Okay, boys and girls, it's official. Jane Photo's new blog is up and running at janephoto.ca/blog. Our website will direct you there as well. We're so head-over-heels pleased to have both the new site and the new blog functional finally. What a big old January chore, and it took the entire month. In honour of the new blog and site, the first 3 people to book sessions this week January 26,

How often do you get to photograph a baby on the exact day she turns one? I was so glad I was able to schedule Ms T right on time. She was such a little love... Mom brought a cupcake to celebrate the occasion, and when we were all done, she brought it out for Ms T. Ms T looked at her like, You have got to be kidding me! Is this for real? It was, and she made a wonderful, glorious mess.

Just in time for Valentine's Day (see our promotion to the right)...Jane Photo Intimates. We are working on a dedicated blog for these since we no longer have any adult photos on our new site, but for now, just a few. Ms S was a joy and a delight to work with. I draw her, too, and it was fascinating to change my approach for these shots. We had toooo many clothing changes, lol.My faves,

These two dreamgirls reminded me of me and my sis, and also my two daughters. Little sis Ms V was just stumbling along in big sis Ms H's bigger footprints, trying to do everything she did just as soon as she did it. Sooo cute. And gorgeous. Ain't they just so gorgeous?

I have been hammering and dry-walling and nailing my new website, logo, and blog into being...but they're still not ready! I have moved this week's sessions in the hopes that this group of "buildings" that will hold my biz will be done this week. (I may be shooting some newborns. They come on their own schedules.)

Here are a couple faves from Jane Photo yesterday when the dotter and grand-dotter were camping it up. This is Auntie and niece--too cute. It is snowing--again. Hard. Again. Good gravy. We had more than a dozen here for dinner (and some too snowed in to make it), and much revelry was had by all. All the young ones got into the studio props and were flouncing around in pettiskirts--too

It's Christmas Eve, and Jane Photo sends along wishes for a happy holiday to all our clients, friends and family. We have 16 coming for dinner...don't know how we'll fit everyone, or whether folks will be able to get here through all the snow. Digging out the cars has been a procedure indeed, and now they're stuck anew. But isn't the snow a hoot for Christmas? Thanks to the folks who've sent

Here are some wonderful sibs to go with the baby bambino in the post just below this one. I think the image of the three of them from above is one of my fave ever...it just melts my heart every time I look at it. I totally lost my heart to these two, three and four years old. They were sooo good and easy, and so photogenic, and they were just smitten with their new little brother. Please

Meet an adorable munchkin!This little fellow was a month old and pretty well awake during most of his session despite all the heat we were throwing his way in the hopes of sending him off to dreamland. He was such an adorable little guy, with a wonderful thinker's forehead, chubby arms, and deep, startling eyes. I was so surprised at his ability to track what was going on around him, and also

Little Ms S was such a delight to have in the Jane Photo studio! She had such a wonderful look with her springy curls of dark hair--and her funny faces. She had me cracking up from beginning to end, that's for certain. I haven't met a single soul who can do a fishy face quite as well as the divine Ms S, and I'll just bet she's been endless entertainment for her loving parents, T and M. Here

I wanted--once again--to bring everyone's attention to the organization I vounteer for, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. This US organization supplies volunteer photographers to families experiencing an infant death, and has been featured in the Vancouver Sun and Macleans magazine this fall. I have written a brief article for Urban Baby and Toddler, a BC publication, for their winter issue. As well

Okay, here's the question: how many bits of your heart can you give away before you don't have any left? Call the paramedics, 'cause now I've lost a whole lot of mine. Say hello to the inimitable Ms J and her baby sister, the smiley-puss, N. They visited the studio on different days, but I'm blogging them together. Ms J was such a hoot going costume-crazy--the studio is something of a

And speaking of niblets...I shot this family with its big papa cob, its mama cob and the delightful niblet cob, F-J, on a recent drenched day in North Vancouver. Such an expressive family, and this kind of horsing around (cobbing around?) leads to fab photos. 'A' family, you are always welcome back in Jane Photo-land, because it was such a thorough pleasure making your photos. Here are a few

