Granvile Island Vancouver Mini-Portrait Session
It was a beautiful day in Vancouver, BC. When the warm afternoon light illuminated relaxing Granville Island, I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph this cute girl named Violet and her handsome father. (Violet’s gorgeous mother was jogging around the island) After our mini-portrait session, Violet’s father told me that they do this almost every weekend. What a sweet moment I captured. I hope you treasure these images for years to come Violet! It turns out Violet’s mother is an aspiring photographer herserlf. She shared her photos with me later via internet. Can’t wait to photograph your family again in LA.
I just love what Violet was wearing… so cute….

Seattle, Friends, Food and Wine
Jen & Barry are both foodie just like us so Jen made several reservations at their favorite restaurants. Friday night we went to theWild Ginger in Seattle for Tyler’s birthday! Sleek and modern atmosphere. Delicious Asian Fusion food and nice service. Then Saturday Morning we went to Salty’s at the Alki beach for the brunch. Loved Fresh Oyster bar the most but you gotta try their waffle station. If you sit by the window you can enjoy breathtaking view of Seattle downtown. Sunday night, four of us went out to dinner at the Cafe Juanita in Kirkland for nice and cozy adult only dinner. Jen and Barry shared their Aubert 2006 Chardonnay with us. Very fruity and smooth Chardonnay. I prefer little fruity over dry Chardonnays. I had the halibut dish so it was perfect. For the appetizer, we had “Seared Foie Gras with Bing Cherries, Candied Ginger and Cocoa nibs” was delicious! You have to try this one if it’s on the menu when you go there. Cafe Juanita offers five Star service and the quality. And of course house made desserts are to die for. Please make sure to reserve your table in advance. Okay, There was more than just food & Wine during this vacation. We went out to see the Tropic Thunder (not my kind of movie but I had a good laugh), shopped and of course did little sightseeing. I couldn’t have asked for better vacation. Great food, wine and the wonderful friends to share the table.

Back from the Friday Harbor
I am back from my two weeks journey. Refreshed and encouraged. For next few days. I am going to try to tell you little more about my trip but I need to catch up on my life here in LA. For now, I am going to have these photos to tell you the story.
This is the last image that I captured in workshop before I left the island.
Friday Harbor is the kind of place that you would like to just sit and soak up on the beauty of life.
