Jason met the Jones family recently at the Crescent Beach in South Surrey recently for some casual family portraits. The light was beautiful and they were dressed wonderfully to compliment each other and the surroundings. I like how you can catch a glimpse of each boy’s personality in their photographs. Here are a few favorites ….
Matthew Macleod Froese
October 11, 2000 – August 14, 2010
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint.”
~Isaiah 40:31
We look forward to seeing Matthew run and hear him tell his family how much he loves them one day in heaven. He is Darcie’s cousin’s oldest child and we have photographed him several times. We would capture the best expressions from him when he was surrounded by his parents and children.
He touched many lives and has inspired Matthew’s House, a respite home in Abbotsford for children with severe disabilities. His memorial service is at 2:00 on Friday, August 20th at Central Heights Church in Abbotsford.
Here is an article about Matthew and his family that was in the Abbotsford News this week.
Quantum Properties is a real estate development company based in Abbotsford. They specialize in affordable and attractive multi-family projects. They recently needed some new headshots for their management team so Jason went to their office for a business portrait session. Here are a few samples …
As we move from one photography project to another, we are usually the most excited about ones that are upcoming or ones we are currently working on. One that still stands out in our mind from last year is a stock image we created for Van Belle Nursery that has become one their main branding image.
So when they called us up again this year with some new image needs, we were excited to work with them again. Their marketing team was creating a piece about successorship at Van Belle Nursery and needed some photographs of the founder with one of his sons. Here are a few of the images we created for them …
Group Health Global is an organization in White Rock that offers years of experience and many partnerships to create the best benefits plans for their clients. They were recently updating their website with Kettner Creative and needed some new group and individual corporate images. Jason went to their office and here are a few samples of the photography he did for them …
We love seeing our portrait photography displayed in homes and our commercial images used in marketing materials. They look so much better out in the open than hidden on our multitude of hard drives (random fact: we have 13 Tera-bytes of hard drives). We recently printed a set of 72 inch and 24 inch gallery wrap canvases for a client of Vancouver taken from a boat during her son’s wedding.
Here are Jason and Lexi showing them off in our studio …
The Goddess Movement keeps adding great new classes to their repertoire. Some of the latest are their Aerial Hoop classes. I tried a class earlier in the summer and thoroughly enjoyed it despite my tendency to shy away from any activities that involve being more than 2 feet off the ground. The instructor, Lyndsey, has been studyied Aerial Hoop in Vancouver and has put together a great program. We recently went there to create some photographs with impact for the studio to use with their marketing materials. Here are a few favorites …
Their schedule for classes starting in September just came out yesterday. I don’t think it’s online yet but you can always call or email their office for more information.
Denise Lafortune at the Lower Mainland Academy of Classical Ballet in Abbotsford has developed some amazing dancers in her studio. She has a way of fostering a love of dance while remaining dedicated to technical excellence. Lexi is looking forward to beginning ballet at her studio this fall. Here are some photographs of her dancers that we did this year …
Sometimes I feel like half of my blog posts use all the old lines that used to make me feel like rolling my eyes when I was a kid. Two of those that I just have to use again for Kyrah are “she’s so cute” and “she’s growing up so quickly”. Now that I’ve got that out of my system I guess that officially makes me one of Those Adults now.
We think it’s a great tradition that Kyrah gets to come for her very, own portrait session every year and then has her updated portraits displayed in her home until her next birthday session. It’s an occasion that she looks forward to and we do as well. Here are a few of our favorites from her 2010 session …
The Ens family was all in town this summer so they decided that it was time for an updated family portrait. It poured rain a few minutes before their session but then stopped and cleared up by the time the session was over. Grandpa Ens brought his old car and it worked perfectly in the setting. Here are a few of our favorites …
