Little Red Riding Hood

The first images of the Fairy Tale Sessions were shot on October 25 : first up, Little Red Riding Hood! (Incidentally, who I'm dressing up as for Halloween this year as well!)

The hair and makeup was done by Crystal McHargue and Jennifer Reichelt. Model is Mackenzie. Design by Macey Faulkner, Concept and Photography by me. Assistant Director - Crystal McHargue.

A gallery will be added in time. Next up : The Snow Queen!

New Gallery : Peter Pan and Wendy

The new gallery for Peter Pan & Wendy is finally up! I've also perked up the Alice In Wonderland gallery, shifting some pictures around and adding some new ones in.

Below are a couple of extras from the Peter Pan shoot (perhaps to be added in soon...)

And keep your eyes peeled for the Book Man Ad Campaign images appearing in the paper!

Peter Pan !

From the Peter Pan photo shoot in July. Gallery to come soon! Pictured: A Lost Boy with Tinkerbell.

Fantastic Summer.

Hey! A blog! Long time no see!

So much has happened this summer, and so much is set to happen this fall. From organizing more photo shoots to the launch of the Book Man Ad Campaign (look for my work by them in the Leisure Guide and newspaper!) to Book Man bookmarks as well. Exciting things are also happening with this site as well, as I will be relaunching and revitalizing the blog portion within the next few weeks.

In July we had a Peter Pan photo shoot (gallery coming soon!) and in August I took pictures of a beautiful engaged couple, Collette and Jerune. My good friend Alicia came to visit from Thunder Bay, Ontario as well, and it was a wonderful week full of Granville Island goodness, jellyfish, ocean encounters, and smoke pipe - filled bookshops whose shelves were re-fashioned from waterbed headboards.

Look for some exciting changes to the site to come this autumn!

Alice In Wonderland Awesomeness

On Saturday three weeks of organization and planning in between work breaks reached fruition in the form of the Alice In Wonderland Photo Shoot, wherein friends and artists gathered together to dress with a little madness and wander around the streets of Chilliwack.

The clothing consists of pieces created and / or altered by Macey Faulkner. She did an amazing job -- she managed to translate the nonsensical, undefined ideas I had in my head into beautiful, clear works of fashion.

The make up for the March Hare, Caterpillar, Alice and the Cheshire Cat was done by the talented Kaila Alexander, who also played Alice. The hair and makeup for all the other characters was created by Amy Van Wormer. The headpiece seen on The Flower was sewn by Amy Nieto, and arrived on my doorstep a day before shooting. Crystal McHargue was our Assistant Director, mindfully tapping her watch to keep us on schedule, organizing, and keeping me from losing my mind. Derek "Muscles" Neudorf assisted in carrying around armchairs and dollhouses through the woods.

Many, many thanks to all of the models, who put up with long hours of waiting and uncomfortable footwear :

Alice : Kaila Alexander
The White Rabbit : Amber Short
The Caterpillar : Nadine Laidler
The Queen of Hearts : Sheri Eyre
The Mad Hatter : Emily Hamel Walde
The March Hare : Kimma Monique
The Cheshire Cat : Jennifer Laureen
The Flower : Rima Gifford

And special thanks to The Wellington, for letting us take over their foyer, and the Book Man, for allowing us access to their children's section.

You can find the gallery over here!

So much time and so little to do! Wait. Scratch that. Reverse it.

Things have been hectic over here in Sarah Land, with many photo shoots and photo opportunities in between the busyness!

No More Medea, a theatrical production I photographed wrapped on the 15th and 16th of this month. It was a fantastic show! A gallery will be added eventually to the main site of the images I snapped for this wonderful play.

I'm in the process of working on an ad campaign for a local business -- one that will involve two of the things I love best : Books and Costumes. I am also working on an upcoming costumed photo shoot with an Alice In Wonderland Theme! Fine china, knee high socks and Marie Antoinette-style hair will abound ... it's going to be nuts. I can't wait.




Finally, shot these images of my handsome little nephew Connor this weekend. I can't believe how fast he's growing!
