with every new year comes new beginnings. and in 2012, i will implementing many new things into my business, like offering new products to my clients. i want something fun and different. and i have found the perfect thing! take a look at these frames! they are whimsical and fun while being elegant and vintage all at the same time! and the BEST part is that they are locally owned and manufactured right here in the cowichan valley!

these frames are perfect for your portrait, wedding and RAD GRAD photos. they come in a variety of colours too. try the chalk board or white board inserts instead of a photo and they become a unique message board perfect for any home. i am so pleased to be offering these to my clients!

sisters | shawnigan lake portraits

i’m a tad bit behind in my blogging…. same old story, i know! busy times. busy kids. busy schedules. that seems to be the “norm” around here lately. but my motto is that it’s never too late to blog a session. so here are a few favorites from a sisters session i did back in the fall. these girls were so comfortable in front of my camera. and we were thrilled when the sun came out to join us for their afternoon fall portrait session.

i’ve been busy shooting lots of beautiful boudoir sessions and have been given permission to share a few of them so keep an eye out on the boudoir blog for those sneak peeks.

happy new year.

happy new year my friends!

it’s 2012. a new year. with new beginnings, fun adventures, and a fresh outlook on everything.

it’s been over a month since i’ve posted anything new on this blog but i’m happy to be back. i decided back in december that i needed to take a bit of time away from kp photography and from my computer during the holidays and spend that time to just focus on my family. 2011 was a very tough year for me personally (i’ll post more on that later) but i am excited about what 2012 has in store. i’m excited to be photographing a few weddings again this year, as well as focusing more on Boudoir and RAD GRAD portraits too!

and what’s a post without a photo! here’s jake, thinking about how AWESOME it would be, to be outside chasing the cat he’s staring at through the window. dream on jake! dream on!

four people twelve times | movember edition

kp — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 17:00:09 +0000

when one of the four people is out of the country for most of the month of november, you must resort to creative measures for getting the job done. i thought up this photo concept one night while i was lying in bed… pouting and feeling disappointed that i was most likely going to miss another month of my little project because derek was away for most of november and we didn’t get a chance to take a photo before he left.

i am so thankful for skype!

and movember! we strapped a cardboard mustache onto the laptop monitor and set the self timer on the camera. what fun!

i couldn’t decide on just one so i here are my favorites.

life has once again gotten in the way of my little project. between fall family sessions, designing wedding albums, prepping and representing RAD GRAD at the Cowichan Prom Fair, my hubby traveling back and forth to England for his work, all the kids extra-circular activities and just being a Mom… I just haven’t had time to blog much less take a photo for myself.

so, i’m totally cheating on this one. we took this back in september. not sure why the guys aren’t smiling but i love it anyway.

i’m looking forward to taking and sharing our next four people twelve times photo. i love when i can pre-visualize it in my mind.

kate & jeff | just married!

kp — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 23:04:36 +0000

i first met kate and jeff back in january of this year. they were both leaders at the the times colonist 10k training clinic that derek and i took part in. kate was part of my group on our very first training day and that’s when we realized we had already connected. you see, liss, my 2010 RAD GRAD rep, is jeff’s daughter! small world! i was beyond thrilled when kate contacted me about photographing their wedding on october 1st… my birthday!

their wedding took place at the beautiful quamichan inn. they celebrated their love and commitment to each other in an intimate, outdoor ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends. it was a perfect day!

congratulations kate & jeff! i wish you many years of joy and happiness!

it was wonderful to see liss again and to finally meet her younger sister megan! you girls looked so stunning! i will hopefully get to work with megan again soon as she is thinking of becoming a RAD GRAD rep this year.
