Miss Payton - Mommy and Daddy's little fighter!

I have a good friend that I practically grew up with. Her and her hubby have a little boy who's almost 3, and their newest addition, Payton! She's a little big girl and is such a fighter :) She spent 77 days in the NICU due to being premature and has now been home for approximately a week with her mommy, daddy and proud big brother (she's his baby, ya know? hehe). She was diagnosed with chronic lung disease as well, but it's said that she will grow out of that by the time she's about 5 years of age. She's such a beautiful little princess and such a pleasure to photograph! And, wow! She's so small (approximately 6lbs) with a big personality :)

After everything they've gone through with having to go back and forth to Children's Hopsital, among two other hospitals and the hard times (that are quite obviously followed by the good times!!!!) - As my gift, I offered them a free photo session. This is my welcome home gift to Miss Payton and her parents! Congratulations Amanda & William, she's such a precious little doll. :)

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make me a match ~ Engagement Photo Session - Chilliwack Wedding Photographer

So, a story originates as a personal tie with this wonderful couple... I've known Pat (the Groom to be) for a long time, something like 9 or so years? I met Angela (The Bride to be) recently (but not TOO recently ;) hehe) through a mutual friend (Chelsea) and became fast friends... Shortly after we (Chelsea & I) decided to play match-maker and set Pat and Angela up <3 style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">

Fast forward to recent/now: Pat proposed on New Years eve to the love of his life, Angela! They are now set to be married on July 10th, 2010... Congratulations again you two, I are so happy for you guys!!!

Okay, so NOW fast forward to now, like today now (hehe):
Today I did their engagement photographs and I am also going to be photographing their wedding! I am so excited! We had a lot of fun today! Here's a few sneak peaks!!!

Enjoy!

Home Based LOVE

I was at a kids Christmas party with my kids a few days ago and just for the fun of it took pictures, I wasn't looking to sell, and even offered to take Santa pictures for a Mom or two.  Anyways, one of the ladies is in the midst of adopting two beautiful little girls and she just loved the pictures I took and asked if she could write about me and of course I didn't decline..  She posted a note on her facebook and this is what she wrote:

Home Based LOVE

Today at 8:43pm

I was at a kids Xmas Party and the girls had a blast.  Sitting so quietly was this woman holding a child.  Whom was taking shots of the whole event.  She would be smiling away then into action she went.  The camera in her hand seemed to come alive.  Later while chatting with her I found out a few things about this quiet lady.  That her love for taking pictures was a side line to her being a full time mom.  Later I had the pleasure of seeing her handy work via email.  Fawn is her name and I think she has a talent with children and getting that most perfect picture while having fun.  Check out her site.
