I met Josie about 10 years ago, when I first first moved to Revelstoke. We shared the same apartment complex and luster for discovering all that Revelstoke has to offer. Despite the small town vibes I think it’s safe to say we lost touch as she went her own way leaving town to study and I left to travel abroad for a few years.
Once I returned to Revelstoke, it was awesome running into her and realizing we both were drawn back to the beauty this town offers. When I saw she was expecting I was so honored to be able to share the joy in capturing Josie & Ty’s maternity images.
Josie’s positive attitude and luster for life and adventure pairs so well with Ty’s love for Revelstoke and they are looking forward to meeting the little one when he arrives.
It was unusually warm for January when we went for a wander in the woods to take these photos and try as we might we were hoping to get more images of their dog Bob, but Bob had other plans scurrying about enjoying the scenery!! This walk was one I’d never been on before, just a 5 min drive north of Revelstoke and I must say, when we stumbled upon the loader sitting in the forest I was quite stoked when the lovely couple was up for shots in front of it!!!
Josie & Ty I’m excited to meet the little one in a few weeks!!
ANDREA UNFETTERED [SHELTER BAY]
After a brief 40 minute drive south in the car from the town of Revelstoke, you will have reached Shelter Bay; the port situated on the Upper Arrow Lakes surrounded by both the Selkirk and the Monashee Mountains. From here you can access the free ferry taking you across the lake to Highway 23 & 31 South in British Columbia.
If you want a day trip this is the route to embark on, because not only will you encounter a sandy beach at the day use area but you can also see some of the most striking views while crossing the ferry, or you can choose to have a picnic at the camp ground by the boat launch.
Nestled between captivating mountains, unreal water tones, fragrant forest and scorching sunshine was the location for this photo shoot with Andrea.
You wouldn’t believe this mama isn’t a model, for she was natural through and through and up for all sorts of ideas during the shoot.
The forest met our senses and we came alive as we wandered the bank of the river, clambering over rocks, taking twigs out of our hair and even a splash into the (freezing) waterway for (the brave soul) Andrea !!!
