Port Moody

Lately we've fallen into a bit of a slump, especially on the weekends! Matty ventures into his "cave" to play XBox Live, while I tidy up the house, sit on the sofa with a cuppa tea, and read a book or watch some tv. It's gotten into quite the routine...and I've had enough! We went to Port Moody yesterday, and boy is this place ever cute! We didn't really know where we were going, and the GPS took us to a dead end road, but we ended up finding an amazing park with tons of little hiking trails! We had a little picnic(in the car...it was freezing out okay!?), and wandered around for a couple hours. I can't even remember the name of the place, so I'll have to update later on, but it was gorgeous! One of my new year's resolutions is to get in shape and lose some weight, and this place is definitely on my list of workout spots! Haha! The trails go up, down, all around! It's quite the leg workout! I felt the BURN!! Especially today! After that hike, my kick-boxing workout, AND 2 hours on the recumbent bike(!!!!!...yes, I rode while watching a movie!), my legs feel like jello today! But, that's okay! I just hope I didn't get too many funny looks walking around the grocery store like I just got off a horse! Well, this post was quite random. Yes. But random posts are bound to happen! Enjoy these few shots of Port Moody! There's more to come!

Melissa & Derek ~ Pregnancy Shoot ~ Part 1

4 years ago I met Melissa @ the retail store we used to work at. When I heard she was expecting a baby in February I jumped @ the chance to photograph her baby belly! We needed a maternity shoot in our portfolio, and she was so excited to be part of our learning experience! We met up and went to Fort Langley(I love that place!!) to take some outdoor shots. This couple is the cutest darn thing you've ever seen! You can tell they're really excited for this next chapter in their lives. Thanks for being superb models for us you two! You were amazing! ps. Melissa has such a natural beauty to her, I didn't need to edit ANY of these pics! And the weather and lighting outside was a bonus too!

What a beauty!

I heart this one!

Aahh...love

Favourite!

Again, thanks Melissa & Derek!! More pics to come!

The time has come...

Well, it's official! The time has come for me(Claire) to retire the good ol' flip-flops...(tear)...and welcome my grungy boots back into my life! Those who know me well know that I live in flip-flops pretty much all year round...not this year! It's been so gross outside that I've had to resort to my second favourite pair of foot apparel. Sigh. But there's good news to all this mumbo jumbo! I have a new pair of grungy boots!!! Well, they aren't grungy at all actually! Hubby bought them for me last weekend! And I heart them! So maybe life will look up; maybe I'll wear my grungy boots all year round! Then again, maybe not.

Summer lovin'...all year round(used to be)

My old grungy boots! I still love them!

My new loves!!

Random weekend

Gotta love weekends where you have absolutely nothing planned! And to top it off, after the whole week of rain, the skies cleared up and it was gorgeous for both Saturday AND Sunday!! We went into Fort Langley on Saturday to meet Mum for coffee, then just wandered around taking in all the Autumn colours and busy-ness! Here's a few pics from Fort Langley:

Hmm...lovely

The old train station

The remnants of a great Caramel Macchiato..Mmm

Not yet ready to retire the flip-flops!!!

And here's some from Sunday @ the Steveston Harbour/Fisherman's Wharf:
