Jason met the Jones family recently at the Crescent Beach in South Surrey recently for some casual family portraits. The light was beautiful and they were dressed wonderfully to compliment each other and the surroundings. I like how you can catch a glimpse of each boy’s personality in their photographs. Here are a few favorites ….
Matthew Macleod Froese
October 11, 2000 – August 14, 2010
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint.”
~Isaiah 40:31
We look forward to seeing Matthew run and hear him tell his family how much he loves them one day in heaven. He is Darcie’s cousin’s oldest child and we have photographed him several times. We would capture the best expressions from him when he was surrounded by his parents and children.
He touched many lives and has inspired Matthew’s House, a respite home in Abbotsford for children with severe disabilities. His memorial service is at 2:00 on Friday, August 20th at Central Heights Church in Abbotsford.
Here is an article about Matthew and his family that was in the Abbotsford News this week.
The Goddess Movement keeps adding great new classes to their repertoire. Some of the latest are their Aerial Hoop classes. I tried a class earlier in the summer and thoroughly enjoyed it despite my tendency to shy away from any activities that involve being more than 2 feet off the ground. The instructor, Lyndsey, has been studyied Aerial Hoop in Vancouver and has put together a great program. We recently went there to create some photographs with impact for the studio to use with their marketing materials. Here are a few favorites …
Their schedule for classes starting in September just came out yesterday. I don’t think it’s online yet but you can always call or email their office for more information.
Denise Lafortune at the Lower Mainland Academy of Classical Ballet in Abbotsford has developed some amazing dancers in her studio. She has a way of fostering a love of dance while remaining dedicated to technical excellence. Lexi is looking forward to beginning ballet at her studio this fall. Here are some photographs of her dancers that we did this year …
Sometimes I feel like half of my blog posts use all the old lines that used to make me feel like rolling my eyes when I was a kid. Two of those that I just have to use again for Kyrah are “she’s so cute” and “she’s growing up so quickly”. Now that I’ve got that out of my system I guess that officially makes me one of Those Adults now.
We think it’s a great tradition that Kyrah gets to come for her very, own portrait session every year and then has her updated portraits displayed in her home until her next birthday session. It’s an occasion that she looks forward to and we do as well. Here are a few of our favorites from her 2010 session …
The Ens family was all in town this summer so they decided that it was time for an updated family portrait. It poured rain a few minutes before their session but then stopped and cleared up by the time the session was over. Grandpa Ens brought his old car and it worked perfectly in the setting. Here are a few of our favorites …
Peyton came recently for Imagine Kids session and met Jason at the Eagle Mountain Park up the road from our studio. She’s grown up a lot since her first mini-session with us when she was six months old. Pretty soon she’s going to be a big sister! Here are a few favorites from her session …
We have always enjoyed working with Michelle on projects at Domain7 where she is an awesome designer. Most people find it difficult to verbally describe something they want to visually create. Michelle always finds a way. So it was fun working with her to come up with a look and feel for her maternity session. Everything came together beautifully and here are a few of our favorites ….
Kaylee comes to see us every year for her birthday portrait session. So far she’s always worn a red dress which is great for doing portraits with. Red is a colour that pops in photographs and Kaylee has enough personality to pull it off. She had lots of smiles for us this year and here are a few of our favorites ….

Sydney had some great ideas for her Imagine Kids portrait session. She wanted it at her home with the pillars on the front porch. So Jason went there and started with that and then found quite a few other places at her home that were perfect for photography. Here are a few favorites ….
