A few more to add... there is just so many......

December 27th, 2010 - Kim & Grant

I had the honour of photographing this couple today... I have known Kim for more then a few years, as we went to high school together. She also happens to be my Travel Agent!

The weather could not have been better today. The sun was out, and there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Yes it was a little chilly, but everyone hung there for the few hours we were outside.

Enjoy!

Tis the season ... Merry Christmas!

Mason - 7 Months Old

This is my favorite age to photograph children. They can sit on their own, they can't crawl and they smile at anything.

Ray Family, October 17, 2010

With winter just around the corner the day could not have been better. Sunny & 11 degrees out in fact. Nana & Grandad came out to get in on the action as well, which was great. I first photographed this family about 5 years ago when I was first starting out and I can tell you I had alot of fun with them today. Everyone was having fun and I managed to capture the true sense of their family. I hope you all enjoy your sneak peak as much as I do and I look forward to showing your the rest.

Here are a few that I thought were fabulous....

Two Beautiful Sisters.... M & H- Sept 26, 2010

I had the pleasure to spend some time with this Family at Graduation this past May. I spent a bit of time photographing the family in a very high class state. I was asked by the girls to do a shoot for their mom's birthday. Our first appointment was cancelled due to weather and after yesterday's wind I thought for sure we would have to reschedule again. But wow what a day, it was awesome outside. When the girls were little they had their picture taken with a bunch of flowers in front of them, so we recreated a photo similar to what they did back then. But since I had them together we did an entire shoot of the two of them together. Could be the last time for awhile as M will be heading to University next year and H not far behind.

Thank-You ladies.... it was fantastic! So here are a few to hold you over the next few weeks.

Little Ms. S - Photographed on new backdrops & Floor from Photography Backdrops & Floors

J & D,: Your little girl was to die for. She was fantastic and did very well for her first professional shoot. Here are just a couple of my favorites. Would love to hear your thoughts, email me at elduff@shaw.ca There are many more but I wanted to get you a little peak as to how it all went.

Such a cheeky little smile

M & D - Engagement - South Canim Lake

M & D are an adorable couple who travelled up here from Cloverdale to M's Grandparents summer cabin on the South side of Canim Lk. Even though the total temperature outside was 11 degrees celcius and we were sitting on a rain covered ground, I captured some amazing images of the two of them. Their love for one another radiates out of them and it was a pleasure to work with them. I cannot wait for next August when I shoot their wedding.

I hope you both love the photos as much as I do......can't wait to get the rest out to you...

R & S - Sept 18, 2010. - 108 Hills Health & Guest Ranch Wedding

R & S were fantastic to work with, We started the afternoon with the ceremony which took place at the 105 Mile Baptist Church off Hwy 97. From here we took the family, Bridal party and formals of the Bride & Groom up at the 108 Hills Health & Guest Ranch. The weather was wonderful, with a bit of the Fall chill in the air and overcast skies I was able to capture some amazing images. We had to hike off the beaten path to get Fall foliage but it was worth it if I dont' say so myself.

LOVE this image of you Sam, Beautiful... this was one we had to take alittle hike for.

And THIS... LOVE it even more....

Yes I love to peak through bushes and trees but I love the result that you get from the idea.

Ok and THIS is another one of my favorites. We really had to walk a little ways for this one. Down a gravel path in flat dress shoes and High heel wedding shoes is not an easy task. Not sure who was going to have to catch who walking down this path. Once we were down there we had to deal with the prickle bushes, which I am still picking out of my socks! The sun was on its way down and this little grove of trees really captures the time time of year. One word: STUNNING!

K & N Lac La Hache Wedding - August 28th, 2010

K & N married in K's home town of Lac La Hache, BC. Nothing was going right for Nicki & Kris weeks leading up to their wedding. Between the weather and all their cancellations N was close to running away. When the day finally came, the weather could not have been more beautiful! They were married lake side, were escorted by some very old vehicles, were surrounded by Friends and Family and we beat the rain at the end of the day. Our photos were taken on site at the ceremony location as well as the 108 Stables. We were just finishing up when the thunder and rain clouds were headed our way and I was able to capture two amazing shots of the two of them. Their 3 yr old son Camron stole my heart throughout the day, what a little Character. N's jewellery was vintage and absolutley stunning, N also made all the flower arrangements & added her own bead detail to her dress .
