Today I had the privilege of hearing Brett Wilson speak as he presented to the business students at CDI College in Abbotsford. This guy is awesome! Apart from having been a “nice” dragon on Dragon’s Den, he has some great shirts! He also has a good sense of humor and some great advice to offer entrepreneurs. He had three main points, but my word for the day from Brett is philanthropy. I loved everything he had to say about this word. Totally want to take some “Brett” and see where I can take it.
I love my job

Alice and Paul were looking for something a little unique for their wedding at Hycroft. Apart from the ceremony they didn’t want anything formal – their main aim was for their guests to have a really great time. With the help of Sandy from DreamGroup Productions, they certainly managed that. Utilising all of the mansion’s rooms, several awesome buffets were set up, ranging from the open air oyster bar to the delicious Southerm BBQ (well done Culinary Capers!), with wine tasting, bubble tea and a variety of desserts. Guests mingled inside and out and everyone had a fantastic time. Now that’s what I call a celebration! Congrats Alice and Paul!
no comments On Sunday we got up early and went Downtown to watch the Vancouver Marathon. We found a great spot on the Seawall just outside of Stanley Park, 1 mile from the finish and got a good view of the front runners as they sped past us (and I mean sped – these guys were amazing!). Here are some pix of the winners in action: Gezahgn Eshetu and Benard Onsare duke it out for first and second place with 1 mile to go….
Gezahgn Eshetu from Ethiopia was the 2012 Marathon winner in 2:21:50
Ryan Day from Victoria came 3rd…
Ellie Greenwood was the first woman to cross the finish line in 2:42:15
Mary Akor finished in 2nd place…
Catrin Jones from Victoria placed 3rd.
Although it was great to see the winners go by, the main reason we went Downtown was to support Susannah’s nephew Eric who was running in his first ever marathon. He had a target time of 3 hours and we hope to be able to spur him on at the last mile. Here is is, looking amazing!
Not only did Eric finish the race in an amazing time of 2:56:46, but he also placed 3rd in his age group. Way to go Eric!!! Eric Holdijk with his Men’s 20-24 category 3rd place medal. Yay!
It was a great day to be outside, fun to cheer and inspiring to see all the folk who made it out to run…..5251 marathon runners and 10185 half marathon runners! Great job everyone! + 1 comment

Great work Eric. Well done! Pilar is a beautiful little baby who was awesome during our newborn session. At exactly one week old she still has that flexible, curled-up, new baby shape. We got some great shots and it was wonderful to see new parents Jacqueline and Maury again.  Amanda and Alex are getting married in June in one of our favourite venues – Furry Creek. As they live in Coal Harbour we decided to do their engagement shoot there. We had planned it well ahead of time and were so lucky with the weather. In a week of heavy rain, Saturday turned out to be an awesomely sunshiny day and pretty warm as well. Amanda and Alex are both super nice, love to laugh and Amanda has one of THE best smiles ever. Here are some images from the shoot…. Looking forward to June!!! no comments |
