Good Day Sunshine

Everyone seemed extra cheery today under this glorious sunshine. Extra smiles all around out on the town today. Even Ati was taking some extra time sunbathing . . . Enjoy this winter warmth Kelowna!

Little Eve - a girl of many wonderful faces

Baby's First Year

Favourite Image of 2009

Transferring the light.

The moment was just so peaceful and touching. A beautiful ceremony in the forest on a quiet night. Thank you to all that have been involved in Freestone Spirit this past year. Happy New Year!

Baby's First Year - Eve is now 9 months old!

A real cutie, Eve is cheerful, active and becoming very inquisitive. A joyful way to spend part of an afternoon...rolling around and playing on the floor.

Fun in the Sun

Kelowna. Sandy beaches, plenty of sun and a beautiful lake for swimming. I love living here.

Baby’s First Year – Eve is now 4 months old

Eve is most certainly growing fast; a sweet little girl that we are following along with photos of her first year. Here are a few from the first months.

Small girls - Big hearts

Meet Jenna and Kiera. They have been pledging all birthday money to spinal cord research. I remember a birthday at their age being something wonderfully big and exciting. To give a big piece of that away...well, it’s inspiring. Their inspirational story is being told in an upcoming magazine published by the University of Calgary and I was fortunate enough to be the one they chose for the photography. It has been a pleasure to meet and work with you Robert, Lisa and especially you Kiera and you Jenna.

On A Mission

The first episode of “On A Mission” - a project by Freestone Spirit.
Enjoy! Comments and sharing is welcomed...

Chasing the sun

Here in the Okanagan we’ve been wallowing under a phenomenon called valley cloud. Many days without sunshine . . . Depressing. However, it is escapable! Just a half-hours drive up into the mountains you break through and into the sunshine! Sarah, Echo, Ati and I took some time to get out and soak in some rays, chase each other around on the ice and do a little fishing. Sure, it isn’t quite like flying south, but it feels good just the same.

Okanagan Life Magazine – Jan/Feb 2009

The January/February issue of Okanagan Life Magazine is now available. I was privileged to be involved in three stories for this issue. First, I met with some of the wonderful Kelowna hospice volunteers, providing the images for “Death is a Beautiful Life” – a touching piece written by Ross Freake.


Freestone Spirit Photography also provided images for “Green with Inspiration”, a story of vision, commitment and love of a wonderful Okanagan couple, Colleen and Darrell Bachman. (Kickspike Website)


Thirdly, we began what I hope to be a regular column called “One Day”. One day, one place, one experience – all in the spirit of sharing.


Thank you everyone!

Time well spent

Holidays and family.
Smiles and laughter.
Love you all.