Little E was the most photogenic baby! At 5 months old, she wasn't quite steady for sitting on her own yet, but she loved flying in mama's arms. I know I shouldn't be posting such recent work when there are too many Jane Photo sessions languishing on the sidelines, but I just wanted to show mama--who had the patience of a mother of five (which she is) with this little niblet--just how well

I was so pleased to photograph F and her family again a couple weeks ago. Little F came to see me as an infant, and ended up being the model on my studio sample for photo handbags. She's grown up so much now! Soon she will be two years old. We were taking pix in a park near Ambleside in North Vancouver, and when I was coming across Second Narrows and along the highway, it was pouring down in

Little baby N is really a phenom. Only 11 months, and walking up a storm. She's been up on her feet for months already. This happened with my first little one, Sarah, at 9 months, and she looked ever so funny walking along the roads of Castlegar with me that winter--everyone would stop us to exclaim because she was so tiny.

And what a lass to post about! Please say hello to little E. She's a big whopping 2.5 weeks now, but in these photos she was just a tiny bitty 2.5 days! I felt so honoured and pleased to get to spend time with this family again after doing Becky's maternity a couple months ago. E arrived all in a rush and gave her mama so little trouble during labour that they were back home--labour included-

Jane Photo had the extreme pleasure to photograph a second baby K recently. This little one is the pudgiest six-month-old baby boy with the sweetest loving mama any kid could hope for. Little K came into the studio, which can be somewhat of a challenge for little ones with all the new sights and sounds and funny feeling props. Dad didn't attend, as some of these photos--in particular the

Everyone, say hello to the divine Ms. K. Jane Photo met up with the R family on a beautiful autumn day just outside Vancouver. It was chilly, and we were a bit time-pressed, but we got many gorgeous captures. Ms. K is just two months old, and her loving parents couldn't be more pleased to have her in their lives--ditto for her grandparents, who are here from Malaysia. This baby had me twisted

Baby H came in to see Jane Photo last week with her loving mama and I wanted to share a few of her images with everyone. Oh my goodness, what a sweetie. She just charmed me. It's not very often one can cajole a 7-month-old into a series of strange hats without complaint, but H was a little trooper no matter what we asked her to wear. Course we got loads of perfectly ordinary photos too, but

The wife and I grabbed a few moments yesterday in all the hubbub of a busy client season to take some portraits of each other. Sooo long overdue; I haven't had any portraits of me made for years (although some nice ones were captured by Janet Rerecich at our daughter's wedding this summer), and I love taking photos of Joy. She is so adorable. The trees were gorgeous. I think I can safely say

Such a sweet little getaway Joy and I had last weekend. It was great to leave the city, and great to be around all that nature. We stayed at the Summerland Lakeside Resort, where the suites were unexpectedly beautiful and sooo comfy--just right for curling up with a special squeeze and a book. I loved all the vineyards, and kept snapping pix to get just the right ones--who could go wrong at

On the subject of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and parents who will be having a rough time this Thanksgiving, I wanted so much to share these images captured just last week of tiny, adorable Evangeline Grace for her grieving parents, S and R. She arrived much, much too early, at 20 weeks, suffering from Trisomy 18. There is so, so much love evident in these photographs. Her sorrowing parents

Before Canada's Thanksgiving holiday arrives this coming weekend, I wanted (again) to mention the great organization Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Jane Photo has volunteered for them for about two and a half years, and it has been my honour to be with many families as they go through an early infant loss. There are several Vancouver area photographers--and we can always use more as the service

Jane Photo photographed the most adorable twins this spring. I didn't have any experience with multiples, and I wanted some. It was such a pleasurable session, and I have a permanent soft spot in my heart for those little gals and their mama. Here is what the mama wrote for the North Shore Mothers of Multiples newsletter this month:

Woo-hoo, baby-to-be! Becky and Jane Photo got together for our second maternity session just to switch up our scenarios and try a few new things. I was longing to get out into an industrial area, and Becky was game. So after doing a few more pretties in the studio, off we trundled. So fun. We stopped at a park partway, and then headed down to the nitty and the gritty. Within a block radius,

