Wei & Diane are dear friends of ours. While we were in Canada last week they were kind enough to open their home to us and let us stay a couple days while we were in Calgary before we headed to photograph a wedding in Banff. These two are true friends to us. I met Wei almost three years ago at Life as an Artform in Vancouver B.C. We were both in such different places in life at that point. I remember immediately gravitating to Wei because he had a certain depth to him that really intrigued me. We kept in touch and have become great friends over the years. I always say that the people who support and believe in you when you are nothing are the ones to keep around. Wei has always had the eyes to see me for the work that I am becoming not for what I am, and I am so thankful for that. 

I had the pleasure of meeting what might be the funniest girl I know, Diane, at WPPI a couple of years ago. These two are the couple that walk in a room and everyone turns and looks because their style is just bomb dot com. We decided it would be fun to shoot these two for our mentor session with Laurie while we were in Calgary. We had so much fun and I adore these photos.... mostly because I really adore the people in them.

Wow. Sarah, I've been a silent fan for a while. I'm not sure why it's taken so long to comment; likewise, I'm not sure while this spread of Diane & Wei spurred me to comment. My favorite is the shot of Wei meditating. As always, your work is a delight and an inspiration. Your blog layout also rocks - love the horizontal layout!

I am pretty fond of these two myself and these images of them are 'the bomb dot com' ;) Diane, you are the cutest EVER.

Heather says: Thursday, June 3, 2010, 08:23 AM

This whole session has such a fresh, light and happy vibe to it. Even the more "serious" black and whites... the wind is blowing, it seems like their smiles and happiness cannot be contained. Amazing work, Sarah!
