{Photos From Vacation}

It's a kind of tradition in my family that when we're all together that we sit for professional portraits.  Always from Sears.  And I have nothing against Sears Portrait Studio, you understand, except the predictability combined with the outrageous cost of prints.  This time I nudged not too gentry to try out an independent photographer who could do outside photos for us in a more natural setting.

Enter Tiffany - the answer to all my prayers!  She's at ChilliwackPhotographer.com and I loved her photos right from the get go!  I also LOVED that we got all the reproduction rights ALL the photographs!  She even got us some previews within the week!!

Dad has a great park right accross the street from his condo that we opted to do the photos at.  The weather was really overcast, and even a little drippy, but it worked out great!  In the main photograph above (bottom left) is all of us.  From the top: Kerry (with Alora in his arms), Melissa my Sister, James my brother, Me, and Mr. Pie. across the bottom: Ashley, Gina, Jim my dad (in the middle), Marni-Lynne my half-sister and her boy James.

I just love all these shots!!  The one of all the boys cracks me up, and I ADORE the one of dad with the Grandkids!!

some more preview shots.  I love the black and white!

And then, low and behold a few days later... I got THIS in my email!

Mr. Pie and I smooching!!

Tiffany truly was AMAZING to work with and she was a natural with Alora and the other kids.  She felt immediately like someone I want to be friends with when I move back to town.  A totally cool chick, but also super professional and super talented.  We got SO much more then we expected, and we haven't even seen all the final photos yet!  I can't WAIT to get my disk in the mail!

If you're in the lower mainland and want some photos... or geez, in the Pacific Northwest at all (Or not!!) I would totally recommend Tiffany for any kinds of photos you need taken!
