Drop The Boys And Take Walk

I can't think of a better way to start the day than to walk along the beach here in Cordova Bay! 

Of late the timing and the weather has been simply perfect. I drop the kids off at the bus  about 20 minutes before the sun breaks the horizon which gives me just enough time to get to the beach so I can capture some images before I head for home!

 Just moments to go before the sun shows up for another glorious West Coast day!

 

 And on this day I was rewarded with an amazing view of  a new day!

 Cordova Bay is teaming with all kinds of life!

Images Of The City

 We at SophiePhoto love this City Of Victoria BC! We think that is easily the number one place in Canada to live and to raise a family! No offense meant to the other lovely cities in Canada but we most definitely have made our choice!

We are only to happy to share some of the many images we capture when we are out about. Whether it is just across the street from our Studio or strolling along one of the many tree lined pathways found throughout this fine city!

After you have had a look at these images please check out our other sites at SophiePhoto Blog along with Barefoot Pilot Blog and our Facebook Page!

 

 On the look out. You just never know what you may see down at the waters edge, seals, eagles sea otters and if you really get luck maybe even an Orca Whale!

 Spending time with his Grandmother!

 Just hanging out!

One of the many great aspects of Victoria is the fact that in every neighbourhood  which  has waterfront also has access for the public.

 Blue eyes and green fields, what a lovely combination!

 The view from Mt. Doug!

When the tide goes low the reflective pools that are left behind are perfect for Skimboarding!

 And provides an amazing photo op!

Even the family pet gets into it!

Out and About In The Lovely City Of Victoria.

We here at SophiePhoto love our home in the amazing city of Victoria British Columbia!

 Fall is a particularly favorite time of year for us. The seasonal colours bathed in the golden light of morning combine in such a way that we find ourselves drawn to photograph it!

For the first set of images it would be true to say that we came across this area to photograph almost by accident! On the drive home one day we happened upon one of the many tree lined streets. We thought to ourselves that we should come back and get some morning shots of the street which was framed with trees that were full of leaves that had just recently turned to their amazing fall colours. As an added bonus there was a Marina which we knew would also have great light in the morning.

As it turned out there is a nice little path down to the water and we both became quite enamored with what we saw and put the street shots on hold!

The scene was tranquil and to me it was like looking at a painting. A perfect start to the day.

With all the work we have had of late it can be a little hard to "find" the time to shoot for the pure joy of taking pictures.

Believe me it is worth the effort. Here is a shot of Sophie putting together a composition.

It is great for the two of us to shoot the same scene. There is a determinable difference in the way we compose and I am always intrigued by how we can see the same scene for its differences along with its similarities.

We actually did not get many of the street. In fact very few! None the less I am really happy with this one I got of Sophie as she was about to cross the street!

Rob took the boys to a skateboard park the other day.

Gabriel is perhaps not as keen about skateboarding as his brother but have having a pocket full of cars is just as fun!

Balance! So important in life as well as skateboarding!

I met up with my friend Mike the other day. Just before he brought his plane into Victoria I shot this one of a Harbour Air's DHC3 coming to the dock.

And here comes Mike!

Last shot of the post is of a sunrise just down the street from our Studio.

Thanks for stopping by! If you are looking for a professional photographer look no further! You can find our website at SophiePhoto along with more examples of our work at Sophies Blog , Robs Barefoot Pilot Blog or our Facebook Page !

Summer Days Gone By

One of our favorite places to go as a  family is right across the street from our house! A low tide beckons us to come and play on the exposed sandbar.

This beautiful city of ours  is built for fun in the summer!

Skim Boarding!!

Our Garden City Is A Playground !

  The City of Victoria is truly an amazing place to raise a family. The sights,sounds,wide open spaces and the many variety of activities really make it Canada's crown jewel. 

Need more convincing well have a look at the following!

  

An open field and your best friends!

I love catching those casual moments when people are most at ease and themselves.

The magic and hypnotic power of water.

Tranquil and ever so green.

It warms your heart when your child follows in your footsteps!

Devils or Angels. Well I would say angels as long as they don't get the idea to start searching for turtles and frogs at the base of the waterwheel!
