Our favourite photos of 2011

2011 was a year of firsts for Parkography.
Finally realizing what we could do together that was profitable and fun, Kyla and I put our creative minds together and did almost 16 photo shoots and 2 video gigs.
That was WAY more than I expected to do in our first year.
We've learned a lot from each other and continue to look for new ideas and ways to capture our favourite moments.
Here's to some great moments in 2011 and a wonderful year to come!

Take a moment and look back at our favourite pictures of 2011, from our lens to yours.
Happy New Year. ~The Parkographers

Willis often poses for us so that we can set up the lighting.  He's a gem.

I especially love this one now, knowing that it was a little Amelia in there.

Kyla and I enjoy snapping random shots of each other. I will clarify that, Deena loves to have random shots taken of herself, by me. I hate having my picture taken. haha.

Event Photography: A 3rd birthday extravaganza

I have a friend who is gifted in event planning. This could not have been made more clear at the epic birthday party she threw for her 3 year old this past weekend.
Crazy? Depends who's asking
Over the top? Maybe for someone who can't handle the mad skills she has
Amazing? ABSOLUTELY!
It was so awesome that she might as well have served cups of kick ass at the door.
I am so proud of her. I am also equally happy that she decided she needed photos done (or maybe I decided for her, but whatever, it worked for both of us).
I'm honoured to have documented such an event that hopefully gives her the confidence she needs to maybe pursue her dream of event planning. Because seriously, she would rock that gig. I've got her contact info if you're interested. In the meantime, soak in the awesome of these photos documenting Koen's day. What a lucky boy.