I just love my job. I love it so much sometimes I want to pop. Do these images rawk, or what? Jane Photo was soooo lucky to be hired to photograph Becky and her upcoming bundle of joy. Becky's babe is due in another month. She doesn't know yet if she's expecting a boy or girl. That's so cool, I think, to have the anticipation. As Becky put it, there aren't many happy surprises left in the

These beautiful brides hail from Colombia, and they were tickled pink to be in Vancouver to wed. They had ghastly weather, poor things, but they were troopers during it all, though I'm sure our chill and drizzle felt like about -50 degrees C to them. Like the last couple Jane Photo blogged, they got married at the Celebration Pavilion in Queen Elizabeth Park and then went on a cruise to Alaska.

Monica and Tom got married during a beautiful ceremony on August 8, 2008, and broke their wine glass at precisely 8:08 pm! The service took place at the Celebration Pavilion in Queen Elizabeth Park, and the reception was at Season's. Good luck to both bride and groom. May you have many happy years together. Thanks for choosing Jane Photo for your photo needs.

Last week I did bridals for a woman in town for her wedding on the luckiest day of the year, 08-08-08. More about their wedding to follow later this week. Meantime, here are some sneak peeks from Monica's wonderful bridal. Every one of them was taken at the stunning Westin Grand on Robson Street, with the oh-so-helpful Lisa paving the way.

Our youngest daughter, Meghann, got married to her long-time love, Greg, Aug 2nd in White Rock. They had one of those wonderful weddings where nothing goes right (forgotten decorations, honeymoon suite cancellation, missing DJ) while, at the same time, absolutely nothing goes wrong because the love between the couple just shone like a beacon. Meg and Greg and their little one, Julianne (Meg's

Angela and Damien had such a very beautiful wedding in late June. The weekend is one that is notoriously stormy in Vancouver, but they had absolutely great weather--they were so lucky. Angela's gown was absolutely stunning; Damien, her fella, wore new duds from Scotland. Angela even wore a lucky sixpense in her shoe. The much-lauded SFU pipe band, to which they both belong, piped them out of

He took on a bit of 'tude when his papa styled him a faux-hawk. We wish Tristan and his family all the best in the coming months. Mom and Dad are over the moon with joy, and it's so easy to see why.

Sam came to Jane Photo as a referral, and we did a June special mini maternity shoot. Sam's about to have her first little munchkin later this summer, and she's just blooming with good health. Being in your last trimester in this heat isn't fun, and we at Jane Photo wish her all the best for the safe delivery of her daughter or son. Can't wait to meet the new little one! We'll get awesome

Some of you may know that Gary Lewis of Phoenix Perennials in Richmond has been cajoling me for some years to teach a macro flower workshop through his nursery. Of course spring is my busiest time--weddings, gardening, portraits--so I've always said a firm no, but somehow he broke down my resolve this year. I met with my group twice, and wow, did I luck out!

Everyone knows by now that California legalized same-sex marriage...and it takes effect next week on June 16th at 5 pm. Woo hoo! It is such fantastic news. All the Californian couples wed in Canada will automatically have their Canadian marriages recognized (as do heterosexual couples). A wonderful couple I photographed last year has been featured on NPR (National Public Radio in the US), and

Joy and I drove up to Kamloops on Friday to attend convocation at Thompson Rivers University where our "son" bill was receiving his honourary Doctor of Letters degree.

I was so honoured and pleased to be able to do the photographic art for these two new little arrivals just after they were home from the hospital. They're not identical twins, and one weighed a good pound more than her sister, but they were utterly cute and dear. Mom was pretty awesome herself. These are babies three and four for their now 6 person family, so she's got her hands more than full

I have been meaning to introduce folks to little Christa, who was born with a medical condition incompatible with life in mid-March. She was a wee little peanut, about a pound or so, and so lovely and dear. I was fortunate to be able to memorialize her through the organization I volunteer with, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Though I am incredibly saddened by the babies who are losing their

This second one is a photograph of little Arthur done as a pencil sketch. I just love it, don't you? Sweet Arthur stole my heart when he came to see me in the studio. He was at a great age--7 months and a bit--where, from my grown-up perspective, being alive is delicious. Seven monthers are full of joie de vivre. They can sit up by themselves and tummy time is a lot of fun.I just roll on the

Little E was in the studio a couple of weeks ago. Isn't she adorable? She was really shy at first, but really warmed up over time. I love her transparent joy most of all. Radiant, incandescent. When she's comfortable and happy, she fills with 100% pleasure. It was my great pleasure to meet her. E's grandmom made the awesome outfit she's wearing here. It is sooo beautiful, and you can tell

Was I surprised when our wee-est ones turned out to have been born on the very same day, February 9.

