Some of my favourite images from my collaborative shoot for Coral and Cloud's new Spring line of handpainted necklaces and bracelets!
Spring Break is on the horizon and I am opening the doors once again for your young creatives. I've got some fun ideas brewing and look forward to working hands-on with some like-minded artsy crafty kids!
Trying to keep the momentum going with a few projects from 2016!
Last summer, I joined forces with local Vancouverite and Mompreneur Miko from Coral and Cloud to shoot her Fall Line of modern geometric handpainted jewellry. The afternoon session included portraits of kids with the new line for the store portion of her website, delicious carrot and cream cheese tea sammiches and some fun candid shots for good measure. Though the majority of customers are girls or on the behalf of girls, Miko mentioned that a handful of boys really loved her playful colourful pieces which obviously meant I had to pull in Momo to help showcase on behalf of the boys! Here are a few samples of our collaborative work from last Fall...
Endless colour combinations mean there is not just a necklace for everyone, but multiple necklaces to suit every outfit and outlook of the day! In addition to the her Doll series, Miko's also got some sweet chunky pieces for adults and some adorable AF pandas on the go right now... Current goodies brewing are for Valentine's Day which means if you are reading this, you are ahead of the game on finding a cute gift handmade for Valentine's Day and supporting one of the sweetest Mamas in Vancity! Head over to CORALANDCLOUD on Instagram and keep your eyes peeled for the latest news!

There are no words to describe just how proud I am of my amazing friend, Emily. Over the past couple of years, I've listened to her speak passionately on numerous occasions of her dreams and goals on the farm. There has never been a doubt in my mind that she could not achieve any of the things on her growing list, it has basically been a waiting game as she began paving her way. I've seen her spread at her thinnest: working tirelessly with her chickens and crops, taking care of her family including an exchange student and a friend in need, working her part-time job (consisting of multiple graveyard shifts in a row, no less...), to finally see her momentum up brings me so much joy. You reap what you sow, and all this girl serves up is love. Thanks to everyone who has made the time to come out to Schoolhouse Farm over the past couple of weeks to support this lady with a heart of gold.
In celebration of her massive crop of sunflowers, a session was definitely a must...
Rounding off the last of June's baby week with an old high school buddy I hadn't seen for probably 12 years. Recently moving into my hood with her young family, she found me on the Instagram and we got to reconnect all these years later. Malcolm and I met her little ones, Sammy and newest addition chubby little Leilani a week before heading out for our cozy little session.
