“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
― Roald Dahl
Keeping it real
It's no secret that I've been lacking in the blogging department.
As a wedding/portrait photographer my busiest months are May-September. Perhaps that is why I am only really resurfacing now, in October.
It isn't a secret, but I also haven't exactly been making any "public" announcements about the fact that I have spent the past 5 months also growing a baby. Let's be honest ladies who've done this... the first trimester is no joke, and add that to being in my busiest season, shooting weddings.. travelling all over, trying to maintain balance in my family, walk the dog, clean the house, be nice, answer emails, edit and run my business... blogging was sacrificed. And, while we're keeping it real... my house completely fell apart. Like, laundry everywhere, dust for days, piles of "I'll deal with that later" all over. But, whatever... we made it.
I've felt more private with this pregnancy for some reason. Just didn't really want to make any kind of 'announcement'. So many reasons, but mainly... I'll just blame it on the hormones.
In any case, here I am.
5 months in, and we're all looking forward to a new addition to our family in February. I'm thrilled that my absolute favourite time of year is here, and it's straight into sweaters and hot baths. A perfect way to spend the next 4 months.
Thank you to all of you who have checked in, and who have been still visiting my action-less blog.
I'm looking forward to more.
(many more weddings and shoots to catch up on sharing)

Sean and Julie
I have been the worst blogger ever lately. I realize it. I have reasons. I swear.
I'm almost ready to announce why...
But until I have the perfect image to go with the post.... I'll hold off for a few more days. (Whats a few more days)
For those of you that have been checking in and seeing the same images, my apologies!
I'll do better.
Sean and Julie just ooze sweetness. He was a little nervous, but looked put together. Handsome. She was lovely. Calm, smiling and hugging all of her nieces and nephews. Taking it all in. Their ceremony was lovely, full of personal touches and "them". My favourite part of the entire wedding may have been the story. Their story, being told to all of their guests. Best. Part. Beautiful. So personal, so sweet.
Tigh-na-mara has been on my list of favourite Vancouver Island wedding destinations, and once again Suzanne and Tigh-na-mara was amazing, and don't even get me started on how much I loved the flowers by the ever awesome Petal and Kettle in Parksville. Total dream team. If you want your wedding to be relaxed and beautiful... you may be in luck with Tigh-na-mara.
Hope your Monday is full of beautiful, and if it's not... I betcha you just need to close your eyes, count your blessings and have another look.
