Whistler Family Photographer | The Gadbois’

By Pascale | Published April 12, 2012

I had a tall order that went something like this:

A daughter who enjoyed skiing.
Healthy parents that still skied when said daughter was old enough to hold an edge.
A gorgeous sunny day.
Epic snow conditions.

Somehow with the stars aligning my tall order came true and I have been able to check this one off my list of wishes. The day was perfect. A little playtime, some rehydration with snow licking, an energy boost with m&m’s, blue skies and memories that will be as vivid a decade from now as they are today. I guess mom’s and dad’s will always have a knack for making dreams come true…I can only hope to do the same for my little girl.

Whistler Street Photographer | Stewart BC

By Pascale | Published April 6, 2012

Part of my family lives in Stewart BC and we get there as often as we can to visit. Our last visit, just a few months ago had the usual snow and staggering scenery. And as freezing as it looks, it actually isn’t much colder than here. Just incredible amounts of snow. Wherever I go, so does my camera and I’ve been sitting on these photos until now.

Recently, Global TV has been doing a feature on small BC towns and a morning not too long ago was dedicated to Stewart where they used some of my work to showcase it. Despite our stunning sunshine here these days, it felt like a hint to sit back and appreciate other parts of our Province and how beautiful they are. Most of which are in such deep contrast to the Corridor.

And now…back to our sunny, warm Spring day!

Whistler Family Photographer | The Little Things

By Pascale | Published March 28, 2012

I guess being with mom while she works doesn’t quite compare to making crafts or playing house. But she humored me for a bit before passing out into a deep sleep for her afternoon nap right there on the floor. I finished up my work and took a quiet moment with my daughter as she lay there so peacefully and it struck me that as much as we think and say how quickly she is growing up, that in fact she is still so little. Do they grow up faster in our minds because we constantly say they are?

Her waking hours are filled with non-stop movement, words and a little 3 year old attitude and so it’s hard sometimes to remember. But as I spend much of my time capturing little infants and counting fingers and toes it made me wonder why we don’t also do that with 3 year olds? So I took the moment because knowing her it wouldn’t be long before she is on the move again and my counting would have to quickly end.

Whistler Wedding Photographer | Playing with Street Photography

By Pascale | Published February 24, 2012

I dabble. Yes, my business focuses on wedding and family photography by here’s what I love most about carrying a camera around with me. You can find beauty in everything. And while we tend to focus on life’s events and milestones, sometimes it’s in the every day that we can find a moment to capture and preserve forever.

Now, this particular day had me on the ferry going to the Island. And if I’m being really truthful, these moments aren’t necessarily those moments that I’m referring to that should be captured forever more. However, aside from that I love watching people, hence the street photography. There isn’t much of this genre in the Whistler area but it’s a rapidly growing and very hot genre in major cities around the world. So when I dabble outside the world of photographing my beautiful daughter, this is where my eye tends to go. A moment in the day of a stranger. What’s their story? What did they wake up to that morning? Where are they going? Who do they love?

Hope you enjoy my mini journey.

Squamish Family Photography – A Saturday morning for me and my girl

By Pascale | Published October 29, 2011

It’s been busy, good busy…no make that great busy.

This weekend is my first weekend in a while of just being at home with my girl. Time seems to fly by with her lately, already 3 years old and torn between that ever so interesting place of baby and little girl. I find it to be such a difficult balance to strike between my own life and my work world, especially when both require me to pack around my camera. But with my precious little girl, so wise beyond her years gives me a gentle reminder of how to own the moment and embrace the simplicities that every day brings us. Our eyes just need to be opened to them.

This morning we enjoyed a simple walk in the forest. Yes, with my camera. And I kept the pace of my girl, or should I say speed! Pace sounds a little slow for what it was. Seeing the world through her eyes does amazing things to your spirit and energy. And for my immeasurable love for this funny little girl who thought it was a good time to strike a yoga pose while standing on the bridge.

It was a good morning…no make that a great one.
