I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely family a couple of weeks ago at John Lawson Park.  It was an extremely sunny and warm day for the beginning of October!   This little girl was too cute for words with all her different facial expressions

I had the pleasure of meeting Ben over drinks with my friends Maura and Dan, who also happen to be the founders of Strutta and Bootup Labs.   Ben had just moved to Vancouver from California as the new CEO of Strutta and we had talked about photography a bit, but since it’s wedding season for me, I kinda dropped the ball on setting up a photography session with him … until he reminded me at Launch Party …  We finally got together for this shoot at Dundarave Beach in West Vancouver where the weather was absolutely perfect and despite almost being hit by a train … I think Ben knocked this shoot out of the park!    Thanks Ben for being so easy to photograph and good luck at Strutta, it’s a great bunch!

love True Religion jeans …

And ya can’t photograph a Cali guy without ending at the beach during the sunset …

Every year I donate a portrait/family session to help raise money for some of the local schools in West or North Vancouver.  This beautiful family won the auction for one of those fund raisers … I was so excited to photograph this family at their favorite spot…Radcliff beach.  It was so private and the kids were amazing little troopers and stuck it out for some photos when all they wanted to do was go swimming

This little girl wanted to go swimming so badly …

this one seriously cracks me up!!

and finally what they both have been waiting for so patiently

Every year, my friend asks if I would donate a portrait package for an auction to help raise money for her son’s school in West Vancouver… this lovely family was the winner of that auction.  It was a real hoot photographing this family … the little girl kept posing like a model, loving every minute … the little guy on the other hand, was not in the mood to have his photo taken and tried really hard not to smile for me

 Thank you all for coming out on this extremely bright and windy day.

It’s always fun photographing this family!  I was very happy when Julie called to set up another family shoot, and even more so when I heard her dad and Kaye from P.E.I.  would be in them as well.  I have known this family for many years and it is always great to see Mike when he is in town. 

Mike and Kaye are getting married this June in P.E.I.  You are both such a joy to be around!  We wish you many many years of happiness and love

 xox lots of love, Frannie

It turned out to be a glorious day yesterday afternoon! As I was driving to John Lawson Park in West Vancouver, I couldn’t help but giggle. After having a bought of rain and fog the last few days I was nervous we would have to cancel again…but thankfully the weather turned around!  Thanks everyone for a great photoshoot! You guys are a blast!

A gorgeous sunset to end a beautiful afternoon!!

A few days ago I had the pleasure of photographing one of my favourite families down at Dundarave Beach in West Vancouver. It was hard to narrow it down to a few images to post…I was pretty happy with all of them, and especially this new antique finish…it ROCKS!

Thanks guys for coming out to play…Good luck picking one for your Christmas cards

All time favourite family image!!
