<br />
regardless..brian and meryl headed out to vancouver about 6 months after we did. and rewind a little more - i photographed their wedding in 2005!<br />
<br />
they are so much fun..and when they announced that "franklin" was gonna be a part of their family in may, i jumped at the opportunity to photograph their maternity session!<br />
<br />
i had fun..i giggled as brian remarked, something like, "trace, i love photo shoots with you, i get to kiss meryl lots in public." :)<br />
<br />
here's a few from our session down in the heart of new west at the end of april...<br />

<br />
[that story <a href="http://traceylheppner.blogspot.com/2010/02/our-true-wedding-wish-winners-vancouver.html">HERE</a> if you are new to the blog]<br />
<br />
the decision was really hard; we had AMAZING couples send us their stories.<br />
<br />
and then we chose omer & shannon. and what an incredible story they have.<br />
two worlds coming together - she from langley and he from pakistan - over an<br />
event - <a href="http://www.fatcityswing.com/">swing dancing</a>!<br />
<br />
we got to know them and their unique and beautiful personalities through their super-fun engagement session [look <a href="http://traceylheppner.blogspot.com/2010/03/shannon-omer-our-one-true-wedding-wish.html">HERE</a> for some of those fun photos!] this past march 2010.<br />
<br />
their wedding was unique and beautiful just like the two of them.<br />
<br />
i was so blessed by being a part of their day; it was evident the love they shared with each other. and the love that others shared with them. one of MY favorite parts in the reception was going over and waving and smiling to omer's parents, who were in pakistan, watching it all happen via <a href="http://www.skype.com/">skype</a>. it made me tear up every time. i just love them!<br />
<br />
i will let the photos of the day unfold and share the story of the day, through my lenses. :)<br />
<br />

<br />
people..mountains..the sky..stars..how they all work together just so (for the most part!).<br />
<br />
i was sitting in church on sunday and my friend jj was singing this song that instantaneously brought me to tears..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nCuGN-NeXfE/S9hcTEZwo5I/AAAAAAAALzQ/rz-8fJjcjLY/s1600/IMG_1464%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nCuGN-NeXfE/S9hcTEZwo5I/AAAAAAAALzQ/rz-8fJjcjLY/s400/IMG_1464%20copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
here are the words...<br />
<br />
<b>Indescribeable by Chris Tomlin</b><br />
<br />
<b>From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea<br />
Creation's revealing Your majesty<br />
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring<br />
Every creature unique in the song that it sings<br />
All exclaiming<br />
<br />
Indescribable, uncontainable,<br />
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.<br />
You are amazing God</b><br />
<b><br />
All powerful, untameable,<br />
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim<br />
You are amazing God<br />
<br />
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go<br />
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow<br />
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light<br />
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night<br />
None can fathom<br />
<br />
Indescribable, uncontainable,<br />
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.<br />
You are amazing God<br />
</b><br />
<b>All powerful, untameable,<br />
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim<br />
You are amazing God </b><br />
<br />
<b>Incomparable, unchangeable</b><br />
<b> You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same<br />
You are amazing God<br />
<br />
</b><br />
i don't know what your belief or value system is..but i had to stop and collect myself..every single bird that flies by my window. every tree that sprouts from the mountain to the northwest of me. every drop of rain that falls from the vancouver skies (and there are a heckuva lot!) every gorgeous cherry blossom that springs forth. they are all with purpose. god placed them in their little places here on this great earth.<br />
<br />
and that i, too, have such purpose.. wow.. </div><div style="color: black;"><br />
thanks god for stopping me in my tracks to reflect how fricking amazing you are, how you know i'm gonna fall on my face, and how i'm going to triumph. you rock. xoxo<br />
<br />
i found this video on youtube..amazing..</div><div style="color: black;"><br />

</div><div style="color: black;">there were 9 of us. it was fun..i was a cheeseball. we laughed. i talked to much. ok, i talked a lot!

