Day 35

The two days we spent shooting these images was so much fun.  I decided that we should get up bright and early so we could use the window sill of a restaurant downtown to frame our shots.  I'm not sure they would have appreciated this during the lunch hour rush.

See?  Neat window, huh?

Laelia was doing surprisingly well considering this was the earliest she had been awake in about 3 years.

If you look closely, you can see that she's actually sleepwalking.

I had to stand in the street to get these shots and Laelia usually warned me about oncoming traffic.  I'm assuming the times she forgot was retribution for making her get out of bed so early.

A police car was doing laps around the block while we were shooting to make sure we weren't the world's worst cat-burglars.

But it was worth it for the amazing light!

This little lady decided to join in the fun.  We didn't mind.

I'm really excited to start shooting more portraits!  I'll be on the west coast at the beginning of September, so all you vancouver/ vancouver-island-ites should give me a call!  Have a great day  :)

Love,

Day 34

See these pictures?  That's early morning sun, my friends.  And that early morning sun was gorgeous, but painfully hard to wake up for.    

I'm pretty in love with how it looks, though.  If my body doesn't revolt, I might try it again tomorrow.

Have a great day :)

Day 33

Even though I'm still editing the film, here is a preview of today's shoot just for you!  Huge thanks to Laelia for being her gorgeous self (and bringing her amazing vintage wardrobe).  Laels, you might be missing a few pieces.  It's just a coincidence that the ones missing are my size.

Also, how many people do you know who can rock a shaved head and Chanel earrings?

Have a great day :)

Day 32

Dun da da!!!  More exciting news!  Hearts & Photos is now offering portraits!!!!!!  I told you it was exciting :)

Now, while some of you may already be drafting an email to book me for your next 20 events, some of you may be saying "Hmm... Teryn, I like your stuff but I have questions" and that's ok.  I'm here to answer anything you ask.  

So obviously here at Hearts & Photos, our focus is capturing life on film.  film + you = beautiful.  But we like to mix mediums, too.  Using a combination of polaroid, film & digital images gives our work both immediacy and endurance.  Kinda like if the Tortoise and the Hare had a love child.  

No matter what, we strive to present natural, organic-looking images that highlight your personality and capture atmosphere and character.

We want to chronicle every part of your life from family and engagement to your life and style.  Oh, have we mentioned that we're more than happy to travel (you have been reading the blog, right?)

If you're interested and want to book a date or have questions about pricing, feel free to shoot me an email at terynrobinson (at) me (dot) com.

We can't wait to hear from you :)

Love,
Hearts & Photos

P.S.  We vow that you will never have to look at black + white images "with a splash of colour".   Well, not from us anyways.  We love you too much for that.

Day 30

Vancouver is calling my name.  I'm pretty sure I could just hop a train and head west, right?

Anyhow, the last day!  Ok, I'll admit it: I have been putting this post off for a little while.  I'm not so fond of "finishing" projects.  I'll get to the very end and lose all interest.  But, just for you, here is the last picture in the photo a day project.  Using very complex and scientific formulas (ie. draw the name out of a hat), tomorrow I will choose the winner!

Have a great night and good luck :)

Love,
Hearts & Photos

Day 28

Hi hello!  Sorry I've been MIA this week.  I went into a butter-induced coma over the weekend and am only now beginning to recover.  I've been doing a lot of cooking lately, and I don't seem to understand the meaning of "low fat".  Eggs Benedict with hollandaise sauce and swiss chard from my garden; creamy goat cheese tart with perfectly flaky pastry; strawberry tarts with homemade vanilla custard.

Geez, Teryn.  Ever heard of salad?  But mmm... it tastes so good that I'm happy to do a few thousand sit-ups to work it off!

Oh who am I kidding.  There will be no sit-ups.  If I disappear again, it's because I've relapsed.  Really, who could turn down pastry?

Have a great week (and eat something deliciously bad for you!)

Love,
Hearts & Photos

UPDATE: Did I mention vegetable tian and salmon with dill creme fraiche?  ohmygodidie!
