Hannah & John - Langley Golf Centre

Wow, what a fabulous day! Hannah and John were both wonderful to photograph, and their families were lovely. We had a last minute change of plans for the formal portraits, due to the heavy rain this past week, which definitely turned out in our favour.. We managed to get some great shots and have a lot of fun!

Where I've been..

Here's a cool site where you can click off all the countries you've visited and it will generate a world map showing everywhere you've been! Kinda fun...

Here's my map, mostly the Americas, but we're planning to visit South-East Asia next winter, so I'll have to try this again then!!

Stomp

Last night Jin and I wound up with some tickets for Stomp, which we'd never been to before. It was quite a show, we really enjoyed it.. One of my favourites was the bouncing of hollow tubes on the ground, it sounded so amazing! Also when they were walking on the huge oil drums - that was powerful! I really wish I could have taken photos during the performance, but unfortunately it's prohibited..

My Birthday..

Today is my Birthday! 25 years old... I celebrated last night with some friends by going bowling, I love bowling and nobody ever seems to want to go, so my bday was a great excuse to do it! So much fun..

Lisa & Olivier

Lisa and Olivier were super to photograph, they were into everything I suggested and we managed to get some great shots of the two of them..

New Website!!

I've been doing a lot of children's photography this past year and am absolutely loving it. It's something I would definately love to spend more time doing, so I felt it only made sense to have a website dedicated solely to children's photography. Check it out, I'd love to hear what you think of it: www.alanacouch.com/kids

I also plan on having my wedding site completely re-done by the end of the summer, so stay tuned for that!..

Honest Answers About Wedding Photography

Here is a terrific site that was forwarded to me called "Honest Answers About Wedding Photography." They have some great answers to a wide variety of questions about wedding photography, as well as sample contracts and pricing.. I could see this site as being a very helpful tool for any bride and groom: http://www.wedfog.com/

Jin & Alana!!

After having to postpone a couple times because of the weather, this weekend my photographer friend Hollie Brookes (check out her site here!) took some photos of Jin and I, and we couldn't have been happier with how they turned out!! Thanks Hollie!

Dylan

What a sweet little boy.. Dylan had me running all over the place!

Jewell & Danilo

Jewell and Danilo are wedding photographer friends who are getting married in Kamloops this summer. They are such a great couple, the amount of things they're always doing amazes me, everytime I talk to them they've just come back from some incredible rock climbing or kayaking or biking trip..

They were looking for more of an urban feel for the shoot, so we toured around their neighbourhood and had a ton of fun! It must have been strange for them being on the opposite side of the camera!!

Jill & Eric

Driving over to Ambleside I was worried it was going to start pouring, the clouds were starting to get pretty dark, but within 10 minutes they were gone and we had beautiful weather (just a teeny bit cold!). Jill and Eric were great, they really got into the shoot and were naturals in front of the camera..
