It's a Nice Day for a Fotowok

by Jen on Monday, January 10, 2011



I'm so excited to introduce you to my new part-time photographers: Paul Milaire and Roderick Fung of the Vancouver based Fotowok. Although the company is in its early stages, the talent of its photographers is not. Meeting these guys through a mutual friend was a huge blessing. Although they are young, Paul and Rod impressed me right off the bat with their professionalism and attention to detail. We went for the shoot yesterday and the shots were delivered today, edited and processed, in the nick of time! They were also awesome at making me feel at ease. I am thrilled to inform you that we'll be working together from time to time starting now!

No fear, though, my wonderful boyfriend will still be doing photos for me regularly in between these shoots. Although he is always willing and always delivers, I'm glad to be able to give him a break once in a while since photography isn't his chosen profession. And speaking of the boyfriend, isn't this jacket from BCBG lovely? Stuffed with a cozy 90% down and 10% feather filling, it is the most stylish and gorgeous puffer jacket I've ever seen (and it's warm!). I saw it in stores the other day and although it was on sale for 60% off, it was still more than I wanted to spend. He sweetly decided to surprise me and get it for me. Thank you sweetheart!











Wearing: BCBGMAXAZRIA down filled jacket (gift from boyfriend) and ring, DKNY cozy, vintage belt, Vero Moda tulle and glitter skirt via The Bay, Forever 21 bag, Zara shoes

Beautiful photos, and how sweet of your boyfriend to surprise you with that jacket! The chain link trim on the collar makes it look extra special and almost Chanel-esque.

jen... this colloboration is stunning. not that david doesnt take amazing photos but these are also just perfect.
to answer all your questions.
1. yes i was freezing shooting that. every 5 min i had to take a break and put my jacket on.
2. the balenciaga arent new. they are from last year. i bought them in january.
3. the pics are shot at memorial park in west van. great location and totally secluded.
4.school is hell as i already have tons of homework. i will be lucky if i come out sane by the end of the semester.

lucky u to be graduating soon.

What a sweet boyfriend! I love this look, you look so lovely and elegant. I'm in a similar conundrum with my boyfriend-as-photographer situation...I feel bad always getting him to do it for me and I need to find a Vancouver-based photographer to fill in the gaps when my boyfriend can't do it! I had one in Vic and she was amazing but now I'm at a loss here in Van. If you know of anyone, please let me know, I'd hugely appreciate it!

so happy i found your blog! i love your electic style. and this look is so amazing in so many ways. obsessed with that jacket. i hope they are still selling it. i used to work at the bcbg corporate office and they have this amazing warehouse where employees get stuff like 75% off! so its hard for me to want to buy bcbg stuff at regular price! but this one is amazinggggg

now following! xx
