Site Updates & Fist Pumps

- There are a few changes happening in the 2011 pricing guide, as well as some changes being made to payment policy (which will be outlined soon!)

-I'm also in the process of redesigning the entire website, with a hoped-for launch around Christmas / early 2012. 

-I TOTALLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW COMPUTER. YESSSSS. So excited! This will be such a help to efficiency and awesomeness. I feel like every time I say, "I just bought a new computer!" I should accompany it with a fist pump into the air. 80s style. 

-I will be creating and posting a price list for prints ordered through me. Please note I've also created a change to the way in which you receive your prints -- cds can now be purchased in addition to the session fee. 

I am also now booking portraits into October (only a handful of spots remain!) and November. It's a wonderful time to book Christmas portraits for your nearest and dearest. I'm also very excited to be shooting again this autumn with the Chilliwack Player's Guild! Tomorrow is the 21st Anniversary for The Book Man (THEY WILL HAVE CAKE), and you should probably go to it. You should also know that some of the advertisement they've used for the promotion features photography by yours truly. Last spring I had the joy of photographing the one and only Amber Short and it was the perfect response to what had been a very stressful, struggle of a winter. Thanks Amber, for the awesome photo shoot and also, for being able to jump higher than anyone I know.

I am diligently editing the remaining photographs from all the summer sessions and should have them ready to send soon. Watch for updates and longer sneak peeks via the blog!

Lita Modeling Portfolio

This summer I was able to do a session with Lita, an aspiring model in Ontario. Thanks to my cousin Melissa for giving me a hand!

Road Trip Into Ontario

Lillia is like a little ball of sunshine, so a sunflower field was the perfect little side stop to take some pictures. Also, the car was constantly breaking down, so stops were frequent and we needed as much sunshine as possible to prevent ourselves from kicking the car and just storming into Ontario on foot.These pictures chronicle our trip through Winnipeg, Kenora and towards Fort Frances, Ontario.

Lori & Family : Chilliwack Photographer

This summer I had the opportunity to travel through Ontario and take pictures. Lemme tell you, it was a blast. A busy, busy, busy blast, but still lots of fun. I'm still in the process of editing all of the photos from the sessions I did there (ten sessions in under two weeks, plus visiting with friends and family. Excuse me while I give myself a high five. Awww yeah!) and it's a lengthy process. Here are some of the images I shot at Lori, Joel, Hannah and Alyson's session! They were so much fun to photograph - what an awesome, funny, loving family.

Here's some background on the session. I had flown into Winnipeg and met up with my cousin Melissa, her toddler Lillia and her two giant dogs and the plan was to head to Fort Frances from there. We spent one night in Winnipeg and then headed out on the road. Or... tried to. Melissa's car limped the entire way there, breaking down just outside of Winnipeg. Luckily a lovely couple swung by our overheated car and gave us a hand. We may have driven 60 the whole way, but we eventually made it to the planned session with Lori and her family... albeit with a handful of cooped up dogs and a darling, but cranky little girl.

Something like ten hours,(instead of the planned four hours) later we were kicking back in Fort Frances. But at least we made it!! Now Melissa and I are temporarily sporting the same make of car (since I totaled mine on speed bumps the size of Buick's outside the apartment) so fingers crossed both of us can keep our vehicles rolling. (Especially since Melissa is roadtripping out next summer for me and Jamie's wedding.) (WHEE!!!!)

Anyways, here is a bigger sneak peek from Lori and Family's session!

If you're interested in a session with Sarah Sovereign Photography, please send me an email!
