. You might also recognize Joe, because he made an unexpected (to him) appearance in that same session.

Back then, they were boyfriend and girlfriend. This time, they were in front of my camera as a newly engaged couple.

We met in Stanley Park on a rather chilly & cloudy evening, but the light was oh-so-beautiful (as was the couple!)

Here are a few of my favourites…

Extras & Behind the Scenes

During Kristie & Keith’s garden shoot my fiance, Dylan, was lending a hand with whatever help I needed. It’s always nice to have him at shoots when I can, he’s always making everyone laugh, ready to lift or move anything heavy, and of course, most importantly be a coat & purse rack.

This time I gave him my backup camera, and let him take some behind the scenes photos, which I’ve never had before! It’s, umm…interesting to see the strange positions I can work myself into to get certain shots!

Anyhow, I chose the least ridiculous ones to share with you, along with a few shots we took around the neighbourhood of Kristie and Keith while we were waiting for the light to be perfect in our garden location.

And a couple behind the scenes (thanks dylan!)

Spring Is Here

Does it get much sweeter than this? A couple in love, A spring garden…Hmm, nope, I think this is just about as sweet as it gets!

You’re awesome, Kristie & Keith!

Sharlene Portraits – Vancouver Portrait Photography

I’m sure by now you all have seen the wonderfully romantic bridal collection by Anthropologie, B H L D N . These gowns are vintage, they’re ruffly, and o-so-romantic. I also love the bridesmaids dresses. Here’s hoping I get to photograph one of my brides in one of these fabulous gowns!

As promised, here are some more photos from my session with Sharlene:

Have a happy weekend everyone!

The wet, cold, winter weather makes scheduling outdoor shoots much more difficult. Sharlene and I rescheduled twice before we got this absolutely beautiful day to shoot!

In any case, I think the photos turned out beautifully, and I’m excited to show this little sneak peek!

More to come soon!
