hello beloved friends!
I have some big news, something that's been in the works for awhile now and that I'm so excited to share. Beloved Photography will now be known at Shannon Yau Photography. Why the change? You'll find the brief answer on my new blog (here!) but I will say that it was time for change. I will forever call this photography venture of mine an adventure and with that comes growth and change.
Beloved will always hold a soft spot in my heart but I'm so excited to share this new identity. It's beautifully crafted and feels so me. :)
So please go check out the new www.shannonyau.com and let me know what you think.
Oh, and don't forget to update your bookmarks!

Dear blog and blog reader(s),
My sincere apologies for being so negligent over the past couple weeks. You see it was Christmas and thus I had many presents to buy, wrap, unwrap, etc. There was also the baking that needed to be done then eaten. It was exhausting. Next came the the year and with that new beginnings.
One of my goals for this year is to find better balance. Last year Beloved somewhat took over my life. I'm not necessarily complaining, I just decided that this year has to be a little different. I plan on being for efficient, doing things a little differently, learning from my mistakes.
I also plan on doing a little more for me. This includes starting the year off with a 30 day yoga challenge. Yup, nothing like starting things off with a bang. So far I'm 5 days in and I'm a little sore but overall feel great. Check back in 20 days and we'll see if I feel the same way. I also decided to start the year with a cleanse, you know as a remedy for all those baked goods and eggnog. I decided to go with the wildrose cleanse this time around and so far so good. I'm 1/2 done and really haven't found it that hard. I've been quite creative with rice cakes but I'm actually enjoying finding cleanse friendly recipes.
So that's my start to the year. This is the calm before the storm and I am taking it as time for me. It won't last long and before I know it I'll be shooting weddings every weekend again. The first one is next weekend and I'm really excited for it. My first winter wedding! It's outside so please pray for warmish weather for us!!
I also have a boudoir marathon coming up in January and I'll leave you with that. I promise to make blogging part of my routine again...soon.
Happy New Year!! (6 days late)

It's time.. dum da da dum... for the 2010 photo extravaganza! These are a selection of my favourites from the past year. Some have appeared on the blog before and some are brand new. You might look at some and think "what's so good about that one", the answer is I don't know, I just like them! Going through these made me realize just how crazy a year it's been. I am so unbelievably grateful to all my clients, for trusting me to help tell their story. It was a year of ups and downs, many happy dances and many meltdowns. At some points I felt like I was spending more time with my computer than people. I cried. alot. but I laughed alot more and that's why it's worth it.
2010 was an incredible year for beloved but I've learned some things and I'll take that into 2011 and make that an even better year.
Even if you don't have a blog, take a moment to reflect on how far you've come this year, you might be amazed at what you've done. This is also the perfect spot to lead into my 2011 List Post.. which will be coming soon! :)

Earlier this year I along with the lovely Lindsey and Laura decided we wanted to give boudoir a try. We thought wouldn't it be great to offer ladies a place to come where they get their hair and makeup done and then get some pretty photos done to share with their partners or maybe even just for themselves. We are a team, a package deal and we're oh so very proud of our little project. So proud that we decided it needed it's own name and it's own home. Thus was born La Coquette and www.lacoquette.ca.
La Coquette is more than just boudoir photography, we call it a boudoir experience. We encourage girlfriends to come together, to have a girls day out where you get more than just a pair of shoes (you get those the weekend before of course!).
Voila! a few from the last session.
