jamie {head shots}

This beautiful young woman has a dream. Never mind that she is a full time mom of two pre-schoolers; forget the fact that she is almost 6 months pregnant with her third baby. I only met Jamie last year, but I know already that she is a woman of passion, drive and soul. Her dream is to act; to perform, and she is taking the steps to get there. As part of getting started in local theatre, she asked if I could take some head shots for her. Of course,  I agreed....the woman has a gorgeous head :)
Jamie, you are an inspiration...I love that you are going for it! I love that you are not getting stuck in the trenches of motherhood, but being true to yourself as well - whatever the pace and path.
Be assured...the night of your first performance, I will be there.

avisar {corporate}

It's almost that season again....tax season! Meet some of the friendly faces of Avisar Chartered Accountants. Last week, I had the opportunity to take some updated head shots at this office in Langley, BC. And let me tell you something....accountants are very fun people! I was greeted with warmth and and made to feel totally at home throughout the session. The environment is obviously professional and well established; combine that with genuine personalities and senses of humour, and it seems like a great place to work...or take your business!

global heartbeat 2010 {event}

This post is exciting for me, both professionally and personally. This was my first official, "big" event to shoot and it was no small affair (hello...the mayor attended!!!!). The reason it has a personal interest to me is that this evening was a fundraiser for Hunger Response International. My friend Lorri Sawatsky (pictured below) is a woman that is passionate about her ministry. The theme this year for the event was "Give me your eyes..." This is totally reflective of Lorri's vision:  teaching children + others to change the way they look at the world - through the eyes of Jesus! The people involved in this organization genuinely yearn to bring about change to countries that are so much less fortunate than our own. I highly urge you to check out the link to her website; go to the "about" section and watch the video there. The effect that this mission has had and continues to have, globally, gave me goosebumps as I watched. 

Lorri - it was an inspiration to see a glimpse of what you do, and it was an honor to be invited to photograph such a fantastic event. Blessings to you as you travel to Ethiopa...now those will be some pictures to see!
