Rathtrevor Beach Adventure Family Photoshoot

Windy family session at Parksville’s beautiful Rathtrevor Beach | Parksville & Vancouver Island Family Photographer

Rathtrevor Beach Family Photos It was a pleasure to photograph this sweet family at one of Vancouver Islands popular beaches; Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park of Parksville. A windy Spring day, we shot at golden hour with beautiful light as the sun slowly set behind the Douglas Fir trees. The two sisters were a total riot! Hilarious, they were quite entertaining and showed their true character in the images. I met […]

Piper; Winter Sunset | Parksville & Vancouver Island Wedding Photographer

I photographed beautiful Piper on top of Little Mountain in Parksville last winter. We were waiting for a snowy day to go out and capture some images of her wearing a red sweater. This was her first shoot, and she rocked it! The lighting was amazing, (Golden Hour!) she was relaxed and comfortable with me, and the setting was unreal. This is another one of my favorite places to take […]

Milner Gardens Grad Portrait Session | Parksville & Vancouver Island Wedding Photographer

With graduation approaching for miss Piper, she wanted some pictures of herself in a setting of blossom, color, and tranquility.

If you’ve never been here before, it is absolutely amazing. “Experience the magic of 28 hectares (70 acres) of unspoiled natural beauty perched on the […]

Dancing West Coast Rains | Parksville & Vancouver Island Wedding Photographer

Dancing West Coast Rains On a cold winter day in Parksville, where the rain couldĀ  have been snow if only a couple of degrees cooler, Bethany and I had a little dance session at Rathtrevor Park. No rain jacket for this shoot, just her favorite plaid T-shirt, the one she calls her “camping shirt!” When clients ask me what they should wear, I always tell them to dress in something […]