<br />
so when she asked if i'd come shoot with her i was thrilled.<br />
<br />
you see, i have loved reine and her work for the better part of 3 years now. it's interesting how our friendship started. i can't recall if it was facebook or me "dropping" in.. :)<br />
<br />
anyhow, i love the way she embraces life. i also love how freaking creative she is. everytime i see something new she's done or she tells me of things she's doing, i am constantly amazed. it was the last time i was at her place that i said, "you know what, i don't think i access that part of my brain! that's why people like you are in my life; so i can see the vastness of life and all it's creativity!"<br />
<br />
the shoot today was absolutely wonderful. it wasn't just any old shoot. it was a shoot she was doing for <a href="http://www.weddingstylemagazine.com/">grace ormonde</a>, THE wedding woman herself.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nCuGN-NeXfE/S9BcyGHhzJI/AAAAAAAALww/Byb2vOCC7Jo/s1600/20100421_goblp-1829.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nCuGN-NeXfE/S9BcyGHhzJI/AAAAAAAALww/Byb2vOCC7Jo/s640/20100421_goblp-1829.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>that's when i was like, hola! this is gonna be fun!<br />
<br />
and it was. reine also asked melissa to shoot too - <a href="http://www.mgimages.ca/">melissa gidney</a> is a FREAKING talented phenomena..her photography is so raw and real. i love it. and so after i successfully checked her out on the interwebs and "creeped" her facebook fan page, i was really excited for today!<br />
<br />
the table settings we photographed were a DREAM. reine shoots medium format film - LOVE LOVE LOVE the feel of that, lemme tell ya! and so melissa and myself were shooting digital. and what were we shooting? DETAILS. oh my goodness. i pretty much was in my glory. i LOVE shooting details. :)<br />
<br />
tonight grace had her book launch party at <a href="http://www.thevanclub.com/">the vancouver club</a>. it was my first time, today, being at the vancouver club. its so elegant. i loved everything about it.<br />
<br />
after shooting 4 hours from 10:30 - 2:30 i put on my mom hat and got the kiddies from school. we headed to <a href="http://www.armyandnavy.ca/flyer_viewer/flyer_viewer.cfm?fid=1">the army & navy legendary shoe sale</a> and the kids scored 2 pairs of shoes each. :) they were happy campers.<br />
<br />
we got home and i got "dressed up" and the kids approved of my attire.. :)<br />
<br />
the evening was so much fun... so many wonderful, fun, really great people from the industry. from here and from seattle. grace was, well, so gracious...she mingled and then said a few words and then signed books. i had fun being the paparazzi and taking photos of everything that went on tonight.<br />

<br />
the couple had to be getting married this year, on a date we weren't already booked, and be involved in giving back to the community in a non-profit organization.<br />
<br />
jeanie and i had so many amazing couples enter the contest. and we had chose omer & shannon.<br />
<br />
fast forward to a couple weeks ago - we shot their adorable engagement session and it was so much fun to see some of our shots incorporated into their wedding day.<br />
<br />
their ceremony took place at the stanley theatre on south granville street. it was like a red carpet event - red carpet, paparazzi, tickets and a trailer before the ceremony.<br />
<br />
their trailer and ceremony were so incredibly moving..of course i cried, hello. :) <br />
<br />
i will write more in the big post, but here is a sneak of the gorgeous couple..<br />

<br />
from that first game, i knew that we'd be friends.<br />
<br />
fast-forward 2 years.<br />
<br />
jeanie & ian just celebrated their first year dating anniversary last month...and to no one's surprise who know them, he asked her to marry him that same night.<br />
<br />
of course she said yes! :) he proposed with a honda ruckus scooter (ask her about that sometime) and they are planning on getting married with their immediate family in...scotland. oh yes. her brother and fellow photographer here in vancouver, jeff ow of stu-di-o, is photographing their wedding. how exciting!<br />
<br />
so when jeanie told me about her engagement and asked if we could maybe make those portraits i was going to shoot of them, engagement photos, i was totally thrilled!<br />
<br />
note: it's always, i know for many of us photogs, nauseating to photograph other photographers. the only thing that made me feeling less pukey is that i have photographed jeanie before and know that her and ian are CRAZY in love and such a gorgeous couple, so that would make my job a dream.<br />
<br />
i was gonna do one of those "here's one photo for a sneak" tonight, as i'm shooting two weddings this weekend and was going to go to bed early. but when i downloaded all my cards, i knew there was NO way i was gonna be able to pick one of the HUNDREDS of fun shots we took today.<br />
<br />
so i chose 20. (remember - click on them to get a bigger look - my blog settings are crazy..will try and figure it out one day.. :)<br />
<br />
we brought out the infamous ruckus too..<br />
<br />
jeanie and ian - i couldn't be happier for you two. i'm so glad you found each other. and i'm so glad today wasn't very painful for you. :) (ian, yes, i do think you could go into modeling <wink wink!="">) love you both so very much.</wink><br />
<br />
enjoy the sneek. :)<br />
<br />

