Mr and Mrs Smith Studios

After three days in the big city on shoots, Sarah and I have decided to take an open air office day while in immersed learning and planning. #GetOutside #ConstantNeverEndingImprovement #KnowledgeBrokers #ForestBathing

Well here we are back in Vancouver for 3 days (with a few sessions). Just had a spectacular brand session with a Langley realtor. It's so odd to be back and not to be able to call everyone up for a visit. We'll just be spending Sunday in the hotel working on our next big thing, thinking of everyone we wish we could be visiting.

It’s Monday, the start of a new week of opportunities. Let's give it a double fist pump and see what we can make happen :)

After having such a fun and successful and productive week we decided to get out for the day and spend 9 hrs driving to and from #Tofino for a 3 hr adventure on the #WestCoast of #VancouverIsland Worth EVERY minute! #iPhone #NoFiltersNeeded #BeautifulBC #entrepeneurLife

Tomorrow (Tuesday) @thebahaiknowledgenetwork is hosting two very different action classes. The first, 7:15am PDT, is week three of the #BahaisInBusiness #ActionClass featuring the 12 minute #ReadItForMe summary of one of our personal fave books #ThePowerOfHabit Then at 9:19am PDT we are hosting the first in a four consecutive day series for #HealthierConversations that anyone is welcome to join. Because whether sharing a belief, talking about problems with a friend or unsu...re how to talk to that neighbour we see in the elevator, great conversations are built with trust. Both will follow our action class format of introduction, short video book summary, goal oriented questions and then breakout groups to develop support, feedback and accountability. Registration for each is on The Baha’i Knowledge Network website and completely free. We’d love to see you there.

Here we are. #RapidfirePortraits and Mr and Mrs Smith Studios are going into full operation. Open air and Covid conscious studio, that also can (is) shooting on location (Victoria on Monday and Campbell River following on Saturday). August is already fully booked, but we look forward to seeing you in September and October. We will have regular scheduled dates for Rapid Fire Portraits with more info to follow on the websites. (Likely First Friday, Third Thursday and Fourth... Saturday each month) #Portraits #CorporatePortraits #MoreThanAHeadshot #Headshots #Branding #EveryoneIsBeautiful #EveryoneDeservesAGreatFirstImpression #VancouverIsland #ShawniganLake See more

After a very long time, we are excited to be back behind the camera As of Monday, we started re-taking bookings and August is delightfully full (with Covid measures in place). Here is one of the first images from the family/branding shoot that took us from the lake to the mountain top to the ocean. Of course I had to animate it #PortraitStudio #VancouverIsland #6FeetApartPhotography #FamilyPortraits #ModernBrand #Branding #GetOutside #werble #AnimatedPortraits

We are so excited to have folks back in front of the camera. For this family shoot we started at the lake. Then climbed a mountain, then returned down to the ocean (with a brief field stop in the middle for a formalish family portrait). So of course we had to animate one of our favourite images from the morning by the lake

Ask me 10 months ago... ask me 5 months ago... I wouldn't have thought it was happening (or possible). BUT... circumstance and necessity made it possible. Much more news to come. And wait until you see some of the images from our first 'returned' shoot. WOW!!! And this weekend we paint the new space for our second and third shoot next week. Thank you for still being here with us ... (PS> this was pulled from a live from my personal profile, we'll give this page a proper live video soon)

This is the end of our lifestyle #CSA boxes for this season from OUR Ecovillage Next year we will choose the second half to explore #WhatsInOurBox (they do 10 summer boxes and 10 fall boxes ) We hope you enjoyed this as much as we have sharing them ... #EatLocal #SupportLocal #LocoForLocal #FarmToTable #EatGreen #CSABox

Absolutely no reason for these faces. We’re just having so much fun on our trip together. entertaining ourselves in the car during the ferry the entire time, entertaining ourselves in the car when we arrive an hour early for the orthodontist, entertaining ourselves in the car while eating lunch waiting for a ferry back, entertaining ourselves in the car on the ferry on our way home

Here we are with our week 4 CSA Lifestyle box filled with #yumminess from our friends at @ourecovillage Love the feeling of consuming local #FarmToTable nutrition

Here is @ourecovillage weekly CSA Lifestyle box. We have questions. Hopefully you have answers... about what is in our box #FarmToTable #EcoVillage #SustainableLiving #SupportOurFarmers #EatLocal #WhatsInTheBox?!?!

COVID-19 update: We are working to update our website to reflect our modified and compliant process for portraits and branding, since this all went down right as we moved. There is a lot to navigate and to understand. From where we fit in the re-opening phases to how to best keep you and ourselves safe. ... In the coming weeks we will announce how services will evolve along with the updated website. We are also continuing to work on a few online options that we began to develop at the start of this. If you have any questions, or would like to start discussing potential future dates, please message us.

Taking to #VancouverIsland life quickly. We are enjoying unboxing our second CSA Lifestyle box from O.u.r.ecovillage with such deliciousness. #FarmToTable #WhatsInTheBox

Hi everyone! Wow. What a twisting and turning few months. With covid hitting so quick and all shoots being cancelled we have spent a great deal of time delving into other ways to be of service to our community and clients. Which we will share more about soon. We are also hoping to be able to start taking local and Vancouver bookings by July. Since I (Tobin) am considered somewhat high risk, we do still need to remain cautious, but I am working on diligently beefing up my imm...une system and will have protocols in place to limit contact. When you are ready, we would love to hear from you. The website will be getting an update too. Final note: At this time, we do not see ourselves being able to offer hair and make-up to a shoot. And it may be quite some time until that service is considered safe to do so.

While we remain closed down from branding sessions, it's a great time to reflect on how you want to come out of this and what you will want to say to your crowd and followers, so that you are ready to go, as soon as the environment allows. We're working on some online directions and options that will be available to you

During Sarah's shoot 2 years ago, I got to step in for a few with her. Thankful for my Pulse and iPhone. Celebrating 23 years of being Mr&Mr Smith today (May 17th, 2020).

Siblings... Always one listening to their dark side

Please.... leave the skin smoothing app alone. #ThereIsNoTry #YodaLessons #YouAreBeautifulTheWayYouAre #MayThe4thBeWithYou #The4thAwakens #StarWars

Isla likes to say The 4th Awakens, instead of May the 4th Be With You.

It's our first weekday in 2 weeks not hosting an hour long Global Celebration broadcast Feeling awesome about it and awesome after it; however, we are certainly missing the energy of people from more than 110 countries May you have a double fist pump worthy Monday.... #MayLifeBeAmazing
