This little guy here is one my son’s best friends. He is an amazing kid with perfect manners and a heart of gold. It is always a joy having him over for a visit.

An old friend from high school recently mailed two items that had once been keepsakes of mine. One was a “Pixies” pin that my Mom had given me over sixteen years ago, the other was this photograph of me and my Dad taken in 1977. It’s nice to have them back. Thank you, Amber.
Owen played with his cousin at their Grandma’s house in Whonnock, Maple Ridge. Their favorite spot, much to the dismay of Grandma, is a muddy ditch that runs the length of the property. Hours are spent creating dams, floating boats, splashing, and jumping. It’s a great place to be a kid.
Tonight my family participated in Earth Hour. While Owen and I baked a snack (homemade macaroons), Izzy and Christa got the candles ready. For one hour, we turned out all the lights in our house, played Chutes & Ladders, read books, and hung out together. All by candlelight. It was magic. My kids are too...
There is comfort in having friends that without a moment’s notice, will drop what they’re doing and bust out some kung fu. Just awesome! This is one of my best friends. We have known each other since sixth grade. That’s over two decades. Boom! Strobist (2nd image): Nikon SB-800 with 60 inch umbrella camera left,...
My kids always make me smile and today was no exception. I wouldn’t trade this parenting gig for anything in the world.
I put Isabelle in my favorite eyelet dress and had plans to take some photos near the French doors is our house. As I was setting up, Isabelle started singing a soft song while tracing the window panes. I quickly stopped what I was doing and took a few shots. I didn’t nail the exposure,...
I took some headshots for the Surrey Little Theatre and their upcoming play Rabbit Hole. These two shots are of my fabulous Aunt Mary who will be playing the character of “Nat”. Strobist: SB-800 with 50 inch Westcott softbox camera right, reflector camera left for fill, triggered by Cybercync.
We used to fight and bicker as kids when it came to who got to compete in the wishbone contest. I remember many a wishbone breaks ending in tears. My kids think it’s very amusing so we’re keeping with tradition. It’s a little more competitive now because not only does the winner get to make...
All the kids were out in our neighborhood tonight. There was a lot running and yelling, a good old rumpus. My parents came over for a visit and I took this photo of Ms. Belle and her Grandma Susan. Two peas in a pod. Add me, and you would have three. Good night and thank...
I promised not to pull any photos from the archives but I figured that as long as I posted one new image each day, it would all be “A” okay. The first image is of the late, but great, Johnny Galick. He used to make me laugh a lot and I would kindly return the...
