VICTORIA BC
Living in Victoria we’re fortunate to have beaches, forests and small summits for easily accessible adventures. One of our favourite places to explore is PKOLS (Mt. Douglas Park). Before heading up for our hike we stopped at the Saanich Bike Festival where the kids got their faces painted. Then we biked over to Mt. Douglas Park. […]
April Showers bring…. May showers? It has been a very wet spring! But rain or shine, I’ve been shooting daily. My Life Captured 365 project and my One Second Everyday videos keep me on track with shooting, even if I don’t always keep up quite as well with editing and posting. It can feel a […]
It’s finally Spring in Victoria! April was full of flowers, showers, and even some sunshine. We celebrated Easter and enjoyed playing outdoors. We’re looking forward to more sunshine and more adventures as Spring continues to blossom. I’ve been recording at least a second every day since January 2015. Read all about this One Second Everyday project, […]
Classic children’s literature is one of my passions and when I can combine that love with photography, it’s a magical thing. Gracie and I read The Secret Garden last year and decided that we’d do a special photoshoot based on the book this spring. We love planning character shoots as a creative activity together. […]
March, and Spring at last! We usually start our spring a few weeks earlier here in Victoria. But this year we weren’t bragging about flowers in February or beach days in March. Our cold weather turned to wet weather and the blossoms reluctantly bloomed around the first day of spring. This was the dreariest […]
I can’t believe March is over already! March is a fun month for us with Spring Break the last two weeks and Thomas’ Birthday on the 28th. We took a trip to Mt. Washington at the beginning of the break. For most of March we tried to enjoy the warmer weather, although it rained almost […]
February was such a wonderful month for photos that it was overwhelming to try to choose my favourite ones. We had snow in Victoria which is rare and amazing. We also had some sunny days; winter sunshine can be the best light. I was thrilled to be able to do our Narnia Character Shoot on one […]
During spring break we spent a couple of days up at Mt. Washington. Sean and I used to go up with friends when we were in university, but we had never taken the kids. We’re not especially experienced skiers or snowboarders, so anytime we head up to the mountains it’s mostly just to play in the snow. […]
This winter we’ve been making it a priority to get outdoors and explore as often as possible. We’ve been getting out once or twice every week even in the cold, snow and rain. And believe me, no one hates being cold more than I do! I don’t drive so we usually get around by bike. In […]
I ask my kids to participate in a lot of photo shoots. Usually it’s as simple as wearing a particular item of clothing to a specific location (I love styled shoots). Generally they don’t have to do much actual modeling, they just need to be themselves and I do the rest. Usually I have a vision and […]
