Portrait of Kevin Bieksa in the Vancouver Canucks dressing room yesterday towards more awareness of a new initiative called mindcheck.ca that aims to assist teens and young adults with early detection of health issues such as drug addiction and depression. Bieksa's friend and fellow Canuck hockey player Rick Rypien [#37] suffered greatly in his short life and took his own life earlier this year. Join Kevin if you can in recognizing depression in youth, dispelling myths and encouraging treatment early.

I photographed Kim and Adam's wedding on Granville Island about five years ago. Oh, how far they have come. Two beautiful kids, a summer place at Harrison Lake, jeans for everybody! Ok, all kidding aside, the Jones family lives in the city and are holidaying at Harrison this week and popped by for some family pictures. Can't-sit-still Keeghan at 16 months is discovering the world around him and four-year-old Addison exclaimed, "This is my first time in an open field."

Anja and Mike are the most generous people we know. We've known and loved them for many years and met playing Ultimate Frisbee. The two of them - self-admitted single for life - decided to host a party last Saturday for all their friends in celebration of their "Holey Matriphony." They're good friends and claim they'll probably never marry anyone... but wanted their friends and family to enjoy a wedding party all the same, with band, booze and cake. We made a few photographs around Anja's Main Street Vancouver neighbourhood the day before. Here are a few favourites. edit: Turns out I was wrong. Mike is not ruling anything out and is open to meeting a beautiful woman, settling down and ...
