Fun at the Queen’s Cross in North Vancouver | Vancouver Commercial Photographer

My husband and I have always loved watching live bands and hanging out at little pubs.   When we moved from NYC, we were worried we wouldn’t have anything close by … well … stumbling distance from our home is the best pub ever!  The Queen’s Cross is only about 4 blocks away and we frequent often…especially...

Sunny Scooter Day along Lake Ontario | Vancouver Wedding Photographer

My mother loves to tell the story how I was missing for over an hour as a small child at my dad’s shop, and that they had to get the whole body shop looking for me.  I used to love climbing up into the back cabs of the transport trucks and explore…this particular time I ended...

Melanie - Fran,
You’ve beautifully captured all my boys so well. I admire your eye for the essence of the moment, and the images you’ve captured are unforgettable. I can’t wait for the portraits to decorate our new home…both to display your talents, Edan’s piercing blue eyes, Jack truly in his element, and Chris in an everyday moment as the proudest dad around. I am so lucky to have them all in my life, and you as a new friend. Thanks for a special weekend!April 8, 2009 – 1:01 pm
