Married: Jenn & Tyson

Simone — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:00:20 +0000

Second blog of the week. I’m on a roll!! Jenn and Tyson’s wedding is special to me because the first time I met Jenn was when she was a tween. Jenn and her cousin briefly attended the youth group Carson used to be a pastor at many many years ago. We had lost touch after [...]

Married: Fiorella & Joel

Simone — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:31:13 +0000

Phew! I am finally seeing the end of the tunnel and that means I can start blogging again. I’m so behind on blogging that I will just get right to it. Fiorella and Joel were such a pleasure to photograph. Fio and Joel are such a sweet couple and had such great friends and family [...]

News!

Simone — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 23:30:07 +0000

Hey everyone, so yesterday on Facebook and Twitter I announced that I had some excited news to share. Finally, I can share it with you all. I’ve decided to branch out into a different field of photography. I’ll still be doing weddings and family portraits but only taking a limited amount throughout the year. I [...]

She wants proof

Simone — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 05:32:38 +0000

Tonight right before dinner Journee lost a tooth. She was so excited because as soon as Carson pulled that tooth out I know she heard “ka-ching ka-ching” (that the sound of money, in case you didn’t know). So it was no surprise that right before bed she proceeded to write a letter to the tooth [...]

Married: Savery and Brett

Simone — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 05:25:10 +0000

Meet Savery and Brett. They got married a few weeks ago at the beautiful Walnut Beach Resort in Osyoos. When Daniela and I first met Savery and Brett a few days before the wedding to scope out locations for their big day. They definitely made my job easy as I’m not too familiar with Osoyoos [...]

Elysium Gardens Wedding: Melanie & Jeremy

Simone — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:45:57 +0000

Melanie and Jeremy were married at the beautiful grounds of Elysium Gardens a couple weeks ago. The week following up to their wedding we had a lot of rain and grey skies so it was a nice surprise to wake up Saturday morning to blue skies. It was even more shocking that it felt more [...]

Laisa: Kelowna Grad Portraits

Simone — Wed, 26 May 2010 04:42:24 +0000

Laisa is graduating this year and is heading off to the island for university in the fall. So what better way to mark this major milestone-do a photo session. I wish I had done something like this when I graduated from highschool. Daniela asked me to join her to photograph Laisa’s grad photos last weekend [...]

Married: Roxanne & Sean

Simone — Sun, 16 May 2010 05:46:36 +0000

Last weekend I was the second shooter for Elizabeth Soergel. I was honoured to be working with Elizabeth as I’ve been following her work since I’ve moved to Kelowna 3yrs ago and decided to make the jump into wedding photography. I instantly liked her after meeting at a photographer’s Christmas Party and hoped that we [...]

Maternity: Miriam

Simone — Thu, 06 May 2010 04:40:46 +0000

Last Sunday my good friend Daniela asked me if I wanted to shoot maternity session with her. Maternity sessions are not something I do a lot of but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to get out and shoot especially when you have a beautiful momma-to-be like Miriam. Rob you’re not too bad yourself. ;) Although [...]

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Simone — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 04:04:31 +0000

Yes, I know it’s a cheesy title but I just had to. ;) Having 3 girls with 3 different hair textures has proved 2 things to me. 1. I spend a lot of money on hair products testing out which one works best on which girl. 2. I need to buy stock in hair products. [...]

Engaged: Michelle & Mark

Simone — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 22:01:59 +0000

A Weekend in Vancouver

Simone — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 23:22:17 +0000

A few weekends ago I went to Vancouver to attend PPABC’s 2nd annual Image Quest. It was a great weekend where I got to hear inspirational photographers such as Dale Sanders, Dane Sanders (no relation to Dale), Jasmine Star, Mitch Graf and Blue Olive. Dane Sanders was great for renewing my passion. I was brought [...]

Christmas Card: Behind the Scenes

Simone — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:21:58 +0000

*Update* I want to thank all of you who e-mailed me your concern and kind words after my last post. I really didn’t mean for it to be such a downer. I just wanted to be honest about how I was feeling but probably should have conveyed that I am doing well despite the crappy [...]

Me…honestly

Simone — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 21:20:28 +0000

I have to be honest. I didn’t start the new year on a good foot. I was in a bit of a funk and if truth be told I still have some funk-y kinda days. There are quite a few reasons why I think I have good and bad days but I won’t bore with [...]

These are a few of my favorite things

Simone — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 06:58:50 +0000

Well not things, people. Images actually. Images of some of the wonderful clients I had in ’09. I debated posting a 2009 faves list. It seems like the thing photographers do at every years end or beginning but I guess I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon and join in. Most of these you’ve seen [...]
