celebrating jen's belly

The 'Freshies' just couldn't wait for Baby Visser to arrive before we started celebrating his life. So, we turned one of our usual weekday evening coffee dates into a surprise mini baby shower for Jen.

Baby boy Mathias joined the world early January. Photos of this special little guy are sure to come.

jackson turns one

Best buddies with smoothie Austin, we first met Jackson Roc when he was chillin' in the womb. I thought this cake smash shoot would be a breeze; what child doesn't want to attack a cake? Too-cool-for-school Jackson, that's who. Next shoot with this guy will be with him rocking adidas in a graffitied back alley.

 

joanna + phil = married

I have a new found respect for wedding photographers. After 12 hours of chasing moments around + yelling at people to smile, I was pretty beat. Much gratitude to Joanna + Phil for inviting me to be a part of their special day + an extra large thank you to my sister for being my other hand.

Read about how Joanna planned her wedding from Toronto on the Real Weddings blog.

Coming soon: the reception.

 

pho makes me happy

I can always think of a good reason to have pho. Rainy day? Pho. Hungover? Pho. Broke + hungry? Pho. Sunny day? Pho. Just because? Pho.

The pho below is from east-van-classic Bao Chau. They serve a wicked spring roll, too.
