I had a session with Sabra MacGillivray during the week of Celtic Colours. She was needing some promotional photos for her upcoming instructional dance dvd, so we met at Little River in between shows and festival clubbing! It was absolutely freezing around the wharf with the wind cutting right through us, but Sabra made it look like a balmy day! Sabra and I go way back and used to spend summers teaching together at the Gaelic College, and even spent a few weeks as roommates in one of the super-haunted dorm rooms. She’s a lovely highland dancer and stepdancer, as well as a Registered Massage Therapist/business owner at Celtic Touch Day Spa…make sure to stop by on your next visit to Cregnish! Sabra’s fisherman husband Iain came along for the session so we managed to tear him away from visiting the fishermen on their boats and in a few photos.

A few images from a session with The Worry Birds at York Redoubt in Halifax, NS. Band members Zach Smith, Adelle Meagher, and Bhreagh MacDonald were so much fun during this shoot and kept park visitors entertained with their tunes. They’ll be working on their album during 2012, so keep your eyes peeled for the release!

Just back in Victoria after wrapping up the last wedding of 2011. Travis and Kate’s wedding at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Washington was the icing on the cake! Here’s a sneak peek of a few images before we kick off the holiday season with a full post from their big day to come in the New Year. Congratulations Travis and Kate!! I had a blast and so many laughs!

The annual family portrait session with the Magees has come and gone. I had to wait until now to post the photos since they are always passed out as Christmas gifts from the Magees to the rest of the family. I spent Christmas Eve with Kendyl and Callum dancing, counting elves,and decorating imaginary Christmas trees during the family get together. They are such clever kids and make me laugh my head off…not to mention it’s nice to have a few people around who humour my crazy imagination.

I made a trip out to the Ross Family home to finish off our session. December can be a bit chilly for portrait sessions, so we stuck indoors for a little bit. I believe it was my fifth or sixth session with the Ross family, and each time we meet up it’s a treat!
