The ‘L’ Family | Vancouver Family Portrait Photographer

vai — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:32:34 +0000

I am an on location photographer, meaning I travel to my clients homes or to an outdoor location for our sessions. When choosing an outdoor location, I always ask my clients to choose somewhere they visit often or absoluetly love going to to. For the ‘L’ family it as as simple as the playground by their house. The 2 girls just loved the swings so much we could barely get them off the whole time! Here are some of my faves from our session

It was especially fun working with this beautiful mama to be because she herself is a photographer. She had a wonderful creative vision for our session and we shot everything in their home and at the park nearby. She and her hubby absolutely adore their sweet chocolate lab who is named after a Brazilian chocolate bar and we were sure to include him in many of the images

JDRF – ‘Dreaming of a Cure’

vai — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:14:00 +0000

Dreaming of a Cure is really amazing project where children living with type 1 diabetes work together with a local artist to produce a piece of art that is auctioned off at the JDRF’s annual Rockin for Research fundraising Gala event. This year I was fortunate enough to be involved by documenting the children making the art as well as producing a slideshow that was shown on giant screens at the Gala to over 500 guests before it was auctioned off to the highest bidder. This year the Gala raised over $1.5 million.

Always a coveted item, this inspiring piece of art was created by young, local

artists living with type 1 diabetes. Under the direction of well-known Vancouver

painter Nicola Morgan, a painter, illustrator, and instructor at Arts Umbrella,

these children have created a magnificent piece of original artwork titled

“Soar”. Each child has made a hand drawn and colored piece of art to express

their hopes and dreams for a cure. An Emily Carr graduate, Nicola works with

themes of the narrative as well as colour based images that express feelings

of discovery. Sure to be treasured and admired, this piece of art is perfect for

proud display in your home or office.

Hannah Georgas is a Vancouver-based recording artist that is dedicated to

helping JDRF’s mission of finding a cure for diabetes through her music. After

her father’s passing a few years ago due to complications of diabetes, Hannah

approached JDRF wanting to make a difference. A portion of the proceeds

from her first EP ‘The Beat Stuff’ were donated to support JDRF, and now she

is excited to be sharing her talent in a song written especially for the Rockin’ for

Research gala. This very special song will debut as we auction off this one of

a kind Dreaming of a Cure art piece. It is sure to inspire! Georgas and her 2010

debut full-length album ‘This is Good’ have garnered national acclaim and her

full-length follow up can be expected in 2012.

NAPCP International Image Competition Award

vai — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:40:00 +0000

I am so honored to have been selected by the NAPCP (National Association of Professional Child Photographers) for 2nd place in the babies category of this years International Image Competition.

I shot this image of little Anders last february while on a surf trip in Tofino, BC. He was at an awesome stage for photography, being a little over a year old and not quite walking yet, we could sit him down on these rocks and didn’t mind hanging out for a few seconds while I snapped a few pics.

To give a bit of background about the competition, this is from the press release:

”Designed to recognize the world’s most successful child photographers, the NAPCP Image Competition called for images across a range of category subjects, including maternity, newborn, baby, child, sibling, tween, seniors and family.

Andrew competed against thousands of image entries which were carefully judged by a blue-ribbon panel of experts based on impact, technical merit, composition and creativity. Vairdy specializes in candid lifestyle portraiture for families and says she is committed to working closely with each of her clients on clearly understanding their creative vision and producing original imagery.

Little ‘B’

I had so much fun with this little girly girl and her mom at Alta Lake Park in beautiful Whistler, BC. Our session started out with little ‘B’ taking a spill on her runner bike and scraping up her knees. She was so brave though, barely shed a tear and we were able to have a really awesome morning playing, swinging, singing and dancing.

Bellies to Babies Celebration

Yesterday was the much anticipated Bellies to Babies Celebration at the Croatian Cultural Centre in Vancouver. I was so excited to be a part of the show and super happy with how my booth display turned out. A friend of mine at Usher Logistics hooked me up with an awesome pine booth complete with lighting to showcase my gallery wrapped canvases. The turn out to the show was amazing. There were lots of really great vendors there, some really enthusiastic guests, live demos and talks. And not to mention, so many cute babies, beautiful pregnant bellies and happy new families. I had a really great time, it truly is the place for Moms to be! A big thanks to Nat for helping me out, I couldn’t have done it without her! I also had a contest for a free portrait session and will be announcing the winner tonight!

Here’s Nat, posing like a pro.
