I got to know Sara Maric, the owner of Simply Indulge Spa, when my skin started to rebel after I turned 30. She carries an amazing, organic skin care line called Eminence that she uses to calm down my skin.

She offers mobile services and does a lot of parties for anything from Princess birthday parties to wedding parties to office get togethers. My brother and sister-in-law from Triple I Web Solutions recently tweaked her website and she wanted some new photos on it so we met up to create some new photos for it. Here are a few favorites ….

One of the best parts of our job is getting to meet so many interesting people and hearing stories of where they have been and where they are going with their lives. We have photographed Carrie’s sons before and she came back this summer to get some portraits of herself done to capsulize how she looks at this point in her life.

I’m sure one day her grandkids will looks back at them and try to imagine what she was like and compare if they look at all like her. I’ve done the same with pictures of grandparents and find old portraits to be a treasured part of my heritage. Here are a few of Carrie …

We recently did lifestyle photography for PJzzzz new pajamas. Krisztina has used us for several years and this year she has expanded her line to include some short sleeved. We especially enjoyed her session as she supplied her experienced models (two of which were our kids) with highly motivational candy and we used her beautiful back yard as the location.

Here are a few favorites …

Thanks to Twitter, Jason was able to hook up with Amber Hughes of Amber Hughes Photography recently when she needed a 2nd shooter on very short notice. Jason went out to Granville Island and the Sun Yat-Sen Garden for Doris + Trevor’s wedding. Here are a few of Jason’s favorites …

We love it when families come up with fun ideas for their portrait sessions. When Jackie suggested we meet at a skate park we knew it was going to be a creative session. Despite it being the coldest morning of the summer, the kids did great and we have a ton of great pictures to show them. Here are a few of our favorites …

We were excited to meet baby Hudson as we have been doing photography of his sister for several years and did his Mommy’s maternity pictures earlier this summer. He came to our studio and seemed to enjoy having his picture taken as he didn’t fuss the entire time. Here are a few of our favorites …

Corinna was one of Jason’s original muses when he was getting his feet wet with photographing people. I remember a session we did of her around the time she graduated. Jason hand printed the pictures and then we even hand coloured a few of the black and white prints for fun. They’re still in one of our many piles of early photographs but unfortunately there aren’t any online that I can link to as it was the pre-digital era.

So much has changed since then. Corinna’s now married to Andrew and they teach English in China. They were in Canada for a bit this summer so we met up to do some photos of them in New Westminster. It’s great hanging around them as they have interesting stories of tell, insightful questions and share the excitement of business dreams.

Here are a few of our favorites from their recent session …

We recently did lifestyle photographs for Mally Bibs 2010 collection. Mally Bibs is located in Abbotsford where they design and create leather bibs that make keeping your child clean + stylish while eating a breeze. All you do is run them under the tap to wash off the meal time mess.

The designs are adorable and we look forward to seeing what new designs Nicole comes up with each year. This year we enjoyed working with some familiar models in a variety of local locations. Here are a few favorites …

Matthew’s House is a residence that provides long term respite care for children and adolescents who live with a significant disability. At the same time, families are offered support and encouragement on their journey.

After years of planning, exciting things are starting to happen and we were honored to be asked to create some photographs that captured Matthew and the peacefulness of the setting. Here’s a sneak peak at a few of the photographs …

Ella + Oak are part of our coveted Lifetime Portrait Club which has turned exclusive and is no longer accepting members. We think of Lifetime Portrait Club members are extra special because they are some of our original clients who believed in us before we were cool to go to for photography.

Ella + Oak met Jason in a field in Abbotsford for some relaxed, fun portraits. It was Oak’s first session with us and here are some pics from Ella’s first session. They were little hams and Xander, our son, got to assist Jason by making faces for the kids. Here are a few of our favorites …
