This is a great farm to go to if you don’t like over-picked patches and not a fan of selecting your pumpkin in a crowded patch full of people. A lot of people go to the more popular ones but I enjoy seeking out the smaller quieter farms. I also prefer spending my money at a smaller outfit because they tend to struggle more with the larger farms as competitors.
Mars Farm is located on Veyaness Rd and it’s nice and mellow there. No crowds at all and lots of great pumpkins to choose from. I recommend going here for your pumpkins next year. Visit their farm market stall to purchase great fresh produce at fabulous prices. Support our local small farms by visiting them in person when you can!

Homecooked meals are the best! We do enjoy dining out when we’re able to but there’s something special about preparing a meal together in the comfort of one’s home. When you cook together there’s a sense of unity and teamwork. It’s important for my family to have at least two meals together each week. Those are the times when we can get caught up with what everyone has been up to and discussing current affairs and news stories of interest. Conversations are very important at the dining table. It is a simple way for us to bond with loved ones and something I treasure deeply.

The salmon BBQ at this year’s Metchosin Day Fair was just as fantastic as the lamb BBQ. The smells were amazing!

Jett MaJique is amazing to work with. An enthusiastic model who brings plenty of fun outfits, accessories and props to shoot with. Jett can take direction very well. She’s relatively new to the burlesque scene but this is one lass to watch. Jett’s extremely creative and already has some nifty acts under her belt. Keep your eye out for her performances in the near future!

I had a wonderful garden shoot with Dollipop last weekend. She’s one of my favourite models to work with because of her awesome energy and enthusiasm. This is one of my favourite images of her from that day. The light was just right and this was shot in the back gazebo area where the shadows hit all the spots I wanted. The light was amazing that day. Pretty much all the images taken during this shoot were straight from the camera.

This is my fave shot from the duo shoot I did last weekend. This was was taken inside the house, most of the other ones were shot outside. I enjoy this photo because it’s so playful and fun! The expressions on the gals’ faces are awesome and the lighting was just about right. I’d have preferred some more light coming from the left but worked with what was available.
