Portraits | Meghan

Meghan is a very talented competitive jump roper. She's also a beautiful friend of mine, so when she wanted photos of her jump roping, I couldn't say no, and I also couldn't pass up the opportunity to take portraits of her too. It was definitely the most creative shoot I've done thus far.

Portraits | Lisa

So here's my lovely sister. She had her make-up done all fancy that night and had new clothes, so she actually asked me to take photos of her. Believe it, she asked me. So we grabbed a sheet and some lamps for lighting and set up a mini studio and got some great shots! It'll be very convenient to have a studio of my own in the future.

Portraits | Dave

This is long over due, but at least it's finally done!

My good friend is a die hard Canucks fan, so logically we would go to Downtown Vancouver to watch the first Stanley Cup Playoffs game. And it was super exciting! The fan energy was exhilarating, the game was interesting, the crowds were exciting, and we won. No big deal. So with that adrenaline from having our favorite hockey team win the game, we went to the waterfront to take some photos.

Dave is one of those camera shy people. It's not that he's not photogenic or something. He just doesn't know what to do when put in the model position, and he kindly gave me a warning about this before we started shooting. But really, it makes for some great photos, and a lot of photos of him laughing or making absolutely hilarious faces.

Graduation | Gleneagle Secondary Friends

Eating a grilled cheese sandwich while blogging is very difficult... but oh so delicious. It's taken me quite a while, as you can tell, to finally get these photos edited and blogged, but I'm finally checking this one off my list!

These stunning students actually graduated 4 weeks ago. My friend Tina, who I photographed this year, told all her friends about my work and they agreed to give me the honor of being their photographer for their high school graduation prom. So we all planned to meet up at the location, and I didn't even think about what the Canucks game traffic would be like that evening... so the shoot was a lot shorter than I would've liked, but I'm glad we got some great photos out of it.

And if you happen to be very observant, you'll notice my new logo. It was brilliantly designed by my good friend Cory, an aspiring graphic artist.

Praying for sun!

Personal | Macro Monday, updates, and apologies.

Well hello again! It's been a busy few weeks...

Because there's so much that gets done in the Darkroom, it doesn't make sense that the Darkroom is "dark", or pitch black like everyone thinks. This certain amber coloured light - a safe light - is great because the photo paper we photographers print with isn't sensitive to it! That means the photos won't turn out black, but that also means that I can never see anything outside after I've spent 3, or 4, or 8 hours in there.

So because I've had to spend hours and hours in the darkroom doing homework, along with other various activities of importance I haven't been able to post any photos or even make any quick blog notes. My apologies for those who have been waiting almost a month to see my new photos. But I have been hard at work editing those photos, as well as registering for fall university classes and housing, which I'm very excited for!

So thanks to everyone who's been so patient with me. Once I get sorted out again I'll be back on track! Keep an eye out for those photos!

Enjoy life, don't just endure it.

Portraits | Naomi

The first of several very late posts.

Naomi and I are good friends and have similar interests - one of them being photography. Only she kept saying that she doesn't really know how to model, and I, being a positive thinker, say that everyone can model if they have practice. We talked and talked about getting together and taking photos but of course schedules rarely work well together and we never got around to doing it.

While waiting for the birthday girl to arrive to a party we helped plan and decorate for, we realized we had the perfect opportunity to do an impromptu photo shoot. And what a good idea it was!
