CrackBerry: you know you're a dork when...

I have indulged myself in the world of convenience that is blackberry ownership recently. Expensive data plans and constant beeping of the silly devices aside I am in love! The convenience of always being able to check my e-mail, carrying around my own little GPS, and music and images is second to none.

I love it, Kat hates it... Though I've caught her playing the odd game on it and browsing YouTube



To voice her opinions in a clever and well, fun way, she wrote me a little sonnet. Enjoy...


I’ ve Lost My Loved-One To a Blackberry

You are such a boy; so indulged in your temporary gadgets.
Its deep black color, its shiny new body; it fits perfectly in your hands,
I understand your need for instant gratification, the need to be connected, it’s magic!
But you are so mystified, so concentrated, beads of sweat seep through your glands,
As you are motionless except for your fingers moving across its touch sensitive screen.
Your eyes so undivided, and an occasional eyebrow twitch –
Oh, dear! I’ ve made you dinner and dessert – your favorite – haven’t you seen?
No you haven’t, too engaged to even notice if I change into a supermodel, or a witch.
Do you not notice the meal in front of you I made for you?
No appreciation, no gratefulness, hell, not even a mere “…yeah, thanks…�!
You’ ve been taken over, submerged into a world of IM ’s, no time for neither me nor our cat Clou .
I’ ve lost the battle to this thin rectangular thing, this isn ’t a prank,
It is obvious that I have been replaced by this so-called Blackberry
From which now on is what I referred to as a Crackberry .

Thanks for reading!

Kevin & April: 216th St. Creatives followed by candle light Ceremony

What a day, we clicked with this crew from the first shot. The whole day we couldn't stop laughing, smiling and just having a total blast. Kevin and April are such a cute pair, from their wedding party's black and white coordinated Converse shoes to their tagged getaway cars, everything was totally them.

We did all the creatives along 216th in Langley; first this cool grain station... ummm ahh... thing...

A jumping shot.... cause they're fun!


The absolutely stunning April!

Their crew on the back of a nearby train...



A Few Details.


A few more...

Getting the boys to stand still for this series wasn't easy!

A sweet intimate portrait.


Playing with the sun...

Down the street there is this awesome old Texco station. And another jumping shot, cause they really are fun....



Further down 216th we made our way to the Langley Airport and got to use a 1930's DC-3 for this classic, nostalgic series.

Love this infrared one,


this IR one too.



April had no problem at all getting around wearing these kicks, no 3 inch heels here.



We especially liked this clever camouflage technique, same colour as champagne!


Taste testing the cake, caught you!


First dance together...


Party Time!
Some PhotoBooth Favorites

Kids are always fun!

Congrats you two,
It was truly an honor to be a part of your wedding.

Best

Kerry & Jamie: Valentine's Day Engagement

Isn't he just the cutest pup ever, and so well behaved too... Kerry & Jamie are pretty awesome too. We made full use of last Saturday's beautiful weather to capture this e-session for these two on Granville Island.



They're so much FUN!!! We just loved their energy.



Snuggle snuggle...

Okay, so if no one has guessed we were rockin the 85mm Shift Lens A LOT on this one! It's a new favorite.

Nothing like a sweet portrait of two people in love.




Last one to end the day. Thanks you two for a fantastic shoot.

Best
