I'd love to share some exciting news.

After over 35 years as a portrait photographer I have decided to change course in my career and work my studio on a limit part time basis. I will still be available to all past clients and a few select new ones. I still love creating portraits and meeting the many wonderful people.

What am I doing now you may ask! I have started working on the sales floor at Galaxy Motors. Why did I choose to work here? There are a few reasons. First I like the people working here, the interview was a two way chat. I needed to know that this was a reputable car dealer and that my friends and past clients would be treated properly. Second, Galaxy Motors only carries top quality used vehicles . Some one else has paid for the biggest part of the depreciation, it makes for a better investment. You can get a much better vehicle for the same money you would spend on a new car. Having an amazing variety of cars on the lot allows you to comparison shop all in one place. Third, I do miss working with a team of positive people and I have found them here!

I would love to be of service to you if you are in the market for a new used car, truck or van. I have lots to learn but it's been super fun so far.

I look forward to chatting with you. You can give me a call at Galaxy Motors, 250-871-2125 or my cell @ 250-702-0541.

I'd love to be your car guy!

Cheers Jerry Van

Lots of fun with this sweet couple. This is one of my favourite portrait locations in the Valley. You can feel the love between these two, it was super duper awesome to capture that for them. These canvases will look great on the wall.

What a wonderful family. I was lucky enough to have Carolyn working with me for 11+ years. I've seen the family grow just a little! This is one of my favorite families to photograph, so much love and kindness in one group of people. I'm honored yet again. I've included a group one from 2014 as well as the kids from 2004, just a bit of a difference.

These kids had tons of energy, so did the pups! I needed a rest afterwards. I love how close they are, lots of love between them. That is what I want them to look at 20 years from now and they'll remember all the fun times they had together. It's one of the reasons I love photographing families. Enjoy

These girls were so sweet and lots of fun to work with. They love their dog so much, these are going to be fun memories to look back on years from now.

Ah a girl and her dogs. These will be such great memories for her, capturing memories is what a portrait is all about. To tell your story of this time in life. How will you tell your story?

What a fun and loving mother and daughter session this was. We went to Nymph Falls and the location didn't disappoint. I love how happy these ladies are together, these will be great memories to look back on.

This was a super fun Mother and Daughter session. The girls had lots of laughs and even a bit of a swim at the end of the session!

I love photographing twins, my wife has two amazing daughters and the connection they have is wonderful. This is a portrait with their great grandfather, sadly he is no longer with us, but the girls will be able to look at this portrait and connect to the stories they'll hear. I love creating family history in prints. How will you tell your story?
