Kristen and Kyle

Phew! Im getting back into the swing of things after taking a break this summer to tie the knot myself! It was a WONDERFUL day and I will blog about it for you later this week!

Im really excited to post the engagment photos for Kristen and Kyle that I shot a few weeks ago! This couple has been incredibly patient with me over the last few weeks waiting for their images. Which I was happy to deliver to Kristen at her sister-in-law (to be)’s wedding this weekend! It was at the wedding where Kristen shared with me that the two of them were moving to Milan, Italy. The very next day!! Yes, really. Turns out Kyle plays hockey competitively and the two of them met down in the USA while going to college. He has avidly been pursuing his hockey career which is now taking them to Europe. And Kristen couldn’t be more excited, “shopping, pasta, sight seeing and wine…get me on that airplane!” Kristen and Kyle are such a gorgeous couple, full of love and contagious energy I am looking forward to hearing all about the adventures they will have over there, including their own wedding next year!

Best of luck you two!

Hi everyone, just a quick note to let you know that I will be away for the next two weeks for my own wedding! M and I can hardly wait to see all our family and friends, we are really excited! I will respond to all emails once I return and I thank you for all your patience. I worked really, really hard to wrap up most of my shoots before I took off but came up short. I apologize! And since a post is not complete without a photo I’m going to post one for a girl who’s been SUPER patient with me. Here’s a shot from a really special engagment session with her man and her pup!

See you in a couple of weeks!!

Dundas Family Veranda Beach session

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:19:16 +0000

I had a great night on July 4th, visiting Veranda Beach in Oroville WA. A quaint little beach community, with a vintage twist definately takes you back in time. And strangely reminded me a little of Wisteria Lane from that show Desperate Housewives! All the lawns are perfectly groomed, white picket fences, even the wooden patio doors make that old fashioned and distinct “slam” when you shut them. What a neat place to stay for July long weekend! The Dundas family called Veranda Beach home for a few nights as they gathered to celebrate Denise and Rick’s wedding anniversary! We had a nice evening wandering around throughout the property laughing and snapping away. With street names such as barefoot and flip flop how could you not love this relaxing little lakeside getaway?? Malcolm came too and got to talk fishing with Liam while the little girls marveled at my camera and I snapped a few candids. As we wrapped up the shoot Denise invited us to stay for BBQ dinner…YUM! What a wonderful night thanks again!

Osoyoos wedding with photographer Jesslaine Elise

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:30:18 +0000

oh la la beautiful wedding post of Erin and Josh Lawsons Osoyoos wedding from photog Jesslaine Nickolet that I was lucky enough to second shoot for! Up on her blog!

Jess describes it perfectly how we first found out about each other! I stumbled on her blog over a year ago from a comment made on another favorite (now retired) couple of photographers at Dream Photography. We clicked instantly and shared advice and support back and forth via email for a few months. Then the stars aligned when she asked if I would give her a hand at a summer wedding in Osoyoos! What are the odds of that? A Saskatoon photographer (where I used to live), who has a background in healthcare (she is a registered nurse and I a pharmacist), landing a wedding in my neck of the woods? What a super girl she is and very talented at that, honest and true to her self which I really admire. She also photographs deliveries…yes BABY deliveries…as she has lots of professional nursing experience in labour and delivery. Now I have never had a baby, or witnessed a delivery but her images are so vivid and candid they send shivers down my spine, make sure you check them out! So if you are lucky enough to be getting married or having babies in Saskatoon, (or if you have any excuse to get your photos taken) drop Jesslaine a line. You won’t be sorry!

Thanks again Jess, Erin and Josh for a wonderful day!!

Stenner Family

admin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 05:04:11 +0000

A few weeks ago I spent an evening with the Stenner family! They organized a GREAT BIG family fun session, and what fun it was!! Kids, dogs, everyone was there and we had a beautiful evening for photos. Everyone was such great sports with my spontaneous ideas, these guys like to laugh and goof around alot so we were a perfect match. I always love my family sessions, its so neat to have the opportunity to get invited into the tight knit family and spend the evening chatting and laughing with them. Pretending like your one of the gang! Watching the ways they interact with each other, learning about what they do for work and for play and getting to capture it all on my camera!

Amanda and Dave

A few snaps from Amanda and Daves Thursday evening e-session! Got rained out twice, and had to postpone…but it was worth waiting for this perfect summer sunset in the SimilkameenValley!! We tromped through the tall grasses and while we all made it out tick free the mosquitos sure tired to get the best of us! Luckily we showered ourselves in OFF and braved the elements!! The lovely Liza, my friend and second shooter extraordinaire joined us too and I snuck in one of her images at the end. These two little love birds will be having a beautiful early fall wedding!

How s t u n n i n g is Amanda in this first shot??? those eyes?? I die!

Bayda Family

What a busy couple of months its been! I know the posts have been a little few and far between, but I’ve got lots of good things coming your way soon!

I’d like to share with you a mini family session that I did back in the Spring with the Bayda family. What started out as a just for fun shoot with the girls turned into a fun family session when the weather co-operated and turned out Jason had the day off too! Perfect! So we explored around town, I tried out a few different things with my equipment and had a great afternoon together! Thanks you guys for helping me out with this one and sorry for the loooong posting delay!

Have a great Monday!