D and M came to see me a couple of weeks ago for their maternity session. D wanted a different kind of maternity photograph: subtle and artistic, merely suggesting the pregnancy rather than having it front and center (as it were). I shot a number of lovely scenarios, but this grouping was by far my favourite. When I saw this one, it made me gasp. D used to be a photographer herself, so I

Noah's parents waited a very long time to welcome him into the world. Noah was diagnosed with a condition called Trisomy 13 way back in early October. His folks weren't sure whether his mom would be able to maintain her pregnancy, or not, or whether, in fact, they'd be able to meet little Noah when he arrived. His mom had quite a bit of false labour over the last week or so, and then on

I know because Angela and Damien's engagement shoot was December first. They decided to have photographs made where Angela works--the Cancer Agency--and at City Square, the mall. They were a hoot to work with--the kind of couple one could only refer to as "game" when I suggested a grocery cart--and I'm so looking forward to the pleasure of capturing their June wedding.

In the early hours of Christmas night, when snow fell softly across the city, Angel was born to her loving, longing and brave mama. Although the studio is closed for the holidays, I felt it was important to be there with Angel's mother as Angel joined and left their family. I made photographs of beautiful little Angel for the organization Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, a non-profit foundation

Time for a well-deserved rest after an exceedingly busy time since March!I hope everyone has very happy holidays and a happy start to the year 2008!

These women and men visited Vancouver a couple of weeks ago and found every sort of weather imaginable. Crisp sunshine and cold; heavy snowfalls (when they got stuck trying to get back to the city from Whistler!) and absolute torrents of rain and wind that cancelled ferries and flooded the city streets. But it was a total pleasure photographing them, and between rainfalls, we got some stunning

Well, it's been a long process, but we've finally changed our name, made it legal, and are raising a glass of champagne!I used Jane Eaton Hamilton Photography when I started out because I already have a great reputation as a Canlit writer (author of six books), and wanted the name recognition to carry through. But it's just too darned hard for folks who aren't hooked in to my reputation to

Tried some painting with light last weekend with Cecile, our model from Paris who is in Canada just for one semester. This lovely image is the result.

We were so pleased to photograph our first winter fairy this week. She looks so wonderfully mischievious that you can just imagine that with a wave of her wand, Vancouver will be covered completely in snow.Ahhhh, so that's what's up tonight as the white flakes fall outside our window...These photographs display a few wonderful digital matts used in our wall art, along with a couple more

Everyone knows by now that I had a bad break-in last week, which, among other things, bumped a few sessions. I apologize for my tardiness in updating my blog. I can't seem to get the hang of putting up sneak peeks of my sessions, but I'm vowing to be better next year!Instead of photographing Kate and her family in the sumptuous weather of last weekend, all warmth and sunshine, we had to sneak

A great time was had by all on Saturday!Folks, your kids are beyond adorable, and it was such an honour and pleasure to work with you--even as briefly as 15 minutes--to create these memorable photographs. I kept losing my heart to child after child, so really, if you ever need a babysitter... Such cutie patooties you all got to go home with!

"They got oil on their dresses," she said. "I'm not sure if they managed to get the spots out or not."The mystique of "The Dress" is strong. Little girls grow up dreaming of it. Never will

Oh my goodness, we've been run off our feet lately! Our last session before going away was David and Brad's scrumptious wedding on Vancouver's Pride! It's a little strange to be working on Pride instead of revelling, but these two hubbies carried us right along in the bob and sway of their infectious joie de vivre. They looked fabulous in sharp linen suits, their wedding decor was to die for (

Here is a blend of two little fellows I made portraits of in May. Isn't it beautiful? I just love this. Avaiable as a 16x16 or 20x20. Below is a birth annoucement I've been working on in a movie format. Love this, too, though it couldn't be more different than the one above.

