photobooth fun :: victoria wedding photography

if you’ve ever been to a wedding reception or social gathering with a photobooth, then you already know how much fun it can be.

if you haven’t – then you need to know that having a photobooth at your wedding reception or social gathering is the best entertainment and so much fun! the photobooth captures the exciting atmosphere of the occasion, creating lifelong memories of one of the best parties of your life! it’s such a blast to be able to look back through the photographs and remember the friendly rivalry between siblings while trying to make the goofiest face or seeing all twelve of your highschool buddies try to fit into a small space for the picture. seeing your friends and relatives enjoying your celebration is priceless!

i began offering photobooths as an add-on to my wedding collections last year and i’m happy to say that i am continuing that service again this year. so if you’d like to book a photobooth for your wedding reception or your social function, please contact me via email at info(at)kpphotography(dot)ca. you supply the props – i capture the photobooth memories!

you’ll never know how much fun it is until you book one!

beautiful ballerina | victoria portrait photographer

kp — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:00:57 +0000

one of the things that i enjoy so much as a photographer is photographing the dancers every year at my daughters dance school. i capture casual portraits of the dancers throughout the year and produce a slideshow that is played after the intermission during their end of year performance. it’s become a favorite highlight of the show!

every year, i always have a favorite portrait (or two or three or twelve!). this is my favorite from this year.

last week, the dancer in the middle came to my studio and we captured some amazing portraits of her. she’s a beautiful ballerina!

you can view the slideshow on my facebook page. this years performance was Around the World, so we started with Canada.

one of the groups i photographed were the performers at brentwood college school. they were getting ready for their annual dance performance which took place last weekend. congratulations to all the brentwood performers for receiving several prestigious awards this year.

cobble hill fall fair

kp — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:30:09 +0000

i can remember when i was a kid, how i used to love the first week of back to school because it always meant that the fall hants county exhibition was just around the corner. and it also meant that i was going to be entering all my 4-h projects from the year into the exhibition to compete with all the other kids entering similar projects. and i always secretly hoped that i would get a first place ribbon on my entries but a second or third place was cool too. just not as cool as the first place one. it also meant that i was “legally” allowed to skip out on school the first day of the exhibition because of my 4-h commitment. THAT was the coolest and best part. that along with the cotton candy, the midway and all the other fun stuff that a fall country fair holds.

this year, my kids were excited for the cobble hill fair. while they aren’t enrolled in 4-h, they are still able to enter projects into any categories that they wish to. emily was very excited and committed, entering 3 items (cookies, a beaded necklace and a scarf – all hand made by her) and the bike parade. tyler was only interested in the bike parade. as we headed off saturday morning, i was flooded with memories of my fall fair days as a kid. so much fun! such great memories!

here are some of our memories from the 100th cobble hill fair.

(images from left to right) ROW 1: tyler and his canadian bike; canadian flag on ty’s bike; emily’s bcspca bike; bicycle tire; ROW 2: bag pipers leading bike parade; opening speeches; patiently waiting for speeches to end; flower exhibit; ROW 3: amazing food art – cucumber shark; vegetable exhibit; incredible edible art; best in class ribbon; ROW4 : way-finding signage; beautiful dahlias; emily’s cookies with the first place ribbon; apple exhibit.

NOTE: emily’s beaded necklace placed third and her scarf received an honourable mention. both kids received ribbons for their bicycle decor.