Gentle Hands is a child welfare and intervention agency based in Manila, Philippines. They are on the front lines of rescue and rehabilitation, providing for medical, social and educational needs of at-risk youth and children. They work towards improving human community through the love of God and community centered care. <br />
<br />
I might add that Gentle Hands is one of 5 agencies that now do foster care forchildren to be placed in temporary homes while waiting for adoptive parents. They are the only agency in Manila openly accepting children with special needs or terminal illness' requiring hospice care.<br />
<br />
I have deep connections to the Philippines...not only have my husband's parents been humanitarian workers there for 25 years, but both of our children were born there when we also lived there for 6 years (1996-2001).<br />
<br />
As a family we have decided to leave our comfortable Canadian-style and go back to the Philippines, and work with Gentle Hands. It was started in 1987 by my motherinlaw as a midwifery clinic for the urban poor. In 2003 it evolved into what it is today.<br />
<br />
We plan to move back by the end of this year. Yes..we have a lot to do before then. One of the things I wanted to put together before we moved there was an art show/silent auction where all profits would go to the Gentle Hands Building Expansion Project.<br />
<br />
They are currently at full capacity and need to build onto their current building. They have been able to buy the lot beside them but now they are just waiting to raise the funds to actually start building.<br />
<br />
How amazing would it be for us to be able to raise enough money for them to begin this project, or even finish the expansion?<br />
<br />
<b>THE ART FOR THE SHOW</b><br />
Initially I was going to do a solo-type art show, as I have travelled lots and could do an assortment of different pieces. Then when a fellow photographer in the industry said they would love to donate a piece of his art for the show, something sparked in my brain...how cool would it be to get LOTS of photographers and artists together to showcase their donated pieces and raise monies for this event??<br />
<br />
I have decided that the more people willing and able to give, the greater this event can and will be.<br />
<br />
<b>SPECIFICS</b><br />
The dates we are looking at is either the weekend of the 15th of October 2010 or the weekend of the 22nd of October 2010.<br />
<br />
The dates were chosen for October as it's just after the rush of back to school, wedding season for most wedding creatives is slowing down and before Christmas shopping really gets underway...what great gifts these pieces would make.<br />
<br />
The venue is still not secured. We would ideally love a venue to sponsor the event by us being able to utilize their space for no cost. <br />
<br />
<b>GUESTS</b><br />
The guest would purchase tickets for this event. We would have an early-bird fee of $20 and a last minute rate of $25. The proceeds of these ticket costs would cover the appetizers and drinks that would be served throughout the evening. Any other profits from the tickets would go directly to the Gentle Hands Building Project.<br />
<br />
A side note: Gentle Hands is registered in Canada as a non-profit organization. Any monies given to Gentle Hands will be tax receipted.<br />
<br />
<b>ABOUT ME</b><br />
I grew up in Vancouver and on the Island..so I'm a west coast girl at heart. After my husband and I got married, we moved overseas to the Philippines where I was a lay midwife with my motherinlaw at her clinic, Gentle Hands, which was then a lying-in clinic. We moved back to Vancouver in 2007 from being in rural Saskatchewan for 5 years where I started my photography business (2003). <br />
<br />
In that time i have been able to involved in the photography industry here in Vancouver. In August 2008, a fellow photographer and i began a community where Wedding Photographers can network with each other. There is currently 250+ members and the group continues to be a valuable asset to the Wedding Photography industry here in Vancouver.<br />
<br />
I am excited for our move..it was a family decision, as we have two kids, ages 8 and 12.<br />
who are looking forward to being with their cousins and grandparents, as well as being a part<br />
of the work at Gentle Hands.<br />
<br />
<b>HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN :: HOW YOU CAN BE INVOLVED</b><br />
If you are a photographer or creative, I would love for you to consider donating a piece of your work to the art show auction.<br />
<br />
If you are a venue, I would love to be able to secure your location for one of the dates I mentioned. Or if you know how to help us secure a venue, your help and information would be invaluable.<br />
<br />
If you would like to sponsor directly to Gentle Hands, that would most certainly be appreciated.<br />
<br />
I look forward to collaborating with you for this Art Show. <br />
<br />
Also if you know of anyone who you may think would be interested in partnering with us for this event, please feel free to forward them this email.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions, email me. <br />
<br />
For the love of the poor,<br />
Tracey, on behalf of Gentle Hands<br />

