Birds In Paradise – The Molloy Family in Victoria, BC

Dan & Rachel — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 23:15:47 +0000

One of the problems with moving to a new province is that you don’t get to take all your favourite people with you to your new home. However, the Molloys (including the wonderful Shawn, Paula, Georgia & Mason) bridged that gap and flew out to sunny Victoria to escape the 5ft-high snowbanks at their home in Alberta. We took a ferry over to Vancouver Island – our first visit to that beautiful area – and shot some family photos in the Molloys’ favourite annual vacation spot at British Columbia’s capital city.

And, I don’t know how many of you have been to Victoria, but there was a bird overload there! A family of 40 ducks entertained us at the Hotel Grand Pacific, and we got photo-bombed by peacocks in Beacon Hill park. Yes, I said peacocks! That was a surprise for this Alberta girl!

After a wonderful fall family portrait session last year, we were thrilled to shoot another family portrait session for them this year! Thank you Stan, Diana and Ewan! We had a blast shooting with you in downtown Edmonton, and we hope you like your pics!

Check out a few of our favs!

Announcing Baby Alexa!

Dan & Rachel — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:25:31 +0000

We had the pleasure to shoot Jeff & Jessi’s wedding, an awesome Mom-and-son session, and now baby Alexa’s first photoshoot! Shooting with this family is always fun, and I’m (Rachel) always in awe of Jessi’s calm, cool, collected attitude when the world around her is spinning with dizzying energy. You guys are so much fun, and we love that you’ve continued to choose us to capture some of lives’ best moments! And, Jeff, thanks for always hanging in there, even though we know you HATE having your picture taken.

P.s. In just a few short weeks, Daniel and I will be operating the company out of North Vancouver, BC. We still will be based in Edmonton, AB, so feel free to contact us to book your next shoot (in either city – or, pick a new one! haha).

First up, big brother Nate!!

Baby Mason’s 2nd Shoot!

We absolutely love shooting the Molloy family’s portraits. Their fall family portraits were adorable, baby Mason’s first pictures were heart-breakingly cute, and now, his second portrait shoot just makes us burst out into the goofiest grins in reply to his own!

Check them out, and let us know what you think!!

Grady Turns 1!

Dan & Rachel — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 22:51:02 +0000

We did photos for Greg, Carrie and Grady last year when Grady was just a few weeks old – if you didn’t see that session check it out here. Now, he’s ONE! It’s shocking how time flies!!

We hit up a spray park and an obliging field for these family portraits. We had such a blast trying to get Grady to giggle – STINKY FEET! And, when Greg accidentally set off the spray park while we were in it, we all made a mad dash laughing and trying to cover our gear. As you’ll see from our iPhone pics below…we saved the gear, but couldn’t save ourselves. Grady’s face shows it the best!!

Hope you enjoy these!!

Here’s Grady running from the water!!