Early last week, I photographed a sad and poignant session for the important organization where I volunteer. I know I've mentioned Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep on the blog before, but I think it's worth mentioning again, especially because the word about us has not spread very widely in these parts. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep provides local volunteer photographers who will come to the hospital to

I've made a new wonderful blend. It's 16"x20" and can be printed either as a canvas or a print. Can you picture your own daughter's image here? This is Julianne, and she's wearing one of our new and so fun poofs. This poof is pink with an orange ruffle, and it is simply the most delicious bit of clothing I've seen in a while. Julianne wasn't even in the mood for photographs, ham that she

After a billion requests, we've finally got a new website address for everyone sick to tears of keying in all the ridiculous letters in my name!

This painting just arrived as a 24"x30" gallery wrapped canvas, ready to hang. Isn't it beautiful? It was painted for us by Paintings by Stacey, and we couldn't be more pleased. Didn't Stacey do an awesome job? Just for the moment, before it goes off to its real home, it has a happy spot on our mantel where we can get our visual fill. The only thing I might not like? It's not big enough!

I did a family shoot last weekend out In Richmond with a great family of four--mom, dad and two of the spriteliest kiddos, an 8 year old girl, and a 6 year old boy. As I made my way through their images this week, preparatory to creating a slideshow for them, I kept smiling, and I

They are the first in their circle of LGBT friends to wed, and I'm so curious to know if their lovely nuptial day (yes, the rain held off, if not during their carriage ride then during their Stanley Park Rose Garden ceremony), and their freedom in Vancouver to express their love and

Erin was such fun to shoot! I love, love, love taking shots that show the beauty of the human form, and Erin made it easy! She's a beautiful woman with an unerring sense of how to move for the camera, and every second with her was a pleasure. She arrived with her friend, Amanda, in tow. My impromtu assistant, Amanda did all the picky little things that go faster with help, like hair-brushing.

I've made a slideshow of Isaac, the preemie baby I've just re-photographed at five months. It's up on my site under Portraits/Slideshows which links from over on the right side here. He's such a dreamy big monkey now...just as sweet of temperament and cuddly as ever, and while undoubtably his cheeks are the same remarkably adorable cheeks as I shot umplumped shortly after his autumn birth,

Here are some pieces I've been working on of late.This is a composite image of a small underwater daffodil merged with the leaf lattice from last year's hydrangea, also taken underwater, using a compositing technique known as the Orton Technique after Michael Orton. It is modified because it begins with digital imagery rather than the more usual underexposed film, and because digital always

I stopped by baby Isaac's home recently to take more photographs of this bouncing five-month-old baby, and to grab a shot of the wall art his parents purchased in February commemorating his arrival. It is sure stunning up on their yellow wall. The matts are incredibly thick, setting the artwork off beautifully. It's funny seeing and shooting Isaac now. I am so ultra familiar with him because

Still working slowly to get the fine art site up and running. I had my favourite model and second-born daughter, Meghann, out under the second string of Vancouver's blooming cherry blossoms this week, this time in Queen Elizabeth park, where, given it's Easter, there were a considerable number of picnickers and revellers. There was even a family who had erected a tent for their kids to play in

Leanne and Moya, brides from San Francisco, braved last week's Vancouver chill to legalize the wedding that had been invalidated in California nearly three years ago. They were one of the hundreds of couples snaked around San Francisco's City Hall in the rain after Mayor Gavin Newsom decided to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples on Feb 14, 2004. Every couple was "unwed" a scant seven

I had the beautiful Julianne, six, out under the cherry blossoms on Vancouver's Graveley Street yesterday. There are many lovely photos, but this was my favourite because of her joy as she spins! And check her out up a tree...almost vertiginous, but lovely.Last year, Vancouver began a yearly Cherry Blossom Festival, and the Graveley Street Akebono blooms have hit the map. Consequently,

I've spent a chunk of time working on my fine art site the last couple weeks.