<br />
i'm still a little stunned. and with Lover over at scott's tonight, i'm sitting here with my laptop! could life get any better for a social media addict/web surfer/photo taker-blogger person? i think not. :)<br />
<br />
and so we will begin this blog post...<br />
<br />
* * * *<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nCuGN-NeXfE/S8AbQj53jxI/AAAAAAAALow/LAgZoNtA4s4/s1600/98things.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nCuGN-NeXfE/S8AbQj53jxI/AAAAAAAALow/LAgZoNtA4s4/s320/98things.jpg" width="288" /></a></div><br />
i have been slacking on the 98 things the last couple days..no excuse other than a couple of WAY too busy days. so i will do up 3 tonight to make up for the loss. no..make that 4.. 1 more for good measure.<br />
<br />
<i><b>#17 - release one grudge a month.</b></i><br />
<i><b>#18 - organize a day spa for women living at a domestic violence shelter with services donated from a local beauty school.</b></i><br />
<i><b>#19 - audition for community theatre.</b></i><br />
<i><b>#20 - get published.</b></i><br />
<br />
wow! i totally love EVERY one of those.<br />
<br />
its so easy to hold grudges, no? not just for big traumatizing things that happened when we those little children, but even for those times when we are older and someone pissed us off, or hurt us - intentionally or unintentionally - or if for our significant other forgetting something really important.<br />
there is something so freeing about truly, "letting it go". sometimes it seems like it is instant..and sometimes we have to let go of the same incident over and over for a month. but when we can feel truly free from that grudge - wow!! liberating with a capital L!!<br />
<br />
(wow that was a soapbox..maybe i should sip my vino slower...!)<br />
<br />
how i would love to collaborate with a beauty school to do something remarkable with women..and for me, i'd do it a step farther - take amazing photos for them to see their beauty on film.. wow.. i feel a project brewing. :)<br />
<br />
auditioning for a community theatre. the last time i did that was in high school.<br />
i will do it again. .maybe not anytime soon, as we are planning to leave vancity soon but i will do this i am thinking. how much fun would THAT be?!?<br />
<br />
oooooooooooo..get published. <a href="http://www.wedluxe.com/index.cfm?pagepath=Features_Gallery/Real_life_Weddings/Archives/Erika_David&id=7158">i have been once</a>. unintentionally tho. and my name wasn't on it.. chuckle. a wedding i second shot with a photographer a few years ago..they had submitted a wedding to WEDLUXE. and the publishers of the magazine chose one of my photos that the photog included, as the MAIN full page photo. chuckle. i kinda felt bad for my friend. for a minute. :) giggle..<br />
<br />
but seriously..i will get published..one day.. whether for photography or writing or both.. i have far too much in the depths of my mac-brainage aka computer, that i would love to give the world.<br />
<br />
just saying.. :)<br />

the <a href="http://www.vancouverphotogs.com/">vancouver wedding photogs & second shooters group</a> i co-founded with michelle libby, affectionately called "libby" by some, has been one of the most incredible, fulfilling endevors i have been involved in, in a long time... to see something that was birthed, over lunch (greek lunch i might add! bring on the tsiziki!!) with the dream of building a community for photographers to collaborate together and better themselves TOGETHER, now be 250 strong and essentially functioning on it's own. WOW. simply wow!<br />

i thought long and hard on how i was going to "hand it over" as we are moving...yes..i will admit - i take on a bit much sometimes...but only SOMETIMES! but i knew that the task to do everything i had been doing was rather..how shall i say.. daunting for just one. so i divided it up into a few parts..and HELLO! that was much easier to swallow!! so i'm so thrilled to have <a href="http://www.laurahana.com/">laura lui</a> doing admin stuff like email, facebook, twitter, <a href="http://www.blueolivephotography.com/">miranda lievers</a> helping with website and putting together social GTG's, <a href="http://www.jaylena.com/">jason ho</a> taking charge of getting some photowanders together throughout the year, <a href="http://www.realloveis.com/">michael wachniak</a> coordinating workshops and such..and <a href="http://www.studio32photography.com/">libby</a> will continue to bring her steady, lovely, fun self to keep it all from getting to serious.. i'm so thrilled with the team that has come together..i know that the 5 of them will be able to do MUCH more than i ever could for the community...5 brains are better than 1. ;)<br />
<br />
not gonna lie..a part of me is sad..to leave the community that is so "family" for me.. but i know that they will go places and to be able to say that i had a little part in it..that's good enough for me. :)<br />

<br />
i HAVE been doing some of my tax prep..but i had to take a break..it was just too much for the brain.<br />
<br />
so after hours of emailing and trying to call on our vonage phone back and forth to the philippines with my sister in law, charity, we now have the 3rd draft finalized and i'm FTPing the photoshop files over there for them to print.<br />
<br />
YAY!!!!!<br />
<br />
and it made me miss all the wonderful things about the philippines that i forget about..here's a few photos from our may 2008 trip (sorry they are so low rez!) that capture a bit of regular life there...<br />

<br />
how honest are we gonna be here? ok..it's my blog and if you judge me, well then.. such is life.. ;)<br />
<br />
when we lived in the philippines form 1996-2001 i barely shaved my legs. it's not "necessary" there.<br />
not a cultural faux paux back then. mind you i have very fair hair color. regardless. i can say i have done this. :)<br />
<br />
this is me doing what i do..second shooting at it's finest. :)<br />
happy easter friends! oxox<br />

BAM!<br />
but i wanted simple ones..as in a simple look. <br />
<br />
i bought these before christmas. it's now april.<br />
i decided today was the day to "set them up".<br />
<br />
i'm pretty happy with the final product.<br />
i used some of my second shooting shots from some weddings with <a href="http://www.blueolivephotography.com/">Blue Olive</a> to demo them.<br />
