Colourful Portraits with my Mother

A few days ago I photographed a children's birthday party in Kelowna. At the event there were these beautiful massive balloons. I asked the parents (my clients)  if I could take some balloons home, and they said I could!  The event ended late, I stuffed the balloons into my car. You can only imagine how silly I looked driving with a car stuffed with pink baloons! Anyways, as it was late, I decided to spend the night at my mothers house nearby.

My mother was also mesmerized by these balloons! I wanted to use the balloons as soon as possible. I decided it would be a great idea to take photographs of my mother with the balloons in the morning. 

In the morning my mother put on her favourite dress and we went to her pergola in her backyard.  The photos turned out great - I absolutely love them. When my mother looked at the pictures she was amazed at herself. I'am glad my pictures can reflect her inner and outer beauty. I had a lot of fun with these portraits ! 

 

People I've met at UBCO

People I've met at UBC Okanagan

Every year the Okanagan campus is beautifully decorated with blooming flowers at the end of the winter semester. I obsess over these flowers. The last five years I was too busy with school to give these flowers extra attention. My last year at the university I decided the time was now. 

I did not have the energy to take fine art images on campus. A lovely idea popped into my head. Take photographs of people you know on campus. Over the years I've met many lovely people from UBC. Enough to start this small personal photography project.
