Sunrise Past Sunset

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of hanging out with Colton & his parents for a “Family Day Out Experience” in Gastown. Considering we live in Vancouver – the weather is as predictable as NOTHING ELSE in the Entire World. Seriously – weather in BC is sunny, hot, raining, cold, humid, snowing, sleeting, windy, freezing – and thats just on one day!

So when our morning finally arrived – I was thrilled to see the icy wind part the clouds and shatter our dreary day with a perfect sunrise! I hit downtown before everyone arrived to get a good parking spot, scope out the location (previously scouted but you never know when something changes), and just relax a little.

Here are some incredible shadows I caught from the bridge going from Main Street over to the park and a Vancouver Skyline with the nosiy railyard.

I love this sculpture – he was still engulfed by the icy-shadows when I arrived but a bit of fill-flash brought out the details! I like how he is about to eat Vancouver.

Some days I drive, some days I skytrain to Vancouver – just depending on the assignment I have. Waiting at the Skytrain for a ride home – I caught some gorgeous reflections in the late night rain.

Surrey Skytrain Gateway Station

Here I am waiting for the skytrain to pass. Its the Gateway skytrain station and I know this area receives alot of bad press for the less than stellar activities that occur here (the heart of Whalley), but, just like wandering around Hastings & Main, I never felt out of place,  threatened (ie all my camera equipement) or uncomfortable.  One day I will tell you a Tale of Melacca!

Family Day Out Experience - Relaxed Family Photography in Cool Locations

Dear February – I had so many plans for you that included – basically – nothing but the quiet, contemplative, structured review of my income, but overwhelmingly, my expenses from last year. A slow, slip-by-slip of paper receipts, scribbled & scrawled on, invoices with giant, red PAID stamps, and my trusty excel spreadsheets. But alas…..

The best part of any Corporate Event is getting paid to eat!

Food, Live Music, Dancing - Im always on the Guest List!

 

Its not even Valentines day (as if that matters to my calendar-deficient hubby), and I still havent done anything tax related! I know the tax man doesnt care about headshots, birthday-suited babies, family adventures, or corporate functions – but ive been so busy with all these fun projects these last – uh – I want to say couple of weeks – few days – and more is on its way…that Ive neglected my tax-time duties.

Soft, Snugly, Babies...I get to kiss & hold them...pass them back when they cry

Yes I know – its all good – I love the photography, I love the editing, I love getting my customers out of their comfort zone & showing them the other side to their natural beauty…

But still – it wont count for points when March 31st comes around and the HST form is late. Oh well – I guess there are plenty of hours between bedtime & the morning alarm. In the meantime, here are a few snaps from the last few sessions!

Twins - double the kisses - double the fun!

But if you see the tax man coming my way – please invite him over for tea so I have a few extra seconds to prepare my books! I wont panic yet, because ive got some really exciting projects for the rest of this week.

I wont panic yet.

Nope.

Not one little bit.

 

Ok – maybe a little.
